Behind every successful claim, every court hearing, and every compensation awarded, is a team of dedicated and compassionate professionals who work tirelessly to help patients seek the justice for dental negligence they deserve. They are the driving force, the reason behind our continued success, the secret sauce to our law firm – Meet the Team at The Dental Law Partnership!
As it is “National Superhero Day” on the 28th of April we wanted to take the opportunity to pay tribute to all our employees who are the real-life heroes, whose expertise ensure anyone in England and Wales has access to justice and legal representation if they become victims of dental negligence.
The Extraordinary Expertise of Our Team
Our Associate Solicitor Tim Armitage has been an integral part of The Dental Law Partnership family since 2005, during his career he has helped hundreds of clients successfully claim compensation. He recently helped Sandra Shaw from Wolverhampton, secure £6,500 in compensation in an out-of-court settlement, after she experienced failures in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment execution of implants at multiple of her teeth. After further analysis of her dental records Tim and the team found numerous failings in the care she received. Tim is one of DLP’s longest serving employees and is well appointed to handle a vast range of dental negligence claims, as well as experience in handling clinical negligence and personal injury claims.
Nicholas Hampson first joined our team as a paralegal in 2015 and has since worked his way up to become a qualified solicitor, specialising in dental negligence claims. Nick recently helped award Daniel Love from Exeter £5,000 in compensation after his dentist failed to diagnose and treat tooth decay and suffered years of mistreatments such as root canals and tooth extractions. Nicholas said: “The distress and pain our client has experienced was completely unnecessary. If the dentist involved had provided more satisfactory treatment, his problems could have been avoided.”
Stephanie Neden-King works as a Senior Solicitor, she joined DLP in May 2019 and has brought a wealth of experience to our legal team in the past 6 years. Recently, Steph helped a teenager left in agony for years, after “a botched dental procedure left me unable to get out of bed or eat properly for years”, Skye Unsworth suffered undiagnosed tooth decay and poor dental treatment since the age of 12, with the help of Stephanie and the team she was awarded £9,000 in an out-of-court settlement.
Joining the team in 2017 as a Junior Legal Secretary, Olivia Mounsey has worked her way up to become a trainee legal Executive working to improve the lives of clients seeking justice for their dental suffering. A recent client, Mirko Tocco worked closely with Olivia and was recently awarded £6,000 by his former dentist after substandard composite bonding led to chips, fractures and gum inflammation.
Every client’s story of dental negligence is unique, and each is important to us. We have settled claims over the past 25 years for restorative dental errors, undiagnosed tooth decay, poor orthodontic treatment, tooth extraction errors, the list goes on.
