Richard is the owner of Moons Solicitors, and has specialised in personal injury claims on behalf of injured people for over 20 years. He is one of only two solicitors currently working in Peterborough to hold the Law Society Personal Injury Accreditation.
He set up Moons in April 2020 when leading Peterborough firm Hunt and Coombs, where he was a senior solicitor, decided to stop taking on new personal injury work.
He was born and grew up in Peterborough, and attended the University of Warwick and De Montfort University in Leicester. He qualified as a Legal Executive before going on to qualify as a Solicitor. He began work in Peterborough, spending five years at Buckles, before working for ten years at leading Cambridge firm Taylor Vinters, and then international firm Slater and Gordon when they took over Taylor Vinters' personal injury department. After a short time working independently through virtual firm Scott-Moncrieff and Associates, he moved to Hunt and Coombs where he worked for five years, before establishing Moons in 2020.
Richard has spent his entire career working for injured people, and has extensive experience of claims all the way from simple, straightforward injuries up to life-changing and fatal accidents. He has a special interest in claims involving psychiatric injuries and chronic pain disorders. He is a recommended lawyer in the 2024 Chambers Guide to lawyers and law firms.
Away from work, Richard is a family man, and he also enjoys cycling and painting, and is secretary of his local art group. He is a councillor on Ailsworth Parish Council.

Compensation Claim
Explained things all the time as required and took us through the case much quicker than our previous solicitor Moons solicitor knew which specialist doctors were needed and although took our case on at the beginning of the lock down still managed to get us appointments and get the case moving It was a good decision taking our case to Moons solicitors although our case has been very long and exhausting it has been well worth the wait in the end and I would highly recommend Moons solicitors

Many thanks for your kind review Michael. I am glad to hear we were able to be of help, and that you were happy with how things went. Nobody wants to be in the position to have to make an injury claim, but I hope that now everything has been completed you can put it behind you, and I wish you all the very best for the future.

I was recommended to Richard by another law firm who don't deal with No Win No Fee claims and I found him very professional throughout and was very happy with the result.

Thank you Leslie for your very kind review. Whilst no settlement can truly undo the damage, I hope it helps you to put things behind you, and to have the feeling that at least in some way things have been put right. Very best wishes for the future. Richard
