Work Areas
Since qualifying as a solicitor in November 1993, I have dealt with most types of personal injury claim.
Some of my recent cases and clients have included the following:
- An accident on a package holiday in Turkey
- A production line worker who developed a cumulative back injury at a factory in Birmingham
- Psychological and burn injuries caused by an electric shock at work
- A cyclist in London, whose elbow was dislocated after his bicycle wheel went down a pothole in the road
- Several construction site accidents in London
- A pavement tripping claim in Leamington Spa
- An industrial injury in Wales, involving a severed index finger
- A back injury claim for an excavator driver in Bristol, who fell at work
- A Romanian in London, with a hand injury from his work on a building site
- Several council compensation claims in Birmingham
Client Locations
Due to the power of the Internet, the majority of my clients are from outside my local area of South East Hampshire.
As I deal mainly with workplace injury claims, many of my clients are concentrated in industrialised areas of the UK, such as Birmingham, Bristol, London, Southampton and Swindon.
I am assisting several Polish and Romanian workers, injured in London. Most people would be surprised at the bad working conditions faced by many Poles and Romanians in London and the UK generally, despite the extensive health and safety legislation.
I aim to meet most of my clients personally. However on occasions this is not possible. If so then I will decline instructions and suggest that the new caller engages an injury claim lawyer in their locality instead.
Brief Biography
After completing my Articles (or 2-year legal training contract) at a law firm in Southampton, I was admitted to the roll of solicitors on 21 November 1993.
I then moved to the Midlands and trained as a specialist personal injury lawyer at big legal practices in Nottingham and Birmingham. There I dealt with many claims on behalf of Trade Unions, particularly back injury compensation claims. I returned to Hampshire in Summer 2003.
I am a past vice-chairman of Birmingham Sole Practitioners Group and a current council member of Hampshire Incorporated Law Society.
My office is in Gosport, Hampshire, being between Portsmouth and Southampton.
Independent solicitor
I set up as an independent personal injury solicitor in July 2000.
In contrast to the large law firms where I worked previously, I now run a comparatively small caseload. This means that I aim to give each client my full, personal attention.
At the end of each case, I always ask my client for feedback. This takes the form of a feedback questionnaire.

Legal costs and professional memberships
I run most of my claims on a No Win No Fee basis, using the Law Society's standard model conditional fee agreement.
My legal practice is accredited with Lexcel, the Law Society's quality mark for practice management.
I am a member of APIL, the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, a Council Member and Director of Hampshire Incorporated Law Society, and current serving chairman of HILS website and mentoring sub-committees.
This website is hosted by Webgloss Web Design, web designers in Hampshire, UK.
Foreign Clients
I am currently acting for several clients from Moldova, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Portugal and Slovakia, who were injured at work in the UK.
I find that most Eastern European clients, particularly Romanians in London, fear their lawyer will be expensive. Often they find it surprising that my accident claim advice is free, and I receive payment at the end of the compensation claim from the opposing insurance company.

Invariably the dirty and dangerous jobs in the UK are given to migrant workers. Many of them do not have the correct papers to work here legally, and so they are often reluctant to assert their rights at work.
