Extremely Satisfied Client
It's been an absolute pleasure to deal with Tinsdills Solicitors. As a family, we are delighted with the service provided. Although the process has been a lengthy one we have received help and support throughout. Paul has combined his professionalism with a genuine, empathetic approach. Nothing has been too much trouble for him. He is a credit to this company, that's for sure. I have personally used this company again for a different service and have, once more been totally satisfied

Industrial accident claim
Really big thank you to our solicitor Paul Woolliscroft for all his hard work he’s done for me and my family, the last 3 years plus has been like a whirlwind and my family and I didn’t know which way to turn after my accident, but it was made all the easier after meeting Paul.
I would highly recommend Tinsdills and would definitely use them again.
