Marie has been working in law since 2007. From the beginning, Marie has worked with top operators including David Tait KC in Brisbane, and Len Andersen KC in Dunedin, past president of the New Zealand Criminal Bar Association. More recently, Marie worked with her Honour Judge Maria Pecotic, and has taken over Verus Chambers from her.

Since commencing practice Marie has represented people charged with a wide range of offences ranging from first time offenders seeking diversion, to people facing the most serious charges including methamphetamine and murder. She retrained in law (2011-13) having worked in marketing and business strategy, including for PwC. She has a thorough understanding of financial and commercial transactions which is a strong advantage in defending allegations of organised crime, money laundering, and importation. Marie is pragmatic and strong in court. She leaves no stone unturned in the fight to secure for you the best possible outcome.

An instructing solicitor is required when engaging the services of a barrister. However, you may contact Marie directly in the first instance, and she will help you make the appropriate arrangements.
