Professional service

I contacted Wolverstans in 2025 for help with my hearing claim from the MOD. Alex Nicholson helped me through my entire claim, set up all my tests at the various doctors. My claim was settled out of court and I was really happy with the whole service.

Making of Will

I am housebound, and Wolferstans were more than happy to visit me at home. They even came with a 'witness' once the will was complete. I feel they gave excellent advice and everything was completed quickly.

Clinical Negligence

Thank you to Richard

Richard is an exceptional solicitor. Like many medical negligence cases, mine was far from straightforward. When I initially sought opinions and advice, I was told that I had little chance of proving what had happened to me. Richard took on my case and never stopped fighting for me. He kept going right to the end, despite the inevitable roadblocks and challenges that medical negligence cases involve. What I wanted most was recognition from the NHS that what had happened to me fell below the standard of care I should have received. Richard achieved that for me. He never gave up, even when the case became difficult, and his determination made an enormous difference. Most importantly, Richard is a kind, professional and deeply hardworking person. Throughout what was an incredibly difficult experience, I always felt that I was in safe and caring hands. I will always be grateful for everything he did for me.

James and his team have supported me through my claim for the last eight years. I have felt nothing but assurance and security with them. They have acted always in my best interests with the utmost care and professionalism. I was young when my case began, and when I turned 18, they ensured clear communication and first-class support in helping me understand all that I needed to. I would recommend them highly to anyone who requires their assistance. I am extremely grateful for them.

Clinical Negligence case

Liz and her team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They supported me through a really traumatic sensitive experience and managed this in a really sensitive way at all times. They were professional and the communication at each stage was brilliant. When you are going through a case like this it can feel daunting and at times don’t always understand however Liz and her team were responsive and took time to explain each step along the way. I felt well informed and supported throughout and I genuinely couldn’t thank them enough. I would reccomend to all of my family and friends in terms of my experience.

Elizabeth Smith handled a Clinical Negligence case on my behalf and she was outstanding. So professional whilst also having the human touch with sensitivity. She was so good at making me feel at ease when dealing with such a difficult time in my life. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you so much Liz and Wolferstans.

Protracted CICA Claim

This was a particularly long and drawn out compensation claim due to the total disarray of the CICA. Throughout the process I was never in any doubt that Wolferstans would eventually bring the claim to a successful conclusion. The professional tenacity of the personal injury team was exemplary with Karen Walker being the determined person at the heart of my case.

Prolonged BTL purchase

Very professional and committed service having now finally completed on a BTL purchase which due to the Seller's solicitor instructed (non-local online) taking an age to respond to any enquiry and subsequently going into administration on the set completion day. Wolferstans (Eb & Aimee) insured everything our end was where it meeded to be in good time and with consistent communication as to the revised route to completion.

We used Wolferstans for the sale and purchase of properties, and to write our Wills. On all fronts the service we received from Wolferstans was exemplary! They were in constant communication with us through all the stages, so we always knew where we were in the process, what needed to be done and what we were waiting for. We were able to communicate in which ever way suited us best, email, phone or face-to-face in their offices. We had Aled and Jolanda as our contacts and they were absolutely brilliant!

Brilliant service. Very efficient and the app makes everything very easy to navigate. The team respond promptly to queries and always go out of their way to move the process on. When one person is away they always arrange handovers and let you know who will be staying in touch with you. What could have been a stressful process was made hassle free. Will 100% use them again. A special thank you to Jane Tytheridge and Sophie Page - they are clearly a great team.
