    So professional but welcoming

    Clare has so much experience in the field of clinical negligence that she hand picks the right experts including the barrister for the case. My case was prolonged and it took 41/2 years to settle but not through the fault of Girling’s. However, I was thoroughly happy with the claim awarded at the end of the day and it is testament to both Clare Milne’s professionalism and that of our barrister Rory Badenoch that it was settled to my satisfaction. The financial outcome will make me and my wife’s remaining years just a bit more comfortable to bear. The whole team at Girlings were brilliant so thanks to Clare, Michelle and Madeleine for their service.

    Clare Milne and her team held my hand, provided continual strength and guidance and managed the difficult process of claiming for a life changing event I never expected to happen. Taking legal steps wasn’t an easy decision and it was such a relief to have someone with Clare’s professional knowledge and experience lead the claim on my behalf. I would thoroughly recommend Clare and Girlings to anyone looking to engage a solicitor in this sector.

    Claim

    My solicitor Raphaelle was amazing, I would highly recommend her. From the very beginning, she was professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Her persistence and hard work to conclude my claim was very impressive and very much appreciated. I was informed at every stage, and explained everything which made the process stress free. My claim has now come to a successful conclusion. Thank you very much to everyone involved at Girlings.

      5 star service

      Girlings have been dealing with my daughters accident claim for the last 3.5 years and then they took on my claim in relation to my daughters accident. Raphaelle has been exceptional dealing with my claim and I cannot fault her in anyway. She was always so understanding, knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. I am dyslexic so I found the overload of paperwork very overwhelming, after expressing this to Raphaelle she put me straight at ease and adapted the paperwork so it was more manageable for me to be able to understand. She was extremely helpful, kind, respectful and a dependable communicator. I can’t thank Raphaelle enough for making what could have been a very stressful time very stress free. Thank you

      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.

      A client

      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.

      Not hassled once, very understanding and patient and always kept me in the loop. I wasn't going to bother with a claim but by God am I glad I did, Raphaelle at Girlings Canterbury was my solicitor and she was awesome and took care of matters allowing me to try and recover physically and mentally 5 gold stars. Thank you for your help and guidance Pcm

      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.
