APPROACH

Chris has always been drawn to the challenge of navigating complex legal issues whilst advocating for clients. At the same time he is fascinated by the field of medicine and how it impacts individuals and their families. Combining his passion for law with that interest led him naturally to medical negligence where he can use his skills to help those who have been harmed due to medical errors. It is an area where Chris feels he can make a genuine difference to people’s lives, often during the most difficult times they’ll ever face.

Chris supports clients across Hull and East Riding of Yorkshre, South Yorshire and North Yorkshire, as well as the wider county.

  • North Yorkshire - including Harrogate, York, Malton and Scarborough.
  • Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire - including Hull University Teaching Hospital and Bridlington.
  • South Yorkshire - including Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw and Rotherham.
  • North Lincolnshire - including Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole.

Throughout the case Chris and his team were professional and reliable. They kept me informed and created a comfortable environment for me to raise any queries I had. They delivered on all fronts.
