Mr Stone has been engaged in medico-legal practice for ten years and has a special interest in clinical negligence work.

Appointments are usually available for clients requiring a condition and prognosis report in Exeter, London or Cardiff within two weeks of instruction. A completed report is returned within a further two weeks, although a faster turnaround time can be accommodated where necessary.
