I specialise in personal injury law and work in the Serious Injury team, representing people who have sustained life changing injuries in accidents. I act for people who have sustained the most catastrophic injuries including severe brain and spinal cord injuries and amputations. My primary goal for each of my clients is to get them the support and rehabilitation they need to return, as far as possible, to the life they had before the accident. I also undertake a lot of fatal accident work, supporting the families of those who have lost their lives through accidents to find answers and security for their futures. I have always enjoyed working with people and I love meeting my clients, getting to know them and helping them through what is an extremely emotional and stressful time. The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping to ensure the needs of my clients are met at the time when they need it most.
