Suing Ryanair

5

Richard Meggitt’s excellent and helpful article on how to sue Ryanair was wonderful. There was one piece of information I needed to check and Richard did that quickly over the telephone. He also followed up with an email with an amendment to his artiucle because of procedural court changes. I wish all solicitors were as helpful.

Excellent service from start to completion

5

I was fortunate to pick Accident Solicitors Direct to represent my brother following a road traffic accident of an untraced vehicle making a claim to the MIB. Richard Meggitt handled the case from start to completion with care, kindness & the upmost professionalism. We were kept informed at every point, the communication was first class, calls and emails were answered promptly. I would recommend Richard and ASD to anyone seeking a claim. The claim doesn’t replace the trauma of a life long disability but brings some closure. Thank you.

Excellent advice

5

As a disgruntled customer of another firm of solicitors dealing with my injury claim, I called Accident Solicitors Direct.
Richard, had to deal with my tears and frustration, he was calm, considerate and professional. His advice was solid and I highly recommend this company. Only wish I had been allocated to this company rather than the shower dealing with my claim.
Thank you Richard

Excellent help from Ralph

5

Ralph Clark helped me with a query regarding a follow-up matter. This was quite sometime after my previous case closed (very successfully) with his colleague Richard Meggitt. Richard had offered me future guidance on a separate matter, that was ongoing after my ASD case closed. Richard's prior litigation in my personal injury case was excellent; I 5* reviewed Richard in the past.

Ralph answered my query, which was very helpful and he did so free of charge; for 5 minutes of his busy schedule. Things like that are the difference between a good business and an excellent one. The latter is ASD Sheffield (5*).

Ralph Clark's advice was clear, concise and very helpful to me. Thanks again to Ralph, Richard and all of the team at ASD Sheffield.

Road traffic accident

5

I had a horrendous life-changing RTA while I was in UK on student-visa. I was very sceptical about filing a claim given my ongoing studies, limited time visa, my general and mental health. But then I happened to see the reviews of ASD and I decided to go ahead. They're so supportive from the day first I met Grace until my claim concluded. Richard Meggitt took my case, did everything timely and always kept me up-to-dated. To be honest in my experience, once they take up your case you don't need to worry about anything. I will totally recommend them to anyone looking for accident solicitors.

I had a fantastic experience with Accident Solicitors Direct. I delt with both Chris and Richard and they were both professional, helpful, and always kept me updated throughout my case. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks to their hard work and experience, I got a great outcome. Highly recommend them if you need trustworthy and supportive legal help after an accident.

I’m incredibly grateful to ASD, and in particular Richard Meggitt, for his exceptional support and representation throughout my injury claim. Over the past three years, the process was far from straightforward, but Richard’s expertise, persistence, and clear communication guided me through every hurdle with confidence and reassurance.

His professionalism and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome made a difficult journey much more manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard and the team at ASD to anyone seeking skilled and compassionate legal representation.

Fantastic service from Richard and the entire team - always professional and they keep you informed and updated on a regular basis. Initially coming to our house at a time to suit us, nothing was too much much trouble. Thanks so much ASD for everything, you have been superb.

Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at ASD Solicitors. As well as being very professional, keeping me informed at every stage of the process, they were also very understanding and compassionate which helped both myself and my family immensely. I can't recommend them highly enough.
A special thank you to Richard and Ralph for all of their hard work. It was very much appreciated.
