My mother was a doctor. She was from Nebraska USA and for much of her working life she was the village doctor in Elm, Cambridgeshire where we lived. She later went into cancer research and set up cervical cancer screening programmes.

I have always been interested in medical cases. I have many contacts and support to assist with medical issues: my wife is a medico legal researcher. One of my step daughters is a neurosurgical registrar and another is training to be a nurse at UEA. We have an extensive medical library at home. I have taken on (and won) medical cases involving a wide range of problems.

I am a Senior Litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

I have a special interest in head injury cases because another of my step-daughters suffered horrendous injuries as a result of a medical accident when she was aged five. She is now seriously physically and mentally disabled. I have therefore had personal experience in dealing with all the bureaucratic, educational and problems in achieving appropriate levels of medical treatment for someone with severe disabilities.

I have written two books for the Consumers Association and I am a frequent contributor of articles to legal periodicals and occasionally to national newspapers. I broadcast regularly on legal matters on BBC Radio Norfolk. I am on the Council of the Law Society for England and Wales (representing solicitors in Norfolk where I live). I am also a parish council member of the Standards Committee on the North Norfolk District Council.

And I am ready to use my experience to help with your case!
