You have completed approximately 35 hours pro bono, which is an amazingly generous achievement. Thank you.

It is wonderful to be working with barristers, such as yourself, that have made pro bono a part of their career and are dedicated to providing access to justice for the most vulnerable. Your generosity and compassion are inspiring.’’
