I dealt with Paul Lewis to help me get some compensation involving a traffic accident. He did a fantastic job within a year of the accident to get me my compensation and setting up plastic surgery arrangements for me. Will definitely be using this company again in the near future. 5 star

Can't thank Paul and his team enough for the exceptional service they provided me. My case was handled with professionalism from start to finish, and there was always someone there to support me whenever I needed it. George Ide and Paul should be the first port of call to someone in need of a personal injury solicitor, I can't recommend them enough!

I contacted George Ide LLP by recommendation when my husband was involved in a severe accident as a pedestrian almost 4 years ago. In the very early days Paul Fretwell visited me at home and was an immense support through what turned out to be a very difficult case. Paul immediately knew my husband's injuries were life-changing and throughout he dealt with it in the most holistic way possible, including instructing the best counsel and experts, to ensure the most positive outcome for us. Paul takes a practical and pragmatic, but supportive approach.

For the duration of our claim he was unfailingly responsive, always communicating legal detail clearly and concisely, which was important given my husband's cognitive restrictions and fatigue issues. We would absolutely recommend Paul and George Ide LLP to anyone dealing with the legal aftermath of a severe accident.

I asked for the services of George Ide primarily due to the injuries sustained from a serious injury, and Paul Fretwell/Karen Jenkins supported by Lizzy were amazing! They showed great empathy and worked wonderfully to secure me a good settlement, even with the bumps in the road, they never gave up. Since then I have also been provided great service by Nicholas Smith when purchasing our house, with support from Lara (very prompt service indeed!) and they continue to provide ongoing financial advice and support from John Atkinson and Sam/Clare The whole team are amazing, the communication is brilliant (even during evenings and weekends I received emails from them!) They are most friendly and accommodating, one of the best choices I have ever made was to seek their advice.

We can't rate Nicholas Smith at George Ide highly enough. He was incredibly responsive and replied to our enquiries very quickly. He made the whole process of selling our property and buying our new home stress free. We strongly recommend him and the George Ide team.

Paul Fretwell, the personal injury claims lawyer from George Ide, represented me when I sustained a brain injury in an accident. I was extremely nervous about the process but he was excellent and set my mind at rest. He genuinely cares about his clients and their problems and pulls out all the stops to help. He successfully won my compensation claim for me. I would highly recommend Paul and this firm.

When one thinks of a firm of solicitors, the mind conjures up an image of a dimly lit office with rows of dusty books with LAW written on them and an equally dusty solicitor peering at you over a pair of glasses while seated at an enormous desk. This is of course a Dickensian view, but one that nevertheless is the one that springs to mind first. Needing a firm such as these usually means you are in some sort of "trouble" and is fairly daunting prospect for anyone.

I needed help and fortunately I ended up in the offices of George Ide where my preconceived ideas vanished within the first minute. From the outset it felt to me that my case was the absolutely most important one they had ever taken on and that everything I needed or requested was dealt with swiftly and sympathetically. Having had a serious industrial injury I was not in the best frame of mind and every step was explained, however daft I felt the question was, in a way that just made me feel better and the feeling that through all the awful goings on that I was not alone. George Ide is an outstanding firm of people who recognise real problems and real situations with real people and you know what? There aren't any dusty books or strange dim offices, just a friendly reception and a willingness to help in anyway they can.
