Someone recommended MK Law Solicitors to me and had put me in contact with Mr Duncan.

Long story short. After our first phone conversation. I knew my case was in safe hands and felt very confident with my claim.

Mr Duncan took down all relevant details required and told me to leave it with him.
He gave me all the information that were useful to me.
Broke down what my rights are and what the next step was.

I was receiving regular updates from Mr Duncan, on the progression of the case and a rough time scale.

Not long after I was contacted by Mr Duncan and was told. I won the case and was fairly compensated.

Overall. I was more than happy with the service.
I would highly recommend and wouldn't think twice to use again.

Thank you, MK law solicitors and Mr Duncan for your service.

I am more than pleased to write this review praising and thanking MK Law and the solicitor who dealt with my case, Mr Duncan Burtwell. In conclusion to the case, I received £15,500 from the chief constable of Kent for being arrested on three occasions all without foundation or legal standing. I can recommend this firm and their high standard of expertise and thank them for the hard work in bringing this to a conclusion.

Top Top law firm. MK Law handled a case I was involved in & the service was fantastic. I was constantly kept informed and was able to call up and get further information immediately. Duncan Burtwell was amazing for me throughout the entire process. I was amazed with how professional he was whilst also having an understanding of the psychological effects of the case keeping me grounded throughout.
