Sarah has 15 years’ experience of working in dispute resolution and was called to the Jersey Bar in November 2013. Prior to establishing Castle Chambers, she worked at Bedell Cristin for many years. She very regularly appears in the Magistrate's, Petty Debts and Royal Courts and is accredited to appear before the Mental Health Review Tribunal.
Sarah represents clients in a range of matters and has experience of a wide variety of personal and commercial dispute resolution, advising both plaintiffs and defendants. She specialises in criminal law, personal injury, family law and has a keen interest in mental health which touches on many aspects of her work.
Sarah has worked on a full range of personal injury and clinical negligence cases, including claims where damages exceeded £1 million. She has experience of bringing judicial review proceedings with regard to deportation and asylum, and represents clients who are facing extradition proceedings.
Sarah has recently had success in defending clients who faced allegations of a serious sexual nature and drug importation charges, resulting in their acquittal and assisted in the acquittal of a defendant charged with an alleged $20 billion fraud. She can provide assistance at all stages of the criminal justice process, from the Police Station to the appeal courts.
Sarah will guide an individual through the judicial process, advising them so as to enable them to make the right choices in order to resolve the situation they find themselves in. In doing so, she adopts a sincere and supportive approach and with significant local knowledge she can also provide direction to other professionals when required. Sarah has recently obtained CPCAB L2 Awards for Introduction to Counselling Skills and Introduction to Substance Misuse.
When Sarah is not working she can be found enjoying everything that this beautiful Island has to offer, drinking coffee in the gym and taking alpacas for a walk or showing cows!
