I have dealt with Personal Injury matters for over 15 years. I regularly assist clients with road traffic accident claims, work place accidents, slip/trip claims and public liability claims, criminal injury compensation claims, industrial disease claims and medical/clinical negligence claims. I have great knowledge in using the Ministry of Justice Claims Portal for claims under the value of £25,000.00 and also have vast experience in dealing with higher value claims meaning I can assist clients with Fast Track and Multi-Track Claims. I can also assist clients with the new Intermediate-Track Claims. I can also assist clients with the Official Injury Claims Portal for Small Claims road traffic accident claims.

I can also offer advice and assist clients in general Civil Litigation matters such as boundary disputes, neighbour disputes and debt recovery.

I can also assist clients with Private Housing matters and I can act on behalf of landlords or tenants/occupiers in such matters in England and in Wales. I am also experienced in dealing with the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 for Private Housing matters in Wales since 1st December 2023.

I am also a fluent Welsh Speaker and can deal with the matter through the medium of Welsh.
