I am a Paralegal in the Private Client department at Wollens, based in our South Devon office.

I joined Wollens in 2023 as a Secretary after completing my A-Levels. I then went on to study Law (LLB) at the University of the West of England, graduating with a First-Class Honours degree and receiving the Third Year Commendation Prize for Outstanding Achievement. Throughout my studies, I returned to Wollens during the summer holidays to develop my practical skills and gain further insight into Private Client work. I am now back at Wollens permanently as a Paralegal and am preparing to become a Trainee Solicitor later this year, qualifying through the SQE route.

I specialise in Probate and Estate Administration as I find this area of law particularly rewarding as it allows me to support individuals and families through challenging times. I enjoy helping clients understand the process by breaking down the law into clear and accessible advice. Building strong relationships with clients is very important to me, and I want them to feel confident that they can come to me with any questions, no matter how big or small.

I was born and raised in Torquay and enjoy being close to the sea. I am proud to work in this lovely town. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, following a variety of sports, particularly football and motorsport, and regularly travelling to watch live sporting events. When I am not at work, I can usually be found exploring the South Devon coastline with my three dogs.

Testimonials

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.

From the initial request, price quote, discussion and follow up we couldn’t have wanted a better, more personal and quick approach to help us have a contract checked over. Marco was extremely helpful, personable and knowledgeable. He cut through all the lawyers jargon and made it all very easy to understand. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wollen’s and are looking forward to working with Marco as our sons career progresses in the future.

Trusted Wollens with the sale of my share of a business that I had started from scratch some 20 years ago so as you can imagine this was quite a sensitive journey for me. Have never done anything like this before so didn’t know quite what to expect, expectations and reality are quite different, but Wollens have your best interests at heart so you can’t rush a good job. The sale has now all gone through and I can move on with the next part of my life. I thank Wollens and both Emma’s very much for all their hard work.
