Exemplary service from Robert Shaw. He is an expert.

I instructed Mr Robert Shaw in respect of a historic abuse claim. When I spoke to Robert, he was very confident, kind, and patient. His advice was spot-on. He fought tirelessly for justice on my behalf and handled all the paperwork and correspondence. Robert always gave me confidence. I had muddled along with the claim on my own for many years, managing somehow to achieve an initial award of £19,000. Robert was solely responsible for increasing that initial award to a final award of over £200,000 in total. He did this efficiently, over the course of twelve months. I highly recommend Robert Shaw for anyone making a claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. He's absolutely brilliant. This becomes quickly apparent when you speak to him on the phone. On receiving such a large amount of compensation, I am now able to rebuild my life and I owe that to Robert and his excellent work.
