About me

As a certified Notary Public based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, I have decades of legal experience across family and employment law. On graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1987, I worked at various law firms for fifteen years. Then, in 2002, I opened the Honley Law Practice in my local village.

 

Ten years later, I achieved my notarial qualification, which would allow me to certify documents for use anywhere in the world. I officially retired from being a solicitor in 2022; however, I continue to work as an independent notary from my home in Honley. Today, I offer my services around the Holme Valley and beyond, including Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Almondbury, Kirkheaton, Gawthorpe, Longley, Dewsbury, Batley, Halifax, Bradford, Oldham, and Stockport. I also provide both video and mobile services for clients even further afield.

​

Outside work, I live with my wife and enjoy spending time with my two adult daughters and their families. I enjoy walking, running, sailing, gardening, playing the classical guitar and visiting preserved steam railways and canals. Not to mention training Roxy, our two-year-old German Shepherd rescue dog.
