I am a Solicitor in the Private Client department based at our Dereham office. I enjoy dance, art, theatre and travelling.
I completed my law degree at Manchester Metropolitan University and graduated with honors in 1998. I then completed the Bar Vocational Course at the MMU and was called to the bar at Lincoln’s Inn, London in 1999.
From 1999 to 2009 I worked at one of Manchester’s leading criminal law firms specializing in the defence of murder and manslaughter. I also headed up the general Crown Court department. I took my Qualified Lawyer’s Transfer Test in Oxford in 2007 and cross qualified as a Solicitor.
From 2009 to 2017 I became a consultant based in Manchester in serious crime and also prison law attending parole hearings around the country.
In 2017 I moved from my home in Cheshire with my two children to Norfolk. In 2018 I retrained into private client law whilst also affiliated to a firm in Staffordshire until 2022 undertaking prison law work.
I joined Ward Gethin Archer in October 2022 and am based at the Dereham office as a private client Solicitor.
I can assist you with all aspects of private client work ranging from Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection to Probate. I am both professional and empathetic and will deal with your matter in an easy to understand manner.
A friendly and professional team that was very compassionate and supportive of my circumstances and situation.
Julia was most helpful to me in dealing with my Will, she is a great credit to your company.
Through the whole process Julia was very helpful and advised us through the process.
We needed to revise our Wills. We received clear, detailed and specific practical advice throughout the process. The emotional dimension inherent in making revisions was also sensitively attended to. The service we received was very professional.
Julia was very helpful and understanding....The whole process was done very quickly and satisfactory.. thank you.
