    Jones Whyte Solicitors

  • “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.’
