Successful Challenge to Local Authority

Solicitor Emma Tyrer assisted me to successfully challenge a decision by a local authority. After a thorough research of legal precedents she composed a convincing challenge which was quickly accepted by the local authority without the need for litigation. The responses of Ms Tyrer to my queries were fast and to the point enabling the matter to be closed within a much shorter time than I had anticipated. I am very satisfied with the service of Wollens.

Professional and Thorough

Monica O'Neill, and Hannah Venn-Munns before her, have both shown exemplary and thorough care with dealing with a boundary dispute raised against me. Their responses have been kindly and reassuring, when I (and my late husband) was at my most vulnerable. Being consummate professionals, they have given impartial and timely advice at all stages of this lengthy and ongoing affair, in the course of which they have also revealed aspects of the matter that wouldn't have occurred to a non-professional. I will be forever grateful. A shout-out, too, to Jonathan Dickson, who ably assisted me recently with the rewriting of my Will.

Guarantor dispute mediation

I was being pursued by a residential property landlord's agents for rent arrears for a property whose condition was deemed unfit for habitation even by the local council; the tenant I was guarantor to had even been allowed to break contract early because of the failure of the property agent and landlord to make the property habitable. Mr Kennedy Lugg was able to gather related timeline material to compose a coherent challenge to the agent's insurers, clearly pointing out breaches of contract on the landlord's and agent's parts, and the failure of the agent's lawyers and insurers to review my submitted evidence challenging their claim, as they should have, before pursuing me further. I was very impressed and reassured by the responsive and sensitive service provided and the outcome.

Clinical Negligence

Outstanding Support and a Successful Outcome

I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough. She handled my medical negligence case with professionalism, compassion and genuine care from start to finish. Going through a medical negligence claim was incredibly stressful and emotional, but Catherine made the whole process much easier. She kept me informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, answered all my questions and always made me feel that my case was being taken seriously. Catherine’s knowledge, dedication and attention to detail were outstanding, and her hard work ultimately resulted in winning my case. I am extremely grateful for everything she did for me and for the support and reassurance she gave me throughout what was a very difficult experience. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Catherine to anyone considering a medical negligence claim. She was professional, caring, approachable and determined to get the best possible outcome. Thank you, Catherine, for everything you did for me.

Rachel is more than a solicitor - a truly incredible person.

I honestly cannot put into words how incredible Rachel and Ilke have been throughout what has been, without a doubt, one of the most difficult and emotionally devastating periods of my life. From the very beginning, they treated me with compassion, kindness and genuine understanding. They never made me feel judged, dismissed or like I was just another case. They listened to me, even when I was overwhelmed by emotion, struggling to find the right words or simply couldn’t keep myself together. They were incredibly patient with me and always gave me the time and space I needed. Their professionalism and knowledge were exceptional, but what made them truly stand out was the humanity they showed me. They understood how frightening and heartbreaking the situation was for me, and they consistently made me feel heard, supported and believed in. They explained things clearly, answered my endless questions and were there to guide me through every step of an incredibly complicated and frightening court process. Rachel and Ilke went above and beyond what I could ever have expected from my legal team. I never felt like I was facing everything alone. Their compassion, dedication, patience and unwavering support meant more to me than they will probably ever realise. There were moments when my emotions were incredibly strong, but they never made me feel like I was “too much”. They met me with patience and kindness every single time. That is something I will never forget. I genuinely could not have asked for two better people to have beside me during such a horrendous chapter of my life. Rachel is not only an exceptional solicitor, but a compassionate, caring and genuinely wonderful human beings. And likewise for Ilke. I will forever be grateful for everything they have done for me and my family. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Five stars really don’t feel like enough. Without them, I do believe that my daughter would not have been returned home.

Abbie was an absolute star throughout my divorce. During what was inevitably a stressful and sometimes overwhelming process, she was consistently efficient, responsive, patient and incredibly kind. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble and I always knew that if I contacted her, things would be dealt with. What really stood out was the combination of professionalism and genuine warmth. Abbie understood that behind all the paperwork and legal correspondence was someone going through a very difficult period of their life, and that human touch made an enormous difference to me. She was calm when I wasn’t, reassuring when I needed it and incredibly dependable throughout. Having Abbie there alongside Deborah made me feel that I had a team genuinely looking after me rather than simply handling a case. I am hugely grateful for everything she did for me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
