Morrish Solicitors Launch New Inquest Service

We are pleased to announce we have launched a new inquest service providing support to individuals and families across the country.  

Morrish Solicitors have specialist solicitors who can provide expert legal advice and support to families seeking guidance and answers following the death of a loved one that is the subject of an inquest. 

We have the experience and expertise to represent any individual who has been called by a coroner to give evidence at an inquest hearing.   

The team will be managed by our Partner, John Morrison. Since qualifying with the firm in 2003 John has specialised in personal injury claims, regularly being involved in and representing in complex high profile inquest cases including the following: 

  • Represented a bus driver who suffered serious injuries in a head on collision with an ambulance highjacked by a patient being transferred between hospitals. 
  • Represented individual probation officers in three separate inquests investigating unlawful killing by individuals subject to probation supervision, which were the subject of extensive press coverage. 

John said, “Having been involved and acting for individuals in inquests has made me realise what an important process it is, first and foremost for families seeking answers following the death of a loved one, but also for the wider understanding the established facts might provide in helping prevent future deaths.”  

There is no legal requirement to have legal representation in an inquest but Morrish Solicitors are dedicated to providing the very best service for those looking for professional advice and support through what is a very difficult and vital process.  

Managing Partner at Morrish Solicitors, David Sorensen commented “We are delighted to launch a dedicated Inquest service complimenting our specialist personal injury and medical negligence work. We have decades of specialist experience in Inquest matters as the firm reaches its 140th year this year.”
