From 1999 to 2004 she sat as a part-time Recorder, one of only a few female solicitor appointments to have ever been made.

Her career and cases regularly feature in the local and national media. A personal profile of her has appeared in the Times and she was chosen as one of Cosmopolitan's 100 most powerful women! In March 2006 she was featured in Harpers Bazaar as ‘Freedom Fighter’ for her work with families unjustly accused of child abuse.

In 2009, she was listed in The Lawyer Magazine's Top 100 lawyers of 2008 for her work as a campaigner after she achieved success for the patients and families of patients who caught C Diff at the Maidstone Hospital, as well as achieving recognition for her work on the cases of 15 young women who were sexually abused by a nurse at a London anorexia clinic. The article also noted her work in bringing a group action against a surgeon who performed 'botched' cosmetic surgery whilst suspended by the GMC.
