Why Medical Negligence? The work is challenging but we are committed to fighting for justice and providing an exceptional, client-focused service to bereaved families and injured persons.  I received a letter from a client that epitomises my desire to do the very best I can for my clients, “I can't thank you enough for all the hard work that you put in for us to get the closure that we needed. You're a star. Too emotional to say anymore but thank you from the bottom of my heart” – that’s what makes the job so special for me.
