Prior to joining DMH Stallard, Cathryn trained and qualified at Blake Morgan LLP in Oxford.

I chatted to a number of lawyers about the issues I faced when I found myself in a dispute about how the assets in my father’s estate should be split. It was Cathryn who took the time to listen and to guide me through the law and my options in a clear and practical way. Cathryn was contactable, reassuring and ensured that my inheritance was protected so that I could challenge the position being forced upon me. I could not have got through the legal issues I faced and received the settlement I did without Cathryn’s support.

Mrs M

Cathryn is professional, encouraging, empowering, determined, tenacious whilst being polite and friendly. She has brilliant negotiating skills and is wise beyond her years. Cathryn is an excellent lawyer – I cannot fault her.

Ms G

...very professional, efficient and empathetic – it is always a pleasure to deal with her.

Cathryn has excellent problem solving and lateral thinking skills. She had a clear plan of action at each stage of the process. Even when my sister’s difficult behaviour thwarted the plan, Cathryn always had another innovative solution up her sleeve.
