Thompsons Solicitors LLP

My Dad was diagnosed with Mesothelioma in the autumn of 2021. There was a Macmillan nurse in the consultation room when he was told that it was a terminal diagnosis. This was a huge shock for him as he had always been such a healthy man. We were given a pack to read through when we got home, and it contained a leaflet from Thompson's Solicitors, in Newcastle. We read through the literature and thankfully chose to give them a call to discuss my Dad's case. Joseph Dowey came to Dad's home to meet myself and my Dad and discuss the possibility of a claim against an employer who my Dad had worked for where he was exposed to asbestos. This was by no means a simple task, lots of questions were asked and answers taken through conversation with my Dad. He was 83 at the time and memories were sometimes difficult to recall. Joseph showed nothing but respect and spent lots of time chatting to my Dad. He took work history and statements from him and also as the case progressed took statements from myself and my Brother. It took a long time to gather all of the information together but Joseph kept me informed at every stage ensuring that we knew what was going on. My Dad sadly passed away in May 2022 and Joseph continued to deal with us until the recent conclusion of the case. He was naturally patient, compassionate and kept me at ease. I cannot recommend him highly enough and he is a credit to the Law firm he represents.

I can not rate Thompsons enough. They were kind, supportive and very professional. At a time when I needed support they were there every step of the way.

Mr Peter Richardson took over my personal injury claim and throughout he has been exceptional. Peter provided straight forward advice and negotiated to get the best possible settlement for me. I would highly recommend Peter and Thompsons Solicitors. Peter is professional, knowledgeable, efficient and supportive. He made the legal process less stressful and I cannot thank him enough. I wish him well in his career.

I want to thank Christian for all his hard work supporting me during my case over the last 4 years. He was able to explain to me clearly the process and keep me updated throughout. He was prompt to reply to emails or calls which was very supportive and helpful during a difficult period. I was also provided with a brilliant barrister Helen who supported me, made me feel at ease and took away the pressure of the siruation which made me feel a lot calmer. All round amazing service from the whole team. Thank you for everything!

I’m very grateful to David Mole and the team at Thompsons, who helped me to secure personal injury compensation following negligence of my former employer. They were on hand at all times, professional and gave all the advice needed to make fully informed decisions. I was treated with kindness and respect during a period when I lacked confidence and self worth. I’m externally grateful.
