Stacy is an experienced solicitor, having been qualified since October 2004. Throughout her career, Stacy has specialised in family law and, in particular, matters concerning children law.  

Stacy is a member of the Law Society Children Law Accreditation Scheme and specialises in representing children in both public and private law proceedings, either through their appointed guardian or by representing them directly, throughout the North West of England. 

She is also a High Court Advocate, holding the Higher Rights of Audience Certificate. This enables her to represent children and clients in complex and sensitive cases, including Deprivation of Liberty Orders and applications under the Inherent Jurisdiction.

Stacy successfully applied to be a Deputy District Judge in 2024 and regularly sits alongside her family law practice. 

She strives to achieve the best outcome for her clients by working in collaboration with other parties and, when necessary, presenting their case vigorously through the courts.

At Stacy’s previous firm she was part of the team who won Manchester Law Society’s Family Law Firm of the Year in 2020 and the Talk of Manchester Awards in 2023.

Stacy is strongly committed to social responsibility, raising significant funds for charities through fundraising, sponsorship, and events, both in work and her personal time, while also supporting free legal advice clinics linked to her family law work.
