Hi, I am Matthew. I have specialised exclusively in helping victims of medical negligence for almost 25 years. I am a member of the Law Society Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel. I have developed a particular specialism in complex and serious cases involving brain injury and has secured many multi-million-pound settlements for my clients, with one recent settlement alone exceeding £19 million.
I was endorsed in the 2023 Chambers and Partners Guide, with sources saying: “Matthew is excellent, he is very well organised and always has his finger on the pulse”; “He’s very focused and committed to his clients, he always goes the extra mile for them”; “He is experienced, professional, understanding and caring”.
As well as receiving cases referred to me from other Solicitors who do not have the required specialisation in this area, I also receive referrals from various organisations and Charities who rely on my knowledge and reputation in this area of the law.
Medical Negligence can be a complex and long process and many Solicitors, whilst offering exceptional services in other areas, do not have the required expertise, knowledge or resources of myself and other members of the team.
I like to take the extra time to explain the Medical Negligence process to my clients, and I am proud of the caring, trusted and committed relationships I have built with my clients over the years that I have worked with them. I recognise that any serious injury claim is a traumatic time, and I do all that I can to ensure that my clients’ best interests are protected. I routinely work with professional carers and therapists to ensure the best possible rehabilitation for my clients and to ensure that their lifelong needs will be met.
I am a fluent Welsh speaker.
