Biography
I specialise in recovering compensation for people who’ve been diagnosed with a workplace illness. Some conditions are caused by exposure to asbestos and I help clients with conditions such as asbestosis, pleural thickening, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
I also help clients with a range of other respiratory problems, such as asthma, COPD, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis. These conditions can be caused by exposure to a range of different toxic substances, such as respirable crystalline silica for silicosis.

"I would highly recommend Irwin Mitchell Solicitors. The Solicitor we dealt with (Dominic Riley) was very professional and courteous, explained everything thoroughly, listened and answered any questions no matter how trivial they may have seemed. We felt very confident in his guidance and advice. As this was during the period of 'lockdown', communication was via email and telephone and it was exceptionally prompt; emails were answered straight away and telephone appointments were always on time. Thank you for making this a positive experience."- 5* Trustpilot review
