About us

Law Society Personal Injury Accreditation mark

Moons Solicitors is a specialist personal injury firm. We do not do any other kind of work, and we know what we are good at.

We believe solicitors should specialise. That is why you will not find us dabbling in work we can't do well. Personal injury claims are important, and can be the most important legal work you will ever need to be done. You get one chance to get the right support, the right rehabilitation and the right compensation.

Some solicitors will do a bit of everything and will offer to carry out personal injury work without specialising in it. Some solicitors will have a solicitor in charge of their personal injury work, but the actual work on your case is done by junior, sometimes unqualified staff. Some firms aren't solicitors at all, but are claims management companies or accident management firms - you can tell a real solicitor's firm by the Solicitors Regulation Authority digital badge at the bottom of this page.

We are a proper, expert personal injury solicitors. We are proud to hold the Law Society Personal Injury Accreditation quality mark.

We aim to get the best result for you, putting your recovery - whether it is your physical, mental or financial recovery - at the centre of what we do.

He has a special interest in claims involving psychiatric injuries and chronic pain disorders. He is a recommended lawyer in both the Legal 500 and the Chambers guides to lawyers and law firms.
