I have recently concluded an insurance claim handled on my behalf by Georgia Grimshaw, one of the claim handlers at Minster Law. Throughout the claim process Georgia has been polite, courteous and helpful. Could not have wished for a more understanding person. All my medical meetings were arranged for me, a course of physio was made available to me at my doctor's surgery(private health care) for which I was not liable. Georgia has been a pleasure to work with during my claim and we reached a final conclusion with which I am very happy with, Georgia was willing to try for more money but I felt that the offer made was satisfactory, well in all honesty I wanted the money to buy another bike. No fool like and old fool. A great big thanks to Minster Law but really it is a great big thank you for your help Georgia.

Amazing! We had moments of struggle with minster law but I can't put it any lower than a 4 star because the second we got assigned Alex McBride as our solicitor he worked extremely hard and did such a great job at pushing our claim forward and to a successful end! We had one solicitor go on holiday without telling us and then he left and some other guy who I can't even remember but I cannot recommend Alex enough he is by far the most professional and helpful guy I met during our claim.

I was impressed with the service I received particularly from the person dealing with my claim Wendy Sharp. She never gave up even though the other insurance company seemed immovable. She kept me informed throughout and I really felt she cared. I would like to thank her and Minster Law for acting so diligently on my behalf and not giving up and obtaining a full settlement for me.

Georgia Grimshaw was allocated to my case and she has been amazing throughout. Great professional advice and communication. Never had an issue with contact and my case was sorted very quickly. Would really recommend her as well as Minster law in general.

In October 2021 my wife and I were involved in a non-fault RTA when a car pulled a U-turn across our path, knocking us off our motorcycle. Minster Law were engaged by my Motor Legal Protection insurers, and Matthew Wild quickly made contact to explain the scope of engagement and the process he would follow in securing recovery of my uninsured losses and compensation for personal injuries sustained.
In the ensuing weeks Matthew was both proactive and professional, maintaining contact to keep me informed of developments and providing valuable advice. He was instrumental in quickly securing what proved to be a pivotal witness statement within a day that my motor insurer had failed to secure in almost a month, yet was also patient when my GAP insurers took their own sweet time in settling elements of my claim that would have otherwise formed uninsured losses.
My claim has now been brought to a satisfactory conclusion and I think it's fair to say that without Matthew's involvement it would probably still be dragging on and, potentially, liability could still be disputed. It was a pleasure to deal with Matthew and I have no hesitation in recommending him and Minster Law.

We had a few people liaising with us about our claim and our case was passed on a few times which wasn't great and at one point we gave up on proceeding with it. However, when Lynette Ogley took our case over she was very helpful and persisted with getting our case settled. She was very professional and understanding with our circumstances. Her help is much appreciated

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Shaun Walker, Lee Elmore, Jordan Gill and team. Their support, guidance and management of our claim following a no fault motorbike RTC has been outstanding and we will forever be grateful to them. They have been there for us through the very darkest of days of life with a severe brain injury with reassurance and respect, and guided us through the legal process with the utmost of care.
They are straight talking, approachable, honest, easily contactable, and very knowledgeable in their field. They are incredibly committed to ensuring rehabilitation is of the highest standard and clearly have excellent working relationships with other professionals to ensure needs are met. Words really can not express our appreciation for all they have done for us. Anyone that is supported by this team will be in good hands from the start to the very end of a claim. They are an absolute credit to Minster Law.

My claim has been going on for over 12 months now and I feel no closer to completion, with an ever mounting fee for the "work" that has been done so far on my behalf. I have had very little communication with the company, when I have spoken to someone it's because I have had a spare hour to sit on hold, to eventually get through to someone who doesn't really know what is happening in my case. I'm currently sat on hold now and have been for 40 minutes. If anyone would like to pick up.

After a very traumatic car accident which was a hit and run I thought I wouldn't get any justice or money I had to pay out, back. Minster law was brilliant not only professionally but also caring. I had a wonderful lady Bethany Harris from start to finish (which was lovely having to talk to serval people can become overwhelming so having that one person makes you feel relaxed) regularly keeping me updated with my case, friendly and so much care with phone conversations when having to relive my accident so she could get the best outcome for me. Bethany and minster Law worked tirelessly to get me the end result which was fantastic. A huge thank you to you all.

Well what can I say, I had the pleasure of Tom Streamer fighting my case and I am blown away by how personal, helpful and involved I feel he has been to the case! From start to finish I have been informed of every step and have been told what to expect. I also have had phone calls and emails with Sean Gallagher which was just as professional and pleasant! I moved my case to Minster Law after a bad experience with a firm that was all about them and expected the same everywhere but I feel like these guys have really gone above and beyond and got the best FOR ME out of all this. A massive thank you to Tom and Sean for being so thorough throughout the entire situation and actually thinking about me as a person!

After less than a month dealing with this company there communication skills are poor they release data details without first contacting the client, they fail to get authority correctly from client and are unhelpful on the phone. You never speak to the same person twice and they give you the impression that you are a number not a human being, Phone calls never stop and they pester you for updates even when you have given them to a member of their staff over the phone. They want medicals and more but not getting to grips with the actual problem. I hope I never have to use them again. Very Poor.

Olivia at Minister Law is currently handling a claim for me and, over the several months this has been ongoing, she has been wonderfully efficient. She has made the whole process easy, answering any questions I have had very promptly. When Ive needed to contact her by by email or phone - she has always been extremely pleasant and very helpful. She certainly made a stressful situation a whole lot easier to handle. Thanks for everything thus far

The sevice I received by Minster Law's Craig Croft,-Raynor was excellent. He was professional and approachable with good communication skills. I was kept informed throughout my claim and pleased with the outcome. All the staff we dealt with provided us with excellent service. Thank you.
