About Sue

I am a Consultant Solicitor at Amphlett Lissimore with over 25 years’ experience of cases concerning children, specialising in complex care cases and adoption proceedings.

I represent parents and other family members in care and related proceedings. In Adoption cases, I have represented children, parents, and prospective adopters. I also act in proceedings involving applications for a Special Guardianship Order.

My primary objective is to act in the best interests of the child and their family. I will always listen to you, be honest with you, and treat you with respect. I will support you throughout, ensuring that you fully understand the process and can be confident that your voice will be heard.

I undertake most of my own advocacy in all courts, including the High Court, to ensure that you have the continuity of advice, representation, and support you deserve. Where appropriate, I will also instruct a barrister as well as relevant experts to present the strongest possible case on your behalf.

I am based in Crystal Palace, but work across South London, particularly the London Boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Wandsworth, Lambeth, and Southwark. Until April 2026, I was a Partner and Head of the Children Law department. I have extensive knowledge of all our cases and often act as an advocate for others within the firm where my expertise is required.
