What clients say about Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP

Clients consistently praise the firm’s clinical and medical negligence expertise, noting skill in handling complex, multi-establishment and emotionally charged cases. Valued soft skills include clear communication, compassion, professionalism, approachability and strong client support throughout lengthy processes. Clients felt listened to, well informed and treated as individuals rather than files. No explicit technical criticism appears, though frustrations implied relate to the inherent difficulty and emotional toll of cases rather than the firm’s competence; a few reviews note reliance on specific lawyers and deputies during absences, suggesting occasional continuity concerns when key individuals are unavailable.

Why I would use Pennington Manches Cooper

My decision to choose Pennington Manches was made without reading any reviews, but after speaking at length with Amy Milner, I felt completely at ease. From that first conversation, I was reassured that I had made the right choice. Amy, along with every member of staff I dealt with afterwards, they all remained thoroughly professional throughout my long and difficult nine-year journey. Although I did not meet everyone working behind the scenes, I would like to give special mention to Alice Fitzgerald and Philippa Luscombe, who were responsible for presenting a complex medical negligence claim. Over the years, I was never made to feel insignificant. Quite the opposite: I felt respected, involved, and informed at every stage of the process. The team maintained high standards while also creating an environment in which I felt comfortable, never intimidated, and able to share very personal information. If you ever find yourself needing to pursue a claim, I have no hesitation in recommending Pennington Manches who were successful beyond my expectations with my claim.

Clinical Negligence

Exceptional Experience

I very nearly gave up seeking help in a complicated clinical negligence claim where other firms had been unwilling to help. I came across Penningtons Manches Cooper quite by accident however, upon reading their reviews, I made a phone call. Although the case was difficult, Lucie Prothero and Alice Fitzgerald-Miller were not only professional, from the start, they showed understanding of my situation from day one. Every hurdle we encountered was handled with expertise second to none. The best part was that I felt completely supported throughout. The final result was above and beyond my own expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Pennington Manches Cooper LLP to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar situation through no fault of their own. If I could leave a 10 star review, I most certainly would. Grateful thanks always.

Helped with a claim following my dad's death

My father died as a result of sepsis from pressure sores received in a care home. Having never had to find a solicitor to pursue a claim before, I found it overwhelming. However I found Penningtons and from day one and throughout the process I have received such an incredibly supportive service from Alice Fitzgerald Miller and Lucie Prothero. Everything was explained to me clearly and if I had any questions they could always answer them in a way I could understand legal processes I did not know. Having had this support from them throughout the challenging and emotional process has meant so much to me. I have never felt like just another case file in a pile. So I can say from my experience, from many interactions with them, that they are individuals and a firm I would certainly recommend to help you if you sadly end up in a similar situation to me.

Clinical Negligence

Highly Recommended

Lyndsey Banthorpe, John Kyriacou and Senior Paralegal Kinnari Fowler at Penningtons London dealt with my negligence claim with professionalism and care. The process was explained clearly at every stage and I always felt supported, my concerns listened to and my thoughts and feelings valued. Their support made a very stressful and upsetting process easier to go through. I would not hesitate to recommend them and Penningtons Marches.

100% positive experience

I contacted Penningtons after suffering medical negligence from several medical establishments and they were fantastic in working on such a complex case, resulting in a positive outcome. Hannah Hope and Sarah Hibberd were exceptional during the legal process and their knowledge and expertise was greatly reassuring during this difficult time. They kept me informed regularly and were incredibly approachable and supportive. I cannot recommend them enough.
