Negligence Claim

I cannot recommend Amanda Cavanagh enough from our first consultation Amanda demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion and genuine commitment to my case from the start through to the resolution nothing was ever a problem to her. Throughout my case Amanda was incredibly thorough explaining procedures and keeping me updated and involved other professionals who had the same commitment as she had having never been involved in any kind of legal proceedings, it was a daunting and stressful time for me but with Amanda’s help she made me feel I was in very capable hands. Amanda and her paralegal were always available and always responded promptly to any concerns I had. I will always be grateful to Amanda and her team at Ashtons for their exceptional service and support. If you are looking for a professional, compassionate and dedicated solicitor you should not hesitate to use Amanda at Ashtons Legal.

Excellent and Professional Service

Thank you Mandy; a difficult time after losing my mum but Amanda helped make the situation clearer and kept me well informed all the way through the process (which took some time, but not because of Mandy!)
She knew the right experts to talk to and made my opinions feel valued and she made her explanations clear and free from jargon
Highly recommend Mandy if you have a difficult medical case and the firm has really good contacts within this industry

Mandy supported us in a claim for medical negligence and was fantastic throughout, she kept us regularly updated and advised us on our best options and chased the other side when things weren’t moving. We’re really grateful for all the hard work she put in to helping us get a successful outcome.

Inquest for my mother

My sister and I used Ashtons Legal to help support us through our mothers inquest and from the beginning, Amanda was so supportive through the whole process. Amanda was brilliant at getting the right barrister for our case and she spent a lot of time answering our many questions throughout the process.

Amanda Cavanagh and Ashtons Legal LLP were a huge support to myself during some of the most difficult times that I have ever experienced. The firm was both friendly, kind and also understanding with regards to all aspects of my case. With this in mind, I will have absolutely no hesitation (when the time is right) in instructing Ashtons to Manage my own personal affairs moving forward. I will not look elsewhere because I found the Company to be honest and trustworthy.

I cannot fault this company, in particular Amanda Cavanagh, at all. She has been nothing but professional, understanding and compassionate to my Grandfather who she has been representing during what has been a very difficult year due to Covid-19. She has worked tirelessly to keep everything on track and keep us up to date with everything. Would 100% recommend them to anyone in the future and we cannot thank you enough for all you have done!
Our heartfelt thanks

We contacted Aston's after a friends recommendation. We had tried four other legal teams, all of which said they couldn't help us and we didn't have a case.

Amanda Cavanagh dealt with our claim. She was absolutely excellent. She kept us informed every step of the way. And handled our case very promptly and professionally. We cannot recommend her enough. And would recommend Aston's to anyone.
