About

Profile

I am a sole practitioner in Auckland specialising in both New Zealand and United Kingdom immigration law, visa and citizenship applications.

I represent and advise individuals and employers needing immigration advice.

My Goals

I started my law firm with the goal of being an advocate for people going through the immigration process.  I have helped many applicants and their families migrate and settle in New Zealand.  I have also assist many individuals and families with their entry clearance to the United Kingdom.

Guidance

I believe legal problem-solving skills are very powerful and necessary in today’s world of modernised immigration laws and I use those tools to empower my clients to navigate their way through the system.
