“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for representing me and dealing so gracefully and professionally with my complex case! I am ever so grateful to you and so impressed by your in-depth knowledge related to domestic abuse, professional conduct and insight throughout the long hearing yesterday. I now have more hope of moving on with my next steps for finalising my divorce thanks to your kind approach” -Lay Client.
“I instructed Georgia on a very complex matter on very short notice (the day before the hearing), for which papers were still outstanding… Georgia remained positive and very understanding of our predicament. She was happy to be instructed on the very brief instructions that we had. Her patience and positive attitude in these circumstances was exemplary. I'm taken aback by Georgia’s dedication to achieving the best outcomes for our client. Her position statement was fantastic, clearly setting out the client's position. It truly deserves the highest praise, as the statement was so detailed, considering how short notice the instructions were given” -Instructing Solicitor.
Before life at the Bar, Georgia worked in the women’s voluntary sector for nine years in various roles, including within a complex needs refuge, as an outreach worker, and as an LGBTQI+ specialist support worker and professional trainer. Prior to joining 3DJB, Georgia was a team leader for the National Domestic Abuse Helpline.
Georgia’s background makes her well-placed to represent particularly vulnerable clients who she routinely represents at fact-finding and final hearings where allegations of domestic abuse, parental alienation or sexual violence are made. Georgia has been highly successful in this regard, frequently obtaining findings sought.
Georgia enjoys a varied practice in Chambers and accepts instructions in all areas, including;
- Care Proceedings
- Private Children applications
- Occupation Orders
- Tenancy transfers
- Domestic abuse injunctions
- Specific Issue Orders
- Prohibited Steps Orders
- Final hearings
- Fact-finding hearings.
- Appeals
