I have been a lawyer for the past 25 years and working for Express Since 2012. I find advising and representing my clients very rewarding, and feel great satisfaction when I secure compensation on their behalf.
I and my team pride ourselves on our empathetic approach and always invest time to foster a strong rapport with every individual client and their family. I feel this is vital as many of our clients approach us following life-changing, catastrophic injuries including spinal injuries, brain traumas and pain syndromes such as CRPS.
One of my greatest abilities is to be able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a case early on. This has helped me to achieve excellent results for my clients, many of which have been left unable to work due to their injuries.
Out of work, I enjoy playing various sports including golf, football and running as well as spending time with my young family.

“Richard Lowery was my solicitor and David Dean they were excellent, can’t fault them in any way. They explained everything along the long road of my claim, they are very professional and both really nice people. I’d highly recommend express solicitors”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor and really do appreciate him being there for me. Richard truly cared about me and my case, it was never about the money and whenever I needed him by phone or email, he was there”.
