Why did you choose to specialise in personal
injury?
My training was based on personal injury and medical
negligence and I quickly forged an empathy with my clients. At the
same time I forged links with union clients and with trade union
movements generally. It was the area that most interested me, so
after qualifying I was able to concentrate on personal injury and
recovering damages for injured clients.
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Settling my first spinal injury case for £1.6million
within two years of the accident.
What do you feel most passionate about within your
working life?
Making sure I give a first class service to my
clients.
What do you feel most passionate about within your home
life?
My family.
