About me
I am a Senior Solicitor at the Dental Law Partnership, having joined the firm in August 2020. I qualified as a solicitor in 1999 and have extensive experience in personal injury law after working in Manchester prior to moving to DLP. During this time, I dealt with a variety of personal injury claims including road traffic accidents, accidents at work and public liability claims.
Moving into dental negligence has allowed me to build on this experience in a specialist area of law. I have handled a variety of dental negligence claims, including cases involving permanent nerve damage following tooth extractions, tooth loss resulting from periodontal disease, the inappropriate extraction of teeth and poorly placed dental implants. My previous experience in personal injury law has provided a strong and valuable foundation for my work in this specialist area and supporting clients through the legal process.
I am SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) regulated.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking my dog, riding my horse and spending time with friends and family. I have also gained a qualification in health coaching and enjoy keeping active.
