Kelly Gray

What I do

I am an associate Solicitor within the Childcare department at the Stoke on Trent Office. 

I represent parents involved in childcare proceedings and the pre proceedings (Public Law outline) process. 

I conduct advocacy at court, advise clients on interim Care Orders, Supervision Orders and Special Guardianship Orders. I have acted for clients lacking capacity and therefore taken instructions from the Official Solicitor. 

I routinely represent parents subject to care proceedings, but I have also represented grandparents wishing to make applications within those proceedings. I have advised and assisted clients incarcerated whereby their family Law proceedings have been significantly impacted by their criminal proceedings. 

Qualification year: 

Admitted to the roll of Solicitor on 5th September 2023. 

Supervisor: 

Muctar Johal 

I take a friendly, sincere, professional approach with my clients whilst offering objective, realistic advice on sensitive issues. 

Prior to specialising in Family Law, I worked within the Criminal Law sector including Staffordshire Police as a Police Officer.

I have also worked with diverse groups of ex-offenders providing advice and guidance into education and employment. 

I enjoy running outdoors and going to gym classes. I cherish spending quality time with my two children. I enjoy socialising with friends, shopping and travelling abroad.

I had the support of Kelly Gray through a very awful time in my life. I found her to be very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable she walked me through everything and was very patient with me when I had a wobble I would recommend her services to anyone struggling with family legal issues for sure. Thank you Kelly!!!
