Kevin Dillon Consultant Solicitor

I have been in legal practice since 1988 and a solicitor since 2000. I have wide-ranging experience across many fields of practice, working in private practice for small firms and in-house with a public utility company and local government. As a result, I have acted for both claimants and defendants, including some advocacy, together with some criminal prosecution and defence work.

My experience includes:

• Personal injury litigation
• Local authority civil and criminal litigation
• General advice to council departments
• Housing possessions advocacy
• Small claims arbitrations
• Licensing applications
• Debt recovery
• Housing disrepair litigation
• Will drafting
• Employment tribunals
• Criminal defence in magistrates' courts
• Motor Insurers' Bureau and Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority cases
• Applications to set aside county court judgments
• Consent orders.

I have been a self-employed freelance solicitor since 2019. My specialist areas of practice are personal injury and housing disrepair. I put client care at the top of my priorities, alongside professional standards and competence. I like my clients to feel that they can talk easily to me about their problems and issues, so I aim for an approach which is both professional and friendly. 

In my "other life" away from the law, I am a masters' international athlete. I run middle and long distance and represent Great Britain at European and world masters' championships. I have won medals at British, European and world masters' championships, and my best achievement to date is a silver medal at the World Masters Cross Country Championships in Australia in 2023. I also work as a team manager for my athletics club and am an assistant manager for the Great Britain masters' team.
