She offers enviable experience in possession claims, particularly as they relate to Article 8 and public law, and is adept at handling cases at the intersection of community care and housing law. She is also well versed in handling antisocial behaviour claims and attracts praise for her ability to work with vulnerable clients.
Strengths

She is really good at weaving magic in a case that looks like it is going to fall flat on its face; her advocacy is very powerful, punchy and she builds good rapport with judges.
Marina is an experienced practitioner. She is quite brilliant with clients and is adept at managing expectations at an early stage, highlighting the challenges ahead and the strengths of each matter.
