About Tim

I represent clients who have suffered life-changing injuries through all different types of accident including road traffic collisions, accidents at work, public liability as well as others. I have acted on behalf of clients who have sustained a variety of injuries including polytrauma (orthopaedic), brain injury, spinal injury and pain management disorders.

I always strive to ensure my clients receive the best care and support from the outset as I recognise that as well as sustaining a life-changing injury, the whole claim process itself can be rather daunting. I also focus on my clients receiving the appropriate rehabilitation as soon as possible in order to aid recovery, be it through case management or utilising the available statutory services.

I studied Law at the University of Essex before going on to complete my Legal Practice Course at the University of Law, Guildford. I worked as a Paralegal in a busy, local, personal injury firm for 18 months following completion of my LPC before securing a Training Contract as an in-house Trainee at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. After qualifying as a solicitor in August 2013, I decided that I wanted to return to personal injury and I have been solely representing injured persons ever since.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and my young daughter and I am an avid DIYer. I am also a keen supporter of Tottenham Hotspur football club.

I am a trained Boccia leader and try to get down to Headway Surrey as much as possible to play this with the service users.
