A bad experience, made simple.

After being in an RTA last year in November, I found that I needed help when claiming for damages loss of earnings.
My experience of Russell and Russell was made simple, Aamenah was in touch regularly, and gave me update. She helped me navigate the different websites on how to claim where to claim and how
To deal with my loss of earnings.
