APPROACH

Laura has a friendly and empathetic approach with clients, whilst supporting them through what can be a long, difficult and emotional process.

Laura finds the area medical negligence is really interesting, combining both medicine and the law. It is also rewarding seeking answers for those who are bringing a claim for themselves or a loved one and then seeing how compensation can help them move forward once a claim has settled.

“Thank you very much for all the help and guidance you have given me over the last few years and for explaining each step of the way”
