I have dealt with solicitors before and they do not reply to any correspondence and when they do you have to chase them up. Clive Thomas (Watkins & Gunn Ltd) kept me up to date with my claim and would always reply to any questions

Review for Clive

5

Clive was absolutely excellent throughout the whole of my personal injury claim, following a road traffic incident. He kept me fully informed at every stage of the process. He was extremely supportive which I really appreciated, as due to the varied nature of the long term, life changing impacts of the incident, mine was an unusual case. Clive and the team at Watkins and Gunn helped me cope with the trauma and stress following the incident and secured the best possible outcome for me. I can’t thank Clive and the team enough for everything they did. I would recommend Watkins and Gunn to anyone requiring supportive, professional legal services.

Clive took the time to listen to my story and also explained the options to me. He didn't just want to 'rubberstamp' things - I felt he really wanted the best outcome for me.

Thanks again Clive.

Fantastic advice and very reassuring

5

From the minute I first spoken to all of the staff at Watkins & Gunn, I felt very reassured and supported throughout the whole process. During my consultations with Clive Thomas, he explained everything very clearly and in a way that I could understand. He was always very honest with me and I always felt that he was doing his upmost to ensure I was put first and my best interests was a priority. I cannot thank him enough for his help.

So a lot can be said when a company does a small act of kindness, I was contacted today by NatWest of whom informed me that they went out of there way to speak with them today to inform them they had found my card, Now if a company can look after a random person like this, how good must they be with there customers, Thank you for returning my bank card! If I ever need a Solicitors, I know who I will contact
