About Jennifer's role
I specialise in helping people obtain compensation after they have suffered serious injuries. I work with people who have suffered brain injuries from medical mishaps. I am dedicated to providing expertise and sensitivity to clients. Winning the Proclaim Personal Injury Award for Outstanding Case of the Year in 2008 I fight to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients.

What Clients say about Jennifer
"I wanted you to know of the outstanding work Jennifer Cawthorne has recently completed on my behalf. From the first point of contact some four years ago, Jennifer was extremely polite, courteous and highly professional. During the entire period of time, Jennifer never ceased to be a positive and constant source of support giving me a great deal of advice and comfort during what was a very difficult time for both my family and myself."
