Fatal Medical Negligence Claims and Inquests

Medical Negligence helped to get answers and secure positive outcomes

Last year my wife passed away whilst in a mental health hospital. Initially, the NHS Trust tried to justify the circumstances and did not seem to acknowledge their failings in keeping my wife safe. So without Irwin Mitchell's help, the family would not have got the answers we deserved.

The Irwin Mitchell team (Thomas Riss-Bristow, Larrisa Harpley & Adam Wisman) were brilliant from the start, helping to gather all the required evidence, liaising with the Coroners office and the NHS legal representatives and then supporting the family during a week-long Inquest and the following legal discussions that came after. The team were professional, compassionate and caring throughout and I would highly recommend Tom and the team as they were key in helping us to get answers during these traumatic times.

Messed about and ripped off

appointed these following a dispute with a kitchen retailer who took my money upfront and failed to complete the job
They have ripped me and my insurance company off for approximately 50 grand taken almost 3 years to achieve nothing, had me pay out over £2500 for independent inspection reports all 100% favouring my claim and have now walked away after myself and my family have lived and suffered in a partly fitted kitchen and they advised me to leave it in such a Way as to give the retailer a fare chance to come back and compete the works

The company that carried out the report also dealt with legal matters and they quoted 5k to take the case on however I’d already engaged with Irwin Mitchell

To say it’s not fair is an understatement

Better and cheaper options out there!

Be careful as to whom you put down as an executor of a will because if it's a solicitors the charges for probate/dealing with the estate "could" run into thousands as per the experience here, and it's difficult to nigh impossible to remove them without having to go through a court. Whether it's charging by the hour or charging a percentage of the estate I am sure many don't realise how much this will cost because of course when you write a will you may have no idea of the fees that they will charge. So my advice is if your loved one has made a will through a solicitor maybe an uncomfortable conversation may be best to avoid a massive shock later. We will never know if using Irwin Mitchell as an executor was the wish of our loved one or if possible (alleged) "persuasion" was a factor when the will was being set up. I know our loved one would be horrified if they were still here.

Great Service

From the first call with Daniella Colton, she was so supportive which made me feel settled about the choices I had to make. Because of this, I chose to go with Irwin Mitchell for this reason and she was fantastic right to the very end making sure I fully understood everything along the way.

Thoroughly recommended

Caroline Shelton of Irwin Mitchell has been my solicitor for a number of years and is an expert when dealing with Wills and Probate. Over the years Caroline has dealt with my instructions in the most professional way and has always given me excellent advice and guidance. Some of my queries have seemed insurmountable to me but Caroline has explained any issues in a way that I have been able to make an informative decision regarding my Will. I can thoroughly recommend Caroline Shelton of Irwin Mitchell to anyone that requires a competent, professional person who understands the complexities of preparing a Will and then proceeding to Probate. The fees charged by Irwin Mitchell are fair and relevant to the amount or work carried out by Caroline Shelton.

Useless

Completely incompetent, we are trying to buy a house that these people are supposed to have started the probate application on 6 months ago. Our scoliciters today, after 2 weeks of trying to get an update, informed us that Irwin and Mitchell Chichester hadn't even applied for probate yet, and were planning on maybe doing it this week if they feel like it I guess? What have you been doing for the past 6 months! To anyone out there, If you are thinking of buying a house and these people have anything to do with it, walk away! Equally, If you are thinking of hiring them DON'T! They are utterly useless! Worse than useless!
