She specialises in serious injury claims resulting from accidents at work, accidents in public places and road traffic accidents, as well as dealing with complex criminal injury claims and professional negligence claims.
Kate Sweeney, Head of Personal Injury at Stephensons, said: “I would like to congratulate Danielle on her achievement. As a department, we are always proud of the achievements of our solicitors – particularly where their careers have started with the firm.
“We are constantly looking to maintain and improve upon our hard-won reputation as a leading practice and to demonstrate our outstanding knowledge and expertise in the field of personal injury.
“Achieving Law Society accreditation requires real commitment and a dedication to securing the best outcome for clients. In short, it recognises that the individual is among some of the finest lawyers practicing in the sector.”
