Cases are handled by experienced advocates, with funding options like no win no fee agreements available to reduce client risk.

Report
One of the Worst Solicitor Firms I've ever dealt with, I was dealing with Mel and Chris from Redmans they broke all contract agreements and dates and made huge mistakes with dates, Do not us this firm they are far to busy to deal with the amount of cases they are managing. Never again

Excellent work from Chris Hadrill - all boxes ticked and some good work chasing up final pieces of the jigsaw to ensure a good resolution on the case he was dealing with on my behalf.

I am extremely pleased with Chris Hadrill and his team because I have experienced the highest standards of service. I was kept updated with developments and appropriate alternative issues and avenues addressed which could have an impact on the issues at hand. Chris is a highly competent and professional Solicitor who has provided me with an effective and efficient service.
Paul Stone
Chris Hadrill helped me by drafting a grievance letter to my employer, as they want to reduce my working hours. It's early days but I'm hoping for a good outcome... I'm sure I'll be contacting him again real soon! Highly recommend!

Redmans was an outstanding firm for me to use. I sent an inquiry message over their website and I was called within 1-2 hours. I was contacted by Chris Hadrill and he was so professional and a real gentleman. He handled my case with great attention to timeliness (both excellent listening and intentional speaking), kindness (I could tell he cared what I was going through), and going above and beyond what I thought I would receive from a solicitor firm. I feel like I have been taken care with all my best interests being exercised.
