I joined the specialist Medical Negligence team at Oliver & Co Solicitors in 2012. For both personal and professional reasons, I have always had a keen enthusiasm for this particular area of the law and so it seemed a natural choice for me to specialise in.

Understandably, when you put your trust in healthcare professionals and thereafter fall victim to medical negligence it can be an extremely distressing experience for both you and your family. The consequences of which can have a detrimental effect on all aspects your life, both physically and emotionally.

I fully appreciate that deciding to pursue a claim for medical negligence is not an easy decision to make. When you’ve been let down by one professional, putting your trust in another can be a daunting process.

I strive to make you feel at ease from the first contact as I understand how difficult it is to discuss very personal, and often traumatic, details of your treatment. I pride myself on being able to provide continued support, guidance and reassurance throughout the lifetime of your claim.

Throughout my career, I have dealt with a wide variety of claims covering many areas of clinical negligence. This has allowed me to build up a bank of tried and tested medical experts. In addition, our Head of Department, Linda Schermer, is a dual qualified doctor and solicitor. Linda can provide in-house medical expertise throughout the lifetime of your claim and this is extremely rare amongst solicitor’s firms throughout the country.

I am dedicated to guiding you through every stage of the claim to ensure the process is as stress-free as possible, whilst dedicating myself to helping you find the answers you deserve and achieving the best result in terms of compensation.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, spending time with friends, and travelling.
