I had support from the very first day I spoke on the phone even before the initial meeting at the office in Romford. I was always provided with information with regards to update on the case and clarity was provided at every stage.

Outstanding Service, Highly Recommended
Recently, I have had a wonderful and very pleasant experience of working with Mr. Ben Thomas who has more than 30 years of experience in his field. He’s brilliant and very helpful. I’m very impressed with his wealth of knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. He is incredible, hardworking, polite, friendly and approachable. I have received his professional and wise advice that are very persuasive. He has excellent communication skills and always replied to my large amounts of emails and documents promptly that have shown his high responsibility and efficiency. He helped me to win the case, cleared my name, saved my future and reputation that I will be forever grateful and thankful for. He is the best solicitor who I have ever worked with. I can't recommend Mr. Thomas highly enough to anyone.

Excellent and Professional
Mr Ben Thomas handled my case from beginning to end and his expertise/professionalism were second to none. He was readily available to answer any of my questions, queries or concerns throughout and I couldn’t recommend him and Sternberg Reed any more highly.
Mr Thomas did everything necessary to get the right and correct outcome to my case and I can’t thank him enough.
