Expert Witness Instructions

  • "Julie prepared an excellent report for my client in a clinical negligence case arising from dermal filler treatment. The report is extremely detailed and careful in its analysis and provides a number of possible bases for a claim in negligence against the treatment provider. Julie provided us with a first rate service from responding, very helpfully, to our initial email of approach up to completion of her report. I look forward to onward liaison with her as the case progresses."

  • “I instructed Julie Brackenbury to act as an expert witness in a case which required the opinion of a qualified independent experienced registered nurse who was also a specialised Aesthetic Practitioner. Julie was recommended to me by a colleague, and has recently produced an excellent medico-legal report which I am confident will form the basis of a successful claim. I have been very impressed with her professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and have no hesitation in recommending her instruction to other solicitors requiring the services of an Aesthetic Medico-legal Expert Witness.’
