1. Question Summary
• What attracted you to commence your own firm, Revolution Law?
The opportunity to be able to give back to my clients in many aspects which I had noticed during my experience in the profession, wasn't occurring as it should. I realised that the only way in which I could make those necessary changes was to create Revolution Law.

• What attracts you to this area of practice?
I was raised in a single parent household in Queensland where my Mother would often struggle financially so I witnessed first hand, the financial challenges that every day Queenslanders face in obtaining legal services. I also thoroughly enjoy helping others as there is no better feeling at the end of the working week to know that not only have you helped my client in more ways than they may ordinarily have received but also obtained the best result possible whether it be financially, timely or service based.

• What do you like most about your job?
Receiving a thankyou from my clients at the end of their claim confirming that I made a difference in their life.

• What are your strengths as a Lawyer?
Besides my experience and legal skills after five years with the top tier personal injury firms both Nationally and in Queensland, I have also obtained strengths in advocacy, people skills, empathy, understanding and being available for my clients.

* In May 2014, I was due to commence working with Maurice Blackburn Lawyers in May 2014 however ultimately turned down their offer due to Slater and Gordon providing a stronger offer to keep me in their employ. I also received an early offer to work with Shine Lawyers in 2014.
