Holly regularly supports families at inquest and where appropriate, to pursue a civil claim post-inquest.
‘I am passionate about helping my clients through the inquest process and where appropriate to pursue a civil claim following the conclusion of the inquest. I hope to assist my clients through the process and to be available to answer any questions they might have. I always endeavour to take time to keep my clients updated and informed and to break down legal jargon to make the process as accessible as possible. I appreciate that attending an inquest can be a very difficult and emotional experience for the families involved, and by offering my legal support I hope to make the process less daunting.’
