About Donna

Donna has specialised in the law relating to children for over 30 years. She regularly advises and represents children, parents, local authorities and other family members in care proceedings, adoption proceedings, deprivation of liberty, and secure accommodation applications, as well as in private law proceedings, including disputes over where a child should live, contact arrangements or other parenting disagreements.

Donna has a clear but empathetic approach with clients. In addition, the extent of her experience means that she is able to support and assist parties through the complexities of court proceedings which takes some of the inevitable stress away.

Donna has been a member of the Law Society’s specialist Children Law Accreditation Scheme since 1996, and is also the legal representative on the Local Family Justice Board which aims to improve efficiencies in the Family Justice system. Donna is a longstanding member of Child Concern whose objectives are to work to increase knowledge and practice in Children’s Law.

Before joining McAlister Family Law, Donna worked as a solicitor for a local authority in child care and mental health law and has since acted on behalf of eight local authorities in the North West area. Donna was formerly a legal member of a local Adoption Panel and was responsible for multi-disciplinary training for social workers, foster carers, lawyers, police officers, medical and other professionals working in the field of child protection. She brings this expertise to bear to assist other parties in understanding local authorities procedures and the support that is available to families.
