"I am very happy to be part of respected team who act for people who have suffered a head or brain injury as a result of an accident.

Our clients have usually suffered a life changing injury and so it is a very frightening and uncertain time for them and their families following the accident. I hope to be able to go some way towards helping our clients feel re-assured and help them to move on with their lives, as well as securing the compensation they deserve."
