Exceptional Care in Navigating a Challenging Legal Matter

I am deeply grateful to Brachers, a Kent-based law firm, for their outstanding work on my complex asbestos-related personal injury claim. Jeremy Horton, Lyn Lester, and Nicola Todd were exceptional in guiding me and the family through a challenging and intricate process with remarkable expertise and compassion. The case, far from a typical personal injury matter, required meticulous attention, and the team handled every detail with care and precision. Their sensitivity to the sensitive nature of the case, combined with their personal touch, made me feel truly supported. Regular online meetings and consistent email communication, thoughtfully scheduled to fit my busy life, kept me well-informed and confident in their approach. Jeremy’s strategic expertise and the team’s dedication led to a suitable settlement, bringing me and the family significant relief and closure. I wholeheartedly recommend Brachers to anyone facing a complex asbestos claim—their professionalism and genuine care set them apart.

Quality Service

I cannot express enough gratitude to Brachers law firm, and especially to Jeremy Horton, for their exceptional work in successfully settling the asbestos-related claim for my late husband, Albert. From our very first contact, Jeremy and his team demonstrated remarkable professionalism, expertise, and, most importantly, genuine compassion during what was an incredibly difficult time for me and my family. Navigating the complexities of an asbestos claim after losing Albert felt overwhelming, but Brachers guided us through every step with clarity and unwavering support. Jeremy Horton was an outstanding lead solicitor. His depth of knowledge regarding asbestos litigation was immediately apparent, and he meticulously handled every detail of the case. He was always approachable, patient in answering our many questions, and kept us informed with regular updates, ensuring we understood the progress at every stage. His strategic approach and dedication ultimately led to a successful and satisfactory settlement, which has brought us a much-needed sense of closure and security. The entire team at Brachers operated with efficiency and sensitivity, making a challenging process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Their commitment to achieving justice for Albert was evident throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Brachers law firm to anyone seeking legal assistance, particularly for complex and sensitive cases like asbestos claims. Their expertise, combined with their compassionate client care, truly sets them apart. Thank you, Jeremy Horton and Brachers, for everything you have done for us.

To be recomended

Jeremy and staff were supportive, professional and empathic from our first meeting at my home. They remained so for the two year duration of the claim. Nothing was too much trouble, and Jeremy kept me fully informed, updating me regularly and always responded to my concerns/queries in a timeley manner.

I have been trying to pursue a medical negligence claim for some time now and this keeps being delayedt by my doctor/consultants coming up with new excuses and recently I was mis diagnosed, I contacted this solicitors to try and take action against the party's concerned and highlighted the moving goal post I had experience. And this was why my original issue was several years ago and it is because I am now aware that there is an issue as they keep coming up with new excuses which I have to research to clarify the ventality of the doctors or hospitals claims. And so when I become aware that there can new claims are not valid this is from the date that the three years date applies. Having spoken to young lady she asked me which having spoken to young lady she asked me which trusts or hospitals etc was I looking to seek redress with. I mentioned the hospitals and she clearly stated that the firm could not pursue a claim in my case as it was a conflict of interest. This is the most honest that has solicitor has been with me in regard to this matter most just say I cannot help you goodbye. as you only have a set period of time to take the case to court this is disgusting I'm hats off to this company for stating that it was a conflict of interest and they are now going to recommend solicitors out of the area who may be able to assist me and I am waiting her email as I write this. They seem to have good integrity.

Thank you for your feedback with your experience. On occasion we find that a conflict of interest stops us from acting on behalf of certain individuals or companies. In cases such as this we endeavour to be as transparent and helpful as we can. Hopefully in your case we are able to offer you some suitable alternatives. Many thanks again for taking the time to provide us with a review.

The team was led by Jeremy Horton who undertook my case of depression against my employers. This ran over 10 years and Jeremy and his team was brilliant. They kept me up to date as what was happening, the preparation of all the legal paperwork that seemed to run into volumes. The barrister they employed was fantastic and even when it was necessary they went back to court and appealed. Working continuous for such a long period and never giving up, always having the end result in mind. I cannot see anyone could have asked for better.
