Top firm. Road transport case, this firm was assigned to help by employers insurance company. Case dismissed before it even got to trial, due to efforts of Amy Anderson don't know the cost as insurance paid but Amy is the person you want on your side, professional, and experienced. Kept me updated every step of the way which is important when your facing uncertainty. Top quality service by top of the line solicitors.

Critical: Professionalism Dreadful professionalism. If you want to be misled and put under more stress than you are probably already under, then these are the people for you. Disgraceful complaint handling and zero consideration for clients concerns. AVOID!
