After qualifying from Liverpool John Moores University as an Industrial Electronics engineer the thought of a large forehead and leather patches on the sleeves of my jacket made me decide on a career change

I began my legal career with Deacon Goldrein Green Solicitors in 1987 and during my 5 year employment covered all aspects of the law in 1992. I then joined Paul Rooney Solicitors where I specialised in Personal Injury law. There I remained until May 1998 when I joined LLW with the brief to develop the firm's RTA practice.

After humble beginnings of myself and the cat there are now 25 members of staff in my department and the team is a significant contributor to the firm's overall profit.

On a personal note I am married with two young children and devote all my spare time to sport either watching it or playing it and of course the obligatory fan of Liverpool Football Club.
