Personal injury claim -bike accident

I was knocked off my bike and sustained a complex broken wrist which required surgical intervention to pin and plate and extensive immobilisation. The driver was charged with driving without due care and attention. Clive Thomas came highly recommended to manage my personal injury claim which was settled within a year. I was very pleased with the impeccable service received throughout. My solicitor and paralegal were professional, approachable and kept me informed every step of the way. I always felt listened to and appreciated and any questions or concerns I had were dealt with promptly. They provided clear and helpful feedback throughout the process, making everything easy to understand and helping me feel confident in the progression of my claim. I would high recommend Watkins and Gunn to anyone seeking legal advice.

Help with a workplace injury

Ffion was amazing with how she handled my injury claim, she kept me up-to-date with everything and every time I had a question she would answer promptly, gave me updates as and when information came through and provided excellent advice throughout my claim, even raising my issue to her supervisor for review which in turn gave me the best possible result I could have asked for

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

I cannot thank Clive Thomas at Watkins and Gunn enough, from the initial telephone contact, the ongoing continued updates and contact, Clive has helped my family and myself through a very traumatic time. He has been very professional, helpful and courteous at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Clive and his Colleagues at Watkins and Gunn to anyone who needs any legal advice and help.
