“Annabel Herbert has a very high level of professionalism; she is prompt and emphatic. I felt that behind the process and the procedure she really cared. I felt supported and understood. Her dedication and continuous efforts have been invaluable during this challenging time”
Annabel joined the firm in 2020 and is a Lawyer in the Private Law Children & Domestic Abuse Team.
Prior to this, Annabel worked in the Public Law Team on cases where there was Social Services’ involvement and child protection concerns. She also has experience in other areas of family law including divorce and finance.
After completing the Post Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), she completed the CILEX Diploma in Legal Practice, with a specialism in Family Law.

She also has a particular passion for supporting victims of domestic abuse. She understands how stressful and worrisome family proceedings can often be, so she seeks to provide clients with as much care and support as possible.
