Lauren Hutton

Crime Paralegal
Carlisle

Summary

With a background in healthcare and the legal sector, I bring a unique combination of compassion, attention to detail and experience working closely with vulnerable individuals facing complex challenges.


My previous roles have given me extensive experience in delivering sensitive, person-centered care to individuals during stressful and vulnerable times. This has developed my ability to communicate empathetically and remain calm under pressure.


Currently, I navigate complex legal frameworks while advocating for clients’ rights. This has sharpened my skills in interpreting legislation, managing caseloads, and applying statutory provisions.


I am committed to customer-focused service and continuous improvement, demonstrated by my proactive approach to problem-solving and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
