About Victoria
Victoria creates order in her clients’ personal and financial affairs.
She advises on how to plan for the future, so clients can have peace of mind knowing their assets, money and legacy are protected and will go where and to the people they choose. This includes writing and updating wills, putting lasting powers of attorney (LPA) in place and advising clients on how to protect their wealth, for both them and their family.
Victoria is a full member of
Solicitors for the Elderly, which means she puts people at their ease, explains things in clear, easy to understand terms, and is aware of the health and social problems clients may be facing.
She is also an associated member of the
Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners, which specialises in helping families to make wise decisions with a view to future inheritance tax liabilities and succession planning.
Victoria’s career
Qualifying as a solicitor in 2003, Victoria has spent her career specialising in private client and family law. She joined Horsey Lightly in 2004 and, after a short career break to start and focus on her young family, returned in 2017, continuing to offer sensitive and practical support to clients old and new. Victoria is a popular and much valued asset within the team and with her clients.

Life beyond the office
When she can tear herself away from her family and friends, Victoria is a veritable bookworm.
