From start to finish great service, kept informed on what was happening all the time by emails and even better follow up calls. I couldn't fault anything Robert & staff carried out for me.

The process, through UNISON’s support, though a lengthy one, was very thorough. Robert (& team) have been brilliant in keeping me up to date all the way through the process. I would highly recommend them.

Feeling held througout the whole process.

To find myself in a very difficult position, Thompsons were professional and nothing less than exemplary throughout the legal process. I was treated respectfully, with integrity and as a person and not just another statistic.

Oops, accidentally said this place never contacted me again after first call, that was NOT this place.
This place actually did reply to my email pretty quickly to say sorry to hear about my situation but that unfortunately it wasn't something they deal with.
So I don't really have any proper experience with them but at least them got back to me and seemed nice so giving 5 stars based on that :)

About this branch

Description

Thompsons is an award-winning firm of accident injury and employment law solicitors. We are confident that our team will be able to answer all your queries, provide care and understanding of your circumstances, and, most importantly, help you receive the compensation that you deserve. As a firm, we are proud to say that we only represent individuals, victims of accidents and those suffering occupational illnesses for example, and this is what sets us apart from many other firms. We have a passion for justice and a commitment to our clients that is second to none, and this commitment is demonstrated through the following: We put your interests, and those of your family and loved ones, at the heart of all we do. Our friendly contact centre staff’s first concern will be to find out how you are, and whether we can offer any help, advice or reassurance; we can come and see you at home, in hospital or arrange transport to our offices; we can put you in touch with a wide range of medical professionals, at no cost and with no obligation; we campaign for victims and work with MSPs and MPs to change the law where it fails our clients; we always represent victims, never insurance companies or big businesses. Above all, we always seek to recover the maximum compensation that you are entitled to. We have offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Galashiels, Peebles and Dumfries.

Practice areas

We are best known for our expertise in personal injury claims and are one of the leading firms of accident injury lawyers in the country. Our teams of accident lawyers cover the full range of compensation claims, large or small, straightforward or of the utmost complexity. We win more than 90% of our court cases and obtain over £1 million compensation weekly for our clients. We have offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Peebles, Galashiels and Dumfries and, through our sister company, branches throughout England and Wales. BROAD EXPERTISE But our expertise extends beyond accident claims. We also specialise in employment law, and our solicitors and solicitor advocates have extensive experience in resolving employment disputes of all types. We never represent insurers or big business: we always act for the underdog – the accident victim or worker. Nor do we limit ourselves to dealing with the law as it is - we actively campaign to make the law better, seeking reforms that will help workers, accident victims and their families.
