Background
I started my career in law in 1989 and qualified as a Solicitor in 1992. After gaining experience in other areas of law, I began to specialise in personal injury in 1997, and since then I've acted exclusively for claimants, both adults and children, the vast majority of whom have sustained very serious and life-changing injuries.
Throughout my career, I've gained experience across the whole spectrum of personal injury claims, including road traffic collisions, accidents at work, product liability, sporting accidents, and cases involving animals. I have during this time gained decades of experience acting for clients in a variety of road traffic accidents, including acting for motorists, motorcyclists and also pedestrians.
I have a particular specialism in serious orthopaedic injuries of both upper and lower limbs, as well as representing clients who have developed significant psychiatric conditions as a consequence of a traumatic event.
I pride myself on being approachable, down-to-earth, and empathetic with all my clients and their relatives. I'm a keen advocate of early rehabilitation for seriously injured clients, and I'll always look to secure early interim payments to help with immediate financial pressures while your claim progresses.
