I am a Solicitor in the Family Team with four years’ post-qualification experience, specialising in divorce, finances and children matters, with a particular focus on matrimonial finance issues.

I am committed to providing clear, practical and outcome-focused advice. My approach centres on helping clients see the bigger picture and plan for the long term. While family disputes can easily become adversarial, I work to reduce conflict wherever possible and keep matters progressing efficiently. I am firmly on my clients’ side—supportive, realistic and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, whether through constructive negotiation or robust litigation.

I joined Wollens in October 2025, having previously worked at a firm in Plymouth for nearly five years.

My experience includes:

Obtaining a Legal Services Payment Order for a client unable to fund his own legal fees, where the spouse held substantial assets
Representing clients in children matters involving allegations of harm and/or alienating behaviours
Acting in all stages of contested financial remedy proceedings
Advising on disputes over the classification of matrimonial and non-matrimonial assets
Preparing Deeds of Separation for married and unmarried couples
Drafting and securing Consent Orders, including complex Orders and clean break Orders
Representing clients prevented from having contact with their children
Advising on national and international child relocation
Assisting with Hague Convention proceedings to secure the return of a child to the jurisdiction of England and Wales
Assisting in discharging a Special Guardianship Order to enable a child’s return to her birth mother

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, travelling, live music and festivals, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Testimonials

Steve and Nicky were incredible during our recent house purchase. Their communication was clear throughout, which made a stressful process much easier to manage… Steve was consistently thorough, professional, and reassuring… We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve, Nicky, and the wider Wollens team. If we ever move again, we’ll be using them without question. – N., June 2026

Wollens have been absolutely fantastic during the entire case but my experience working with Amelia has been exceptional. I cannot fault anything about her work and will most definitely recommend/request her if myself or anyone else of that matter needs legal advice/representation. – H., July 2026

The caring and understanding I received from my solicitor was absolutely superb… I would highly recommend her and the firm. – N.S., August 2026

I cannot praise Wollens Barnstaple branch highly enough for excellent, professional service when selling and purchasing property. I would happily recommend them and intend using them again for further legal matters. Thank you so much Andrew Wood for making it all such a smooth and stress free process.

My will was all done remotely by phone, notes, letters due to the distance involved – about 145 miles, general health and Covid restrictions.
More recently I had a serious illness with loss of driving license and other lasting problems but I have been very lucky with the outcome. What seemed difficult was much easier with the help I was given. Excellent service. Solicitor Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett have been friendly, considerate, shown knowledge in an understanding way throughout preparing my will – and I have never met them.
Wollens is highly recommended.

Craig and Shirley at Wollen’s have supported us throughout a particularly tricky matter, where usual routes of communication were not possible. The advice that we were given was always very clear and concise and we found Wollen’s very responsive to any queries or concerns. They were conscious of the weighty emotional element involved but very mindful of removing the emotion from decision making processes, which made it easier to see the bigger picture. I would certainly recommend to friends or colleagues requiring legal support.
