About Me

I was educated at St. Patrick's College, Silverstream and the University of Auckland. I've been working as a lawyer for almost 10 years. I am also a Registered Financial Adviser and part-own the insurance company dhoRisk. I live north of Auckland with my wife, son, grandson and two dogs. I enjoy spending time with my family, watching sports, particularly rugby and cricket. Time permitting I also enjoy playing golf and vege gardening.

Location

My office is located at Level 1, the Northcress Centre, 163 Great South Road, Manurewa, Auckland. I will appear in any court in the Auckland region, and beyond if necessary. Please download information about my services.

Payment for Services

I am an approved Legal Aid provider for certain areas of law. For clients who are not eligible for legal aid, I always offer generous payment terms, including weekly instalments.

Instructing Solicitor

As a barrister I require an instructing solicitor before I am able to accept a brief. This doesn't mean you have to pay two lawyers, but is simply an age-old rule governing the way lawyers must operate. I can arrange an instructing solicitor for you if necessary.
