Joe qualified as a solicitor in 1987 and has practised in a number of firms from the very large to the very small, from Slater and Gordon to nearly 15 years in his own firm. His current specialism is Professional Negligence aspects of Commercial Litigation, in which he has always been involved, but spent many years dealing also with all aspects of Personal Injury claims.

Joe travels when possible as far afield as Hawaii but always returns to Greece and Switzerland, his two favourite countries outside the UK.

Accidents happen all the time but when someone else is at fault and it simply shouldn’t of happened, Rachel is on hand to help get the best result.
