Professional, Strategic and Highly Effective Representation

I instructed Ashtons Legal LLP in relation to a serious and long-running personal injury claim arising from a workplace accident, which lasted approximately five years. My case involved extensive medical assessments, expert reports and detailed legal analysis. Throughout the process, Tom Ranson and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, technical expertise and strategic approach. At every stage, I was informed clearly, promptly and transparently; the legal risks, available options and potential outcomes were explained to me in detail. The advice provided was balanced, realistic and aligned with the overall case strategy. Throughout the entire process, I felt safe and confident that my case was in capable hands. The file was managed in a disciplined, systematic and solution-focused manner. The outcome achieved is a successful reflection of the long-term and meticulous legal work invested in the case. I would confidently recommend Ashtons Legal LLP to anyone seeking strong representation in personal injury matters.

Successful Personal Injury Claim

I can not thank Tom Ranson ( Ashtons Legal) enough for everything he has done for me during my claim! The process of my claim was complex and lengthy, made even more so by a global pandemic thrown into the mix! However, Tom provided continuous communication, support, advice and guidance throughout every step of my claim! I was able to access excellent care and treatment with various professionals, which I will always be grateful for! I was so pleased with the result of my claim and had every faith in Tom’s capabilities, hard work and determination to ensure the best possible outcome for me. If you are looking for a personal injury solicitor, look no further!

Above & beyond.

Right from day one when I first spoke with Tom through to the conclusion of the claim, I personally feel that Tom went way above and beyond what could ever be expected of him as he wasn't just an amazing Lawyer representing me during the claim, Tom also made himself available whenever I needed reassurance (which I needed a lot of, being an anxious worrier!), nothing was too much trouble and he kept me well informed with regular emails throughout the claim over the 4 years. Tom amazingly answered my emails when I had a question or just needed reassurance almost immediately no matter what time day or night. Tom was also very understanding that I struggle with using a phone and was always very patient with me when I was stressing about something. I cannot thank Tom & Ashtons Legal enough who were so kind to me throughout, and the end result was above & beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I cannot recommend Tom and Ashtons Legal enough as they will support and reassure you every step of the way.

Without Question the BEST Personal Injury Lawyer in the Country

My wife and I had a bad car accident a few years ago which resulted in a personal injury case that was exceedingly difficult and which we though was impossible to prevail in. We had all but completely given up when Tom got involved. Tom's experience, tenacity and incredibly hard work turned an impossible case into a resounding success. Words will never truly express just how incredibly grateful my wife and I are to have had the incomparable privilege of having Tom fight her corner. Until we met Tom, we had only heard of fairytales of, or watched in awe on television, fictional superhero lawyers who, against the odds, did miracles for their clients which changed their lives forever. It is an overwhelming delight to know that such fabled lawyers do exist in the form of Tom Ranson. But then we are people of faith and we do believe that Tom was an answer to our prayers. The tenacity, zeal, and unwavering fidelity with which Tom acted for us throughout this process is an example for all lawyers which I only wish we could do case study on so all who follow can do likewise. Tom's client management is masterful from an emotional and a practical perspective which, as impressive as that is, does not come within a hair's breadth of Tom's terrifying grasp of critical details that matter. Needless to say Tom has truly changed our lives. My wife's prospects of leading a more fulfilling life is markedly improved as a result of the resounding success that Tom won for her and for that he will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

We approached Ashton legal after an accident at Work and Tom was assigned as our solicitor. Tom arranged all expert medical appointments and the healthcare assessment needed for support at home while recovering. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, kind, and had loads of litigation experience. He guided us through the legal processes and documentation from expert reports to court fees. The end result was very successful. We highly recommend Tom at Ashton legal.
