Prior to joining Simon Bethel Solicitors in 2013, Lara worked in immigration and residential conveyancing firms in and around London. She has worked closely with barristers in several cases at the Crown Court, some of which generated interest from the media, including a serious case of fraud/forgery which involved several co-defendants and was reported on BBC news on 26th January 2018.

Lara’s approach is to work closely with her clients to meet their expectation and is very proactive, diligent, and helpful. One client described Lara as “extremely professional and she takes special time out from her busy schedule to look after my case.” Another commented: “…simply I couldn’t have asked for better.   Lara’s professional approach, understanding nature and support made arguably one of the most traumatic days in my life a great deal easier.”
