What you offer your clients
Poppi offers a sensitive and friendly approach teamed with practical advice and effective case handling. Poppi identifies her client’s objectives from the outset of matters enabling her to deal with the matter in the most effective way and provide practical tailored advice. Poppi believes that, often, matters can be resolved amicably through alternate means than issuing or defending legal proceedings.
She appreciates the majority of her clients will have been fortunate enough to not be involved in a legal dispute previously and ensures advice provided is to the point (with minimal legal jargon) and clearly sets out a client’s options. She understands instructing a dispute lawyer can be daunting and therefore takes time to ensure clients fully understand matters.
Why you love what you do
Poppi enjoys assisting our clients with resolving their disputes and achieving the best outcome possible. Poppi hopes that her instruction will provide clients with a sense of relief and will ensure they are understanding of the issues in dispute, procedural points and how she can help. She also enjoys the variation of instructions she receives.
Personal interests
In her spare time, Poppi enjoys travelling to new places (with her favourite place currently being Iceland) and spending time with family and friends. She also regularly attends the gym, and specifically, attends spin sessions and events.
