Since qualifying as a solicitor in 2023, Cally has gained extensive experience as an advocate both in the Youth Court and the Magistrates’ Court. Her experience as an advocate provides her with invaluable practical knowledge and a strategic mindset that directly influences her approach to litigation in the Youth Court, Magistrates’ Court and the Crown Court.

“I was very fortunate to bump into solicitor Cally Gormally while scoping out the magistrates court ahead of a hearing for a civil case being brought against me by the police. I had originally planned to represent myself as it has been hard for me trust solicitors, but I am so grateful to have worked with Cally from Hodge Jones & Allen. She was helpful, professional and efficient from the beginning, working very quickly within a short time frame. Cally has been honest and most importantly, empathetic and understanding of my situation. The case against me was withdrawn – I couldn’t have hoped for a better result. Thank you Cally!”
