With a sharp eye for detail he’s proven himself on countless occasions to be a real asset to the men and women he has assisted, in divorce, finance and child matters. He has a proven track record in assisting people who represent themselves both in the court room and outside it, using the innovate, proven and reliable ways Family Law Assistance has road tested over the years.

His work also includes working with blue chip companies to identify performance issues across large corporations, root cause analysis, requirements engineering and also as a business analyst for a several organisations.
He has also helped separated parents for a Welsh-based parenting charity, being an advocate of shared parenting and understanding the challenges men and women face in child, divorce and other family law matters. Over the years he has written a large body of blog posts, been interviewed in podcasts and regularly produces `explainer’ videos both on YouTube and his TikTok channel (which has over 20.000 followers and videos, some of which have been viewed half a million times).
