Accident Claim

Thirteen months ago, I had an accident in a hotel. Today 18th July payment has been sent to my bank account. To those who do not use the legal system it does seem rather slow. Having said that l found communication with Isra very easy to follow, considering that the legal language on occasion, could come from another planet. All in all highly satisfied with the service provided by Isra and Watermans.

Overall would recommend but definitely room for improvement.

Solicitor handling my case was polite and a pleasure to talk to. She was quick to answer phone calls or return them, however was hard to get a response from via email.

She gave fantastic advice and evaluations on home reports, and when we ran into some troubles at the offer stages she was quick to act and rectify the situation.

Completion day was slower than expected, as she awaited on the sellers side email response instead of calling.

Would recommend overall as the overall experience was fluid and bumps were smoothed over relatively quickly and reasonably.
