Virginia Shepherd
Senior Paralegal
My approach is to try and make a complicated and chaotic time as simple and stress free as possible, taking a load off people’s shoulders so they can focus on what is important.
My work in Personal Injury is motivated by my desire to help people from all walks of life – not just those who can afford it – to obtain compensation caused by circumstances out of their control. Having finished 18 months of breast cancer treatment myself, I can empathise with the pain and uncertainty faced by many of our clients.
It’s important to take time to understand each individual case and appreciate each person’s story. A compassionate and understanding approach helps us to achieve the best results.
Career highlight:
Though challenging, working on claims involving children who have suffered catastrophic injuries to provide their parents with the financial assistance required for their lifetime care.
In my own time:
I’m passionate about maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle, especially spending quality time with my family and practicing yoga. These things allow me to live life to the fullest!
