ABOUT

Aims & Objectives:
  • In her private practice in Jamaica, Deniece aims to be a voice to the voiceless, an advocate for those who cannot do it for themselves and to be that trusted advisor to guide persons through their important and sometimes life-changing matters. 
  • Deniece also provides legal consulting for the Jamaican diaspora, particularly in the United Kingdom. This involves providing and connecting Jamaicans living overseas who desire to conduct business in Jamaica with legal services and professionals. It can be difficult to conduct business from abroad and she intends to bridge the gap and make the link between their place of residence and the destination of their goals and dreams.
