David joined Newman & Bond, currently Ridley & Hall incorporating Newman & Bond, in August 2019 as an associate solicitor in the litigation department. He deals with all types of litigation including contract disputes and debt matters. He has over 25 years of experience in dealing with such cases and acting for Barnsley businesses and individuals having previously worked for many years at another Barnsley firm.
Outside work David has a keen (his wife would say obsessive) interest in cricket and is the groundsman at Darton CC. He also is an umpire in a local League and still turns out for Darton when they are short.
One of David’s clients said:
“Thank you to David Wilson for everything concerning my case in a friendly manner”
