Respected by fellow lawyers

Sandy is well known and respected in the Devon family law community

Sandy’s career has included time with WBW, Trowers and Hamlin (who took over Stones), Ford Simey and Dunn and Baker (where she was a Partner and Head of the Family Team).  She has mostly been responsible for the supervision of other solicitors and trainees.

Sandy also trained as a mediator a number of years ago. Whilst she never achieved accreditation with the Family Mediation Council, our view is that mediation training makes everyone who does it a better lawyer. The reason is that mediation training enhances negotiation skills and gives a better understanding that there invariably two ways of viewing a problem (at least) and that the best long term solutions are rarely achieved through confrontation.

About Sandy

Sandy is married with grown up children.

In her spare time Sandy enjoys visits to historic places and to the theatre.
