Exceptional service. Highly recommend.

This review is for a different branch.

I can’t thank Rabina, Brian and their team enough for the exceptional service they provided throughout my long personal injury case.
From the beginning they took the time to explain every step of the process and kept me informed every step of the way. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my well-being and not just the case itself.
Their knowledge of law and the level of care gave me the confidence to trust them and after almost 3 years they managed to secure a fair settlement for me.
A heartfelt thank you especially to Rabina who originally took on my case. She showed genuine care and I felt confident from the start that I had chosen the right solicitor.
I highly recommend Girlings and I am grateful for all their hard work.

Compensation claim

This review is for a different branch.

I had received advice from Girlings a few years ago so felt confident to talk to them again after being involved in a car crash that resulted in a fractured spine and major back surgery. Girlings took on my case on a no win no fee basis. The process was made as clear and easy as possible and I received very good advice and guidance from Raphaelle. I would definitely recommend Girlings services going forward.

Following the death of my partner, Sue Man at Girlings was outstanding in handling my clinical negligence claim. Sue demonstrated genuine care, empathy and support throughout a very difficult time. At every stage, Sue communicated the legal process and terminology with patience and clarity, to ensure my understanding was clear. Her expert knowledge and commitment to my case resulted in an outcome that far exceeded my expectation.
I am truly grateful to Sue and would highly recommend her services to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Medical Negligence Claim

This review is for a different branch.

I can honestly say, that I have received the best service from Brian Cowell, of Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd. I was undecided about making a claim for medical negligence and waited many months before taking advice. After supplying as much detail and evidence that I could, Brian was able to confirm that I did have a case. His attention, help and advice throughout helped me to remain confident. I was kept updated on all aspects throughout, and received honest feedback to help me make that final decision to settle. The final settlement achieved was as hoped for.
Although I never met Brian personally, I would happily recommend his services, and indeed Girlings.

I experienced a Trip and Fall.
After my initial enquiries regarding liability it was obvious that this was a legal mine field.
I contacted Girlings Personal Injury Claims and was referred to Raphaelle Davies. From that moment until a successful conclusion I was kept informed and treated with the utmost of respect and regard.
I would not hesitate in recommending Raphaelle.

I was involved in an accident with a car while riding my cycle. I chose Girlings to represent me and I cannot fault the way they have handled my claim. Raphaelle was extremely professional, making sure I understood each stage of the process and always acting in my best interests. I am more than satisfied with the conclusion of my claim and compensation. I would definitely recommend Girlings to anyone needing the services of a Personal Injury Claims Solicitor.

Girlings took on my case (after another firm messed up). The time, patience, professionalism and out right hard work Kate Kennell and her team put into my case was truly outstanding. A true testament to their work ethics and passion for what they do.

From the start, Girlings made haste on all the wrong doings from a previous firm, quickly acting in the sole interest of helping me get my case to the necessary stages that it should have been at the time my case was taken over. With perseverance, endless amounts of persistence and a great amount of diligence they maintained contact with me, ensuring I was always in the know of what was happening at any one moment. Despite the myriad of emotions I experienced through the case, they always remained calm, calculated and caring.

The result of all the hard work by Kate Kennell and her team resulted in a settlement for an accident that was truly life changing.

I would recommend Girlings without a shadow of a doubt, to anyone who has a Personal Injury claim. If anyone is indeed in need of professionalism, knowledge, advice, and a company who go above and beyond to get the best result for their clients then this is the company for you.

If Girlings take on your case, smile and know these professionals will get the job done.

I approached Sue Man at the company who gave me some advice about a potential negligence claim that left my daughter disabled.

I have to say that it was some of the most thorough, but concise information I have ever been given.

Sue's ability to get to the facts with speed are impressive!

Thank you for your time, your empathy and your professionalism.
