Testimonials
Dr Paul Mallett, Consultant Psychiatrist
“As a psychiatrist specialising in medico-legal work, I have had frequent contact with Dr Andrew and am familiar with his civil injury work. His reports are balanced, detailed, comprehensive and well argued. He is non-partisan, and never forgets that his first duty is to the Court. This is reflected in the broad range of instructions he receives. He has extensive expertise in PTSD. It has been my privilege to have attended academic events and have my own reports critiqued by him. In this respect also his feedback is thoughtful, fair and constructive.”
Dr Jan Wise, Consultant Psychiatrist
"Dr Andrew is a reliable psychiatrist with decades of experience of challenging and complex clinical and Expert Witness work. His enthusiasm and attention to detail in medicolegal report writing are impressive. He is a pleasure to work with."
