"I have worked for many years in protecting and representing domestic violence victims. I work closely with domestic violence organisations such as Trident Reach, Women's Aid and Derbyshire W.I.S.H. Many of my clients have been bullied and have gone through extreme conditions due to their perpetrator. I do not allow that to continue and provide my client's with the tools and advice to break the cycle of domestic violence."
