David Greenwood:
WHO AM I AND WHAT DO I DO?
I am a solicitor in the UK. I head up a team of dedicated and highly experienced solicitors who work alongside psychologist and barristers to fight for compensation to help abuse survivors plan for their future. My team has successfully represented claimants in a number of large and small group actions as well as handling complex individual cases.
Because of the sensitive nature of child abuse claims, it is vital to employ an expert specialist solicitor in a child abuse file to handle your case in order to secure the best possible compensation and result.
I have been committed to helping victims of child abuse full time since 1998. My email address is david.greenwood@jordanssolicitors.co.uk. My website is www.childabusesolicitor.com. I can be contacted in the UK on 01924 868911.
MY LINK WITH SURVIVORS VOICE EUROPE
I have constantly impressed with the attitude of victims who have come forward to me. Their resources of dignity and bravery seem bottomless. A few have been motivated over the years to set up contact groups on the internet in the UK but the catalyst for a Europe wide movement was the Pope’s visit to the UK in September 2010. I have known Sue Cox, one of the founders of www.survivorsvoice-europe.org for some time and she asked me to help with the legal pages of the website. I hope that my input, advice and information is helpful. If you have any legal questions or suggestions please contact me on david.greenwood@jordanssolicitors. co.uk.
