Gina works in our Mental Health Law department and specialises in representing deaf Mental Health patients.
Qualifying as a Solicitor in August 2011, Gina now has over 10 years of experience in the law. Gina became an accredited member of the Law Society Mental Health Panel in August 2012.
She joined Youngs Law in 2021 and is based out of our Liverpool Office.
Gina has achieved British Sign Language (BSL) Level 6 and is passionate about raising deaf awareness. She continues to be passionate about representing D/deaf mental health patients. She says,
“I feel that D/deaf Mental Health patients are at a disadvantage to hearing Mental Health Patients due to the lack of community accommodation and support that is available to them and that can sufficiently meet their communication needs as well as their mental health needs. This is why she believes it is vital to examine the way in which the dead community can be suitably supported with legal processes.”
She was pleased following a decade of research the Ministry of Justice announced that there are no barriers to deaf people serving as jurors when they work with BSL interpreters. Gina says,
“ I think this decision is an important step in achieving equality within the dead community, but it also contributes to a fairer justice system”
In her spare time, Gina is a busy mother of two children and her family tries to visit Spain as much as they can.
