She deals with all aspects of family law, including divorce and children matters, and specialises in resolving financial issues when a relationship ends. She has considerable experience in more complex family cases, such as when extended family members are involved in proceedings due to them having a financial interest in the couple’s matrimonial property.

Donna is a member of Resolution and therefore follows their code of practice of promoting constructive and non-confrontational ways to separation and minimising the impact of the relationship breakdown on the children.
