Nadine Matheson
In a perfect world Nadine Matheson would be a world-class gamer, have
her own talk show and be in charge of DC Studios. Instead, she qualified as a
solicitor way back in 2006, specialises in criminal law and trains the baby
lawyers. She spends far too much time explaining to people that lawyers are not
allowed to shout “objection!” in UK courts.
Nadine always wanted to be a lawyer but also knew that one day she would
write a book. She was born in south-east London and as a Crystal Palace
supporter she is ‘south London and proud.’ She remains convinced that she will
end up on Oprah’s book club and will have her name on the front of a comic
book.
Nadine is also a bit rubbish at recognising famous people which explains why she spent over five minutes talking to a man on the street before realising that she was talking to Gary Oldman.
