Profile
The Senior Junior in Temple Garden Chambers, John has built up a
substantial Personal Injury & Fatal Accidents practice in his 3
decades in chambers. Described by the solicitor who advised Balfour
Beatty to instruct him in the Hatfield Rail Crash case (a rare
foray into the world of crime) as a "pragmatic street fighter", he
has acquired a reputation for sound judgment (in professional
matters), realistic and practical advice and excellent advocacy.
80% of his practice involves the representation of insurers in high
value claims, usually involving catastrophic head injuries or
injuries of maximum severity, and he has particular experience in
exposing exaggerated and dishonest claims. John's objective
approach has ensured that he continues to receive a volume of
instructions on behalf of Claimants in substantial & unusual
claims.
