Felicia graduated with both a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce (International Business & Commercial Law) from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. After spending almost a decade in New Zealand, she left greener pastures and returned home in hope that she could use her legal skills to make a difference here.
The vast majority of Felicia’s experience has been in Civil and Commercial Dispute Resolution. She has, inter alia, assisted in representing clients in contractual disputes, employment matters as well as tortious claims. Felicia also practises Family Law, mostly dealing with issues of divorce, custody, care & control of children, maintenance and division of matrimonial assets. She believes that to resolve any dispute, it is important to choose your battles wisely and prefers to help save clients time and costs by practising in a less acrimonious manner as far as possible.
Felicia is also experienced in a range of Estate Matters, including drafting of Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney, as well as applications for Grant of Probate and Letters of Administration.
Lastly, Felicia’s sense of justice has led her to practise Criminal Law as well and she has assisted in affording representation to accused persons who pleaded guilty or decided to claim trial.
