Kate

Director/Solicitor

I am immensely proud to lead our team.

Each case presents a unique challenge and an opportunity to make a real difference in both my client’s life and the Newcastle community. It’s not just about securing the best outcome in court, it’s about ensuring the best outcome for the individual we represent. I offer more than just legal representation, I provide a chance to defend my client’s reputation and integrity.

With regular appearances in court, I’m fortunate to have a dedicated team who are always up to speed and ready to respond to any questions, ensuring our clients receive the immediate advice they need.

From 2019 to 2023, I was proud to be recognised as a Leading Regional Criminal Lawyer in the Doyles Guide, alongside consistent Recommendations in Traffic & DUI Law. In 2024 and 2025, my expertise in criminal law continued to be acknowledged with Recommended rankings, reflecting my ongoing commitment to excellence and client service.
