Neil McKinley, solicitor at Grantham’s JMP Solicitors, has been made a Fellow of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). There are only 129 Fellows in in total across the country so it is a pretty prestigious honour.

Fellowship has been granted in recognition of his experience representing injured people and his contribution to this field of legal practice.

APIL is the legal body set up 25 years ago dedicated to changing the law, protecting and enhancing access to justice and improving the services provided for victims of personal injury.

“Having previously been an executive committee member in the early days of the organisation it is professionally satisfying that I have been recognised,” said Neil. “I have nearly 40 years legal practice behind me. I have always worked on behalf of injured people and I will continue APIL’s work in helping them seek the justice they need and to which they have a right”.

Neil specialises in serious injury claims and disease cases including asbestosis and hearing loss.

“Neil has won justice for thousands of people during his career as a lawyer. We conservatively estimated he has secured millions of pounds in damages for his clients. This Fellowship is a rare and prestigious recognition from our industry body,” said Ian Howard, managing director
