Career
I joined Morrish Solicitors in May 2009 following their takeover of a smaller medical negligence department at another firm. I am a Legal Advisor in the medical negligence department based in the Bradford office.
With over 25 years’ experience working in a legal environment, 15 years of which have been specialising in medical negligence, I have dealt with a wide range of cases.
I am the main point of contact at our Bradford office; we are the only law firm in the BD postcode area to hold a Legal Aid contract to assist clients pursuing medical negligence claims.
My role within the department is to take initial instructions and advise all new medical negligence clients who would like to discuss a potential claim. This includes reviewing medical records, inquest documents/recording, drafting letters of complaint on clients’ behalf and reviewing the responses with the Medical Negligence Panel. I also arrange the funding of cases, which includes setting up the “no win, no fee” agreements.
Greatest Professional Achievement
Working my way up through the department to becoming a Legal Advisor and being the first person people speak to when they want to pursue a claim for medical negligence. I pride myself on being approachable and understanding, putting the client at ease when discussing what can be a very upsetting and painful experience.
Client Feedback
“Professional services throughout from everyone whom I had contact with.”
“You are amazing and prompt. You don’t give up and keep fighting for the client.”
“We felt we were in good hands from the start of the process.”
Interests
I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, Billy and Sophie. I am also an avid supporter of Liverpool FC and like walking and fair-weather camping!
