Richard Wheeler has a busy common law practice with particular emphasis on personal injury. He has a wealth of advocacy experience arguing cases before district and circuit judges on an almost daily basis over the last six years. He has also appeared on a variety of matters in the High Court. He has addressed lay members countless times in magistrates’ courts, employment tribunals, and on juries of the crown and coroner’s court.
Alongside a busy court practice, Richard has developed a practical and efficient advisory practice. He aims to provide written advices within two weeks of receipt of papers. Urgent turn around will try to be accommodated on request.

“I confirm receipt of the particularly well drafted Particulars of Claim.”
