Industrial Injury claim (Asbestos)
I have found Liz to be very friendly and helpful.
Professionally, not only did she get me a settlement on my industrial injury claim at the top end of expectations, but on her intuitive, she got an agreement for them to pay for any future UK based private medical treatment as recommended by the treating Oncologist. This included any associated cost such as necessary travel and accommodation. Wolferstans would deal with any claims for me. All the above has been at no cost to myself. Costs will be reclaimed from the defendant.
The process has helped me set things in order and remove any financial worries.
Highly recommended.

Industrial Disease (Asbestos) Claim
Following a recommendation we engaged Liz Makin of Wolferstans to pursue compensation relating to asbestos exposure of a late family member.
Liz and her team not only dealt with our claim in a professional and communicative manner, but throughout the process Liz was totally sensitive to the feelings of the family and approached delicate issues demonstrating compassion & understanding.
Her knowledge of the Industrial Disease claims process was clear to see and we had no doubt that as a result of this she was able to secure the best possible outcome for the family.
The support team at Wolferstans also demonstrated a high level of proficiency & courtesy.
I/we would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Wolferstans and particularly Liz Makin should anyone need to pursue a similar claim.

Claim for Asbestos related disease
I was executor to my late uncle, to which he wanted me to carry on the claim on his passing.
He was a very close uncle to me. and he would have been so happy with the outcome. All he ever wanted was to leave his wife some security, which she now has.

I am very grateful to Liz Makin, who led me through a lengthy process with a professional but caring regard to our circumstances.
Each stage and development but caring regard for our circumstances. Each stage and development was patiently explained, first with a phone call or email, where appropriate, immediately followed by a detailed letter confirming those facts. Queries were met with considered, sound advice. Delays were chased once a reasonable time was afforded to those concerned. I couldn’t have asked for more. We also previously chose this well established firm to process our Wills.

I can’t speak more highly of the help and advice received from Wolferstans – particularly Liz Makin who worked so hard to get the right result and kept us informed at all stages.
I would certainly highly recommend Wolferstans as caring, understanding, knowledgeable and professional specialist lawyers.
