A lawyer with great forensic ability, Isabelle is detail-oriented and runs rings around witnesses if they try to lie. She is devastating in cross-examination in that context.
Wonderfully experienced and really very good in complex care cases. She asks questions in a simple, gentle manner, and is hugely effective in cross-examination.
She is approachable and gets on with clients and professionals alike.
