He continues to act for injured motorists, pedestrians and employees and has experience in recovering all forms of losses and expenses across a broad range of incidents, with a focus on implementing rehabilitation and the earliest possible recovery of loss of earnings, damaged property and equipment.

Thank you again for all your help and patience with this claim. You’ve made a difficult process, more bearable, being professional but friendly and kindly explaining the legal aspects in an understandable way.
