More about Oliver

We asked Oliver:

What can clients expect from you?

I am committed to achieving the best possible results for all clients and I’m prepared to go the extra mile to deliver great client care. Clients can expect me to be friendly, approachable and dedicated to my role.

What do you love about your job?

I enjoy the level of interaction with clients that matters involving medical negligence require. During my time at Citizens Advice I developed a desire to help the most vulnerable members of our community, which I believe includes those who have suffered injury through no fault of their own and this desire has continued throughout my professional career.

What are your interests outside work?

I enjoy boxing and I love spending time with my wife and daughter.
