Who am I

I’m an Associate Solicitor with over thirty years experience acting for clients in personal injury. I began my career in 1995 before joining the Fletchers Group in 2024, and I’ve remained committed throughout to helping people who have been injured in accidents secure the compensation and support they need to move forward.

I am known for my friendly, patient and professional, and I work hard to guide my clients through what can often be a long and difficult process. My focus is always on achieving the best possible outcome while making the journey as straightforward and stress‑free as possible.

Why I do this work

I have always been committed to acting for clients who have been injured in all kinds of accidents. I’m inspired to keep striving to obtain the compensation they need to move forward, especially when they have been injured through no fault of their own.

How I work with clients

I take a friendly, approachable and professional approach, and I’m a strong believer in listening carefully to what clients want to achieve. I work to minimise disruption and stress, keeping in regular contact and explaining each step clearly. Clients often tell me they value my patience, experience and the reassurance I provide during what can be a challenging time.

Outcomes

Settlement providing closure and access to private surgery

I represented a client who was relieved to resolve her claim without the need for protracted litigation, with the defendant’s insurers accepting liability for what she had been through. The settlement allowed her to move forward with her life and funded private surgery at a time that suited her, giving her control over her recovery rather than relying on NHS waiting times.

My team

As a team, we work closely together to pursue the best outcomes for our clients. Jennifer brings a friendly, supportive approach and is always willing to help clients through the claims process and answer their questions. Our collaborative way of working ensures clients feel supported throughout their case.

What I enjoy about working at Fletchers

Working at Fletchers means being part of a large, dynamic team with a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. I enjoy working alongside friendly and helpful colleagues across the firm, and I value the strong sense of teamwork that underpins everything we do.

Outside of work

Outside of work, I enjoy music, history and DIY. These interests give me the chance to unwind and switch off from the demands of litigation.
