My approach
I currently provide tailored legal solutions through my own law practice, Savian Legal, where I provide legal advice and assistance to the wider community.
I understand that contacting a law firm for advice can be stressful. I don’t have a “one size” approach and appreciate that everyone is different in how they process information and manage their affairs. I work within your restraints and equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions because at the end of the day you need to be in control of your outcome as much as possible.
I have been volunteering with ICDRS to help develop the CMFAW and provide mediation services in an attempt to help empower individuals to take positive steps forward to resolve conflict and reduce barriers to justice.
