Workplace Injury Claim

First and foremost, when I was initially contacted by Richard, I was dealing with an additional family trauma , he was extremely patient and sympathetic . Richard initially was involved in my case then it was passed over to 2 other colleagues-which wasn’t ideal in my estimation then for whatever reason the case was returned to Richard., to which I was grateful. He is very efficient and explains everything in detail , I felt extremely comfortable with him dealing with my case

Excellent result with Richard Laird

I had an accident at work which resulted in a lengthy time absent from work. My Union rep put me in touch with Thompson solicitors and Richard took on my case. After a lot of to and fro between Richard and the other party’s solicitors a resolution was reached at the 11th hour. Richard was very generous with his time and thorough with his advise in this ‘new to me’ situation. I honestly never expected to have to deal with this experience and sincerely hope I never do again but it was made so much more smooth and stress free on our part that I would never hesitate to contact Richard again. We owe him a debt of gratitude.
