He has vast experience of dealing with all manner of injury claims over the last 26 years although he has specialised in the last few years in catastrophic and serious injury claims involving brain injuries or multiple trauma as well as those involving fatalities.

He is calm and unflappable in the face of difficulties in litigation and is mentally very quick, having the ability to see the key issues in a case swiftly.

He has been instructed in several difficult fatal cases involving complex issues relating to the costs of replacement care for minors.
