Biography
I am an Associate Solicitor in the Serious Injury team based in our Birmingham office. I joined Irwin Mitchell in 2013 as a paralegal and finished my training in 2015. I qualified as a solicitor in 2017. I represent Claimants who have sustained serious injuries, including brain injuries, spinal injuries, severe orthopaedic injuries and in relation to fatal accidents. Our work regularly includes liaison with criminal, health and safety and coronial law. We work hard to provide the ‘expert hand, human touch’ service that our clients and their families need during following their injuries and during their rehabilitation. Some of the Claimants I represent also lack mental capacity; we work closely with our colleagues in our leading Court of Protection team. I am also an APIL accredited Senior Litigator.
What inspired you to get into law?
Both of my parents enjoyed long careers working for the NHS as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses. Growing up, I saw how they dedicated their professional careers to caring for patients and their genuine commitment to improving the lives of others. I knew that in pursuing my career in law, I always wanted to achieve the same goal. I am incredibly passionate about supporting my clients following their life changing injury and/or loss and to providing proactive and sensitive support and advice throughout their claim.
Testimonials
“Following a serious motoring accident my wife and I were badly hurt and our insurance company instructed Irwin Mitchell to pursue our claim. Throughout the process Toni and Alice Hall acted with complete professionalism, but were patient and remained caring at all times. Suffice to say that Toni managed to secure a very good result to our individual claims. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Irwin Mitchell.” – Former client
“I would like to say a huge thank you to Toni Knott, Alice Hall and Kate Hewson. After being involved in a serious accident they have been with us all the way through the process, they helped with everything along the way (house adaptations, car adaptations, interim payments). I don’t know how we would have made it through without them. I am more than happy with the settlement. I think I can honestly say that I am going to miss the care and support they have helped provide. Everybody involved has been very professional, helpful, trustworthy and friendly. I fully recommend Irwin Mitchell.” – Former client
“My wife was run over on a Zebra Crossing and ended up with a broken hip and life-changing injuries. Over a four and a half year period we have dealt with Toni Knott and Alice Hall from the Serious Injury Team. [I] can’t thank them enough for the support, advice and, in the end, the fabulous settlement received for my wife. Nothing was ever too much trouble for both Toni and Alice and they even came out to our house to save my wife the travel. I would have no hesitation in recommending Irwin Mitchell and especially Toni Knott and Alice Hall. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.” – Former client
"Following a car accident that completely changed my life and made my future uncertain, I contacted Irwin Mitchell and was represented by Alice. She helped me pursue a personal injury claim against the person who caused the accident. The case took four long years to get to settlement and was very difficult, but Alice steered me through it and kept me going even through the darkest days. It's hard to go through litigation when you're in pain and suffering from PTSD, but I never felt alone during the process. No question was ever a stupid question, Alice was never too busy to explain things to me or reassure me. Because of Alice's hard work, I ended up with a very generous settlement. I'd highly recommend Irwin Mitchell to anyone. I have a lot to thank Alice and her team for." 5* Trustpilot review
"On behalf of my mother, I'd like to thank Alice on the successful conclusion to my mother's claim following an incident on a bus that resulted in a broken femur and her loss of independent living. Alice has at all times been helpful, informative, and provided us with her advice through the whole process. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Irwin Mitchell, and in particular Alice." - 5* Trustpilot review
