What started as a tentative enquiry ended with a very acceptable out of court settlement after a work related accident. It was also settled several months ahead of schedule. A big thank you to Ralph and his team for his honest pragmatic and straight to the point advice. The fee was less than I expected. and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend thier services.

Accident Solicitors Direct was recommended by a friend after my husband had a car accident July 2020. And I can see why they was very professional and any concerns I had was talked though, they always took the time to make sure my husband understood every step. Which helped us come to a successful conclusion. Thank you Mr Richard Meggitt for your time.

Raised a claim with the firm following a nasty fall back in 2018, they came highly recommended from a work colleague and I can see why. I dealt with Richard Meggitt and his assistant Bethany Lockwood and they were fantastic. Despite the pandemic and a reluctant defence on the other side, they kept me informed and reached a satisfying out of court settlement. They took my individual needs into account and this made a world of difference.

Richard Meggitt, ASD Sheffield, was the driving force in the delivery of a successful litigation. His adept legal knowledge and resilience was tested by the defence legal experts and he consistently proved that he is both unfazed by difficult litigation processes and steadfast in his approach. Richard brought a long legal case of 4+ years to fruition, with tactical precision. Richard's work ethic and approachability was second to none; often providing counsel out of hours when required and keeping me up to date with developments.
He is industrious, effective, scrupulous and legally stern, when required, to ensure the case remains set in the interests of the wider picture; Richard accurately predicts the path ahead. I strongly commend him for his work, which ultimately helps people like me within the UK and regardless of the modest ASD fees, he is certainly worthy of high recognition within ASD, the wider legal community or nationally.

ASD was really good from start to finish. Good communication very helpful I basically just sat back and answered emails when I needed too. ASD looked after everything very efficiently. My claim ran throughout the first lockdown and Richard and his team still worked away in the background getting the job done. ASD came recommended to me by a friend who had previously used them. And I would also recommend anyone looking for a no hassle experience though contact them.

My husband used ASD. Richard Meggitt was the solicitor who handled my husbands case. I was incredibly impressed with the way Richard navigated all elements of the case. Richard was extremely professional, helpful and immensely knowledgeable at all times. He was exceptional with his communication and was extremely proactive. Richard achieved a settlement which my husband was very impressed with. I would not hesitate to recommend ASD and in particular Richard Meggitt to handle anyone's claim.

I have used ASD myself, and referred friends and family to them. I have always had a great service from them.
Helen Burdass
Recently dealt with ASD as I was referred by a friend. They dealt with my claim efficiently and always helpful and informative, although my claim was a lengthy process, I expected this but kept me updated as much as I needed and always let me know if they was waiting on any particular information for them to proceed. Glad it was a local company that dealt with my claim as they was also competitive. Great people, great company. Top marks.

I'd like to thank Chris Chappell for how he has dealt with my case for the last 32 months. It has been a long road, but we finally got there! Having never been through anything like this before, I was constantly asking questions, it didnt matter when it was, what time a day it was he always replied very quickly to give me the answers I required. I wish you well in the future, and as mentioned if ever I need, or anyone I know needs any legal help this is the place I will go.
