"I am a chartered legal executive having qualified in 2009. I am a major trauma case handler and I form part of a team supporting clients who have suffered life changing injuries following an accident that was not their fault. ”
I have experience in supporting on brain injury, significant polytrauma, spinal injury and amputation cases.
I have a passion for helping clients achieve the best possible recovery. I am dedicated to my clients; an active listener and I have great empathy. I am committed to helping facilitate access to early treatment and achieving outstanding results in relation to the ultimate settlement.
