About Me

I joined the Dental Law Partnership in 2005, which makes me one of the longest serving employees in the business at the moment. 

I have 19 years of experience working within the legal field and my two main practice areas are clinical negligence and personal injury. When working for the Dental Law Partnership, I focus my efforts on dental negligence claims within England and Wales. I have learned a great deal about the legal profession during my time at the company, and I am very passionate about my work.

Experience

As one of the longest serving employees of the Dental Law Partnership, I have gained lots of hands-on experience when working with my clients. Since starting, I have worked my way up to the position of associate solicitor, and my unique skill set has been developed over the course of my time here.

I have a particular interest in cases involving nerve damage during dental treatment and mismanagement of periodontal disease, and I also have a history of handling complex dental negligence claims. However, I am fully trained in all areas of the dental legal field, so I should be able to help you, regardless of your situation.

Qualifications

As a trained associate solicitor, I have completed a law degree. I have also been admitted to the roll of solicitors of England and Wales.

I am SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) regulated, and I was admitted to the organisation as a solicitor in 2007.

Cases

During my career at the Dental Law Partnership, I have worked on many notable cases. Two of my most recent cases that stand out are:

  • Mr Grundy – In 2022, Mr Grundy was awarded £10,500 compensation from his former dentist after a dental negligence claim was brought forward by the Dental Law Partnership. The claimant underwent years of needless treatment as a teenager after a poor dental consultation, which led to further issues developing. The distress involved was entirely unnecessary, so the claimant and his mother were understandably happy to reach an out-of-court settlement of £10,500.

 

If you’d like to see if I can help you with your dental malpractice claim, please contact our team on 0800 152 2038.

Is Nerve Damage Permanent Following Dental Negligence?

If you've experienced nerve damage as a result of dental negligence, you'll likely find yourself wondering, 'Is nerve damage permanent?' It's a tricky question to answer, as nerve damage after dental work can be both temporary and permanent, depending on the extent of your dental injury and the nerve that has been affected.
