Debbie started her legal career working as a criminal defence and family lawyer. Prior to that she devoted her time to raising her three daughters and started studying  for a law degree when her youngest was four years old.

She joined Pattinson & Brewer in September 2006.

During her time here she has specialised in Police Misconduct and personal injury work. She also pursues claims on behalf of members of Equity.

When not in the office Debbie enjoys spending time with family, live music, the theatre and long challenging walks (especially those which finish at a pub)
