I am the face and mind behind “Life Sentence.” Life Sentence is an entity I have created to share my legal knowledge and opinion gained through my education, and work experience as a lawyer. My areas of expertise lie within family law and general practice. I obtained a Bachelor’s of Law (LLB) and Bachelor of Social Sciences (Bsoc.Sci) majoring in Psychology, through The University of Waikato in New Zealand. I am currently employed by Dewhirst Law, Whanganui, as a Solicitor. This is primarily a place for me to log posts and articles about laws that affect thousands of everyday people as they reach different stages and experiences throughout their life - the good, and the bad. Whether it be Marriage, Separation, Parenting, Crime, or handling internal affairs such as Wills - this is the place to find important information to help protect you, your assets and your loved ones. Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. https://life-sentence-blog.squarespace.com/forms daily 0.75 2022-01-19 https://life-sentence-blog.squarespace.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-04-03 https://life-sentence-blog.squarespace.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2024-04-03 https://life-sentence-blog.squarespace.com/family daily 0.75 2022-11-05 https://life-sentence-blog.squarespace.com/family/familyviolence-ylaw6722 monthly 0.5 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6018ddc33f99761859b28ad6/220437da-ca70-41be-95b9-307e5d4976b2/protection+order.jpg Family - Family Violence - PROTECTION ORDERS Are you a victim of family violence, or know someone who may need help?
