Zoë in her own words
Enthusiastic, passionate and driven by the law and its human side, I enjoy dedicating myself to others.
Helping people by giving them a listening ear, providing them with tailored legal advice, or assisting them in court and out gives me satisfaction in my daily work.
As a lawyer, I find it important to assist my clients with care and attention in legal matters that can be very complex and can often have a major impact on their lives. I offer not only legal expertise, but also personal guidance in difficult situations.
‘Justice is not always the quickest path, but the go-getter always finds the way that leads to truth and justice.‘
