About

I have been a solicitor since 1992 specialising in personal injury and dispute resolution. I am based in Bournemouth. In appropriate cases I will act for clients on a conditional fee (“no win no fee”) basis but I do not chase ambulances or pay referral fees.

I always recommend that anybody who has insurance to cover their legal expenses does not accept the insurer’s recommended solicitor without seeking advice on whether this is the best way forward for them. Often the recommended solicitor will not be local and will have paid a referral fee.

Insurers complain about a compensation culture and have the ear of the Government as a result of which it is becoming harder for accident victims to get the compensation they deserve. However, at the same time, insurers are paying compensation to people without requiring any proof of injury and receiving large referral fees. Confused?

My role is to fight for the accident victim to maximise the compensation they receive. No smoke and mirrors.

My blog is intended to inform, ask questions and sometimes to entertain without trivialising the pain and suffering of accident victims.
