I am Managing Partner of Hatch Brenner Solicitors and a Personal Injury solicitor. I represent clients in a broad range of injury claims, specialising in complex matters involving brain injury, fatal accidents and medical negligence.

I have considerable experience dealing with injury cases from minor road traffic accidents to catastrophic claims involving traumatic brain injury – in which I have a special interest. I am proud to have helped hundreds of clients get the compensation they are entitled to. Ranging from several thousand to over a million pounds, as well as access to the country’s leading specialist rehabilitation services, during my 20 years of experience my clients have benefitted from the very best standards of face-to-face client care.
