She has also represented South Yorkshire Police in a number of applications for warrants for further detention during murder investigations.
Significant Cases

Jasmine Harrison works on a broad range of family law cases.

What might influence the timescales of the services Jasmine offers?
Jasmine would normally expect to arrange a preliminary conference with your client within 7 days of first contact from you. After that, despite our best intentions, we can’t always control timescales or the amount of time we spend on a case. These can be affected by factors such as urgency; complexity; your own (or your client’s) availability; Jasmine’s availability and that of any third parties; the volume of documents she needs to review or must request; and the court’s availability.
Can you have confidence in Jasmine’s work?
She is regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
