Tell us about yourself
I am a solicitor. I joined John Hodge Solicitors in 1994 as a trainee solicitor and qualified in 1996. I initially worked in many areas of law but predominantly Personal Injury Litigation and Property. In 2004 I became a Partner.
What is your specialist area of law?
I have specialised in Accident/Personal Injury claims since 1996 whilst retaining an interest in Property and Conveyancing.
What do you offer clients of John Hodge Solicitors?
My time; I will spend time with my clients and regularly visit clients at their homes speaking to them to ensure they understand what could happen, making sure I understand what their needs and wishes are.
Once this is established I can ensure the end result is the best one to suit the client. I am relentless in my determination to secure the best possible results.
Do you belong to any Panels or Associations which show you have reached a notable level of expertise and experience in your specialist area of law?
I belong to the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) which is a not for profit organisation that campaigns for the rights of injured people. Membership is subject to meeting strict professional criteria which is constantly monitored.
What do you think makes a good lawyer?
A desire to ensure clients’ needs and wishes are put before anything or anyone else.
A Message for clients:
“We design our services around the needs and wishes of our clients; looking at what services clients want and how we can provide those services at the right price and offer the very best value for money.”
Is there anything else you’d like to say?
It is important to us all at John Hodge Solicitors to demonstrate that we can provide a quality service at a competitive price. I am especially proud that our Accident Claims service has kept pace with the very competitive market and continued to provide a quality client focused service with the best deal available in our “nothing to pay win or lose guarantee”. We can do this because we refuse to pay referral fees to the TV marketing companies and rely on referrals from our own satisfied clients.
