-
I have been preparing medico-legal reports for solicitors and medico-legal agencies since 1996 and to date have prepared in excess of 9000.
-
Great emphasis is placed on my reports being logical, comprehensible and compliant with the Civil Law Procedure.
-
I have completed the Cardiff University Expert Witness Certificate in October 2006.
-
I am quite happy to accept instructions either from agencies or directly from solicitors.
-
In addition I am usually able to give instructing parties the details of two other medical experts in the geographical areas that I consult to assist with the nomination process. This does, however, depend on other experts movements, and is not guaranteed.
-
Approximately 90% of my work is as a single joint expert, and around 10% is claimant based.
-
I am, however, entirely comfortable with either claimant or defendant based instructions.
-
Appointments are normally offered within around 2-4 weeks of the original instruction, but urgent cases can usually be accommodated earlier.
-
Reports are usually ready within 5-7 days of the appointment, and can be e mailed or faxed as well as posted if this is more convenient.
-
The reports are printed onto A4 paper using Arial size 12 font.
-
Each report is indexed, paragraphs are numbered and there are footers from the second page onwards.
-
All reports are prepared individually.
-
I do not use any report writing software that produces generic documents unless I am specifically requested to do so.
-
If requested, I am conversant with WARP and GRIP software.
-
Furthermore we are able to make appointments available through Docslot.
-
A sample report can be sent to you on request.
-
All clients are sent a letter confirming the time, date, and address of their appointment.
-
In addition they are sent a pre-examination questionnaire to complete and bring with them.
-
This is intended to help individuals recall and consolidate detailed information. These fine details are essential for a thorough assessment.
-
I am conversant with Delta V, and I am very comfortable preparing reports that relate to low velocity impacts.
-
Although I am not bound by it, I try to keep my fees in line with the MRO agreement, and competitive. Please feel free to call the office to discuss fees according to your requirements. VAT is charged at 15%.
