About Me

I first joined the Dental Law Partnership as a paralegal in 2015 as part of the Disclosure team. Since then, I’ve received a training contract through DLP and qualified as a solicitor in 2020. As I have worked for the team for several years, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the legal industry, which makes me well placed to help you with your dental negligence claim.

When I’m not working for my clients, my main hobbies are sport and music. I enjoy going to music gigs and playing guitar, and I also like football (both playing and watching). Yoga is another passion of mine.

As a dental negligence solicitor, I aim to improve the lives of my clients and seek justice when they have suffered from dental negligence.

Experience

I have gained a lot of my experience through my work at the Dental Law Partnership. I first started as a paralegal in 2015, before being promoted to trainee solicitor in 2018. In 2020, I successfully completed my training and I have been working as a dental solicitor since then.

Before joining the Dental Law Partnership, I worked briefly for a law firm in Manchester – before that, I worked briefly in the commercial property conveyancing sector. However, law is my passion, and I aim to increase my experience the more I work for the company.

I am also SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) regulated.

Cases

Chloe Glew – The Dental Law Partnership took on Mrs Glew’s case in 2019 after two dentists failed to diagnose and treat tooth decay. The claimant also suffered from poor dental treatment, as badly placed fillings and substandard root canal treatment were administered to her over a period of 14 years. Because of this, Mrs Glew had to pay for expensive restorative treatment with another dentist, as well as suffering from severe pain. The case was settled in 2023, with the claimant receiving £23,000 in compensation.

Katherine Lake – Ms Lake suffered from an unnecessary tooth extraction which left her with permanent mouth issues as a result. The Dental Law Partnership investigated the case in 2018 and found that the tooth did not need to be removed, leading to complications with Ms Lake’s mental and physical health. Whilst the defendants did not admit liability, an out-of-court settlement was reached in 2022 for £19,000.

Over the last 10 years, we’ve seen a real surge in patients choosing to travel abroad for dental treatment. Many drawn in by the promise of lower costs, shorter wait times, and the appeal of combining healthcare with a holiday. Dental Law deep dive into this topic here.

According to Google search data, online searches for “tooth pain” have increased by a staggering 460% since June 2010, with a growing number of people turning to the internet not just for advice, but in a desperate attempt to tackle the lack of dental services in this country themselves.
