Negligence claim
Was told about this solicitor by a friend. Laura weir dealt with us and made us feel at ease. She is very proffessional and kept working on our case until it was a success. It had taken 30 years and various other solitors to get to the end. We can never thank Laura and Lanyon Bowdler enough.

Negligence case against maternity hospital shrewsbury
After over 30 years of heartache and wanting justice and closure Laura Weir took on our case and won. She has become more than a solicitor i feel i could talk to her more like a caring friend that wanted closure for us and our children. I will never be able to thank her enough.

Professional and caring
Laura Weir dealt with my case and I am very satisfied with her her professionalism, understanding and guidance. I was kept up to date via email or telephone calls at all times and I always knew exactly what was happening and what to expect next. This really helped with what can be a difficult and daunting process, knowing that I had a Solicitor whom I could approach and contact at any time and if she was not available would always get back to me in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone seeking legal help and I am grateful to her for helping me successfully with my case.

Clinical Negligence Case
Through a very difficult time we have found the support and guidance from Laura and the team to be incredible. They have been beyond supportive and incredibly professional. Everything is made so easy to deal with, with very prompt responses and nothing being to much trouble. We feel we couldn’t be dealing with a better person and team. On a very personal level, thank you so much! (Case Ongoing)
