I can’t thank Nadeem and Joanne enough for their incredible work on my medical negligence case. From the very beginning they were professional and compassionate and completely dedicated to get justice for me. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a powerful advocate on their side. Thank you Nadeem and Joanne!

Knee Replacement negligence

From the first consultation right up to the final offer we accepted from the defendant, I could not of wished for anyone better than Marcus Weatherby @ Pattinson & Brewer to deal with my case. It was a long journey but we got where we wanted to be.

It was such a pleasure working with Marcus, nothing was too much trouble, I felt at ease and knew I could phone him anytime, had a clear understanding from him right until the end.
Would 100% recommend and use Pattinson & Brewer again.
I would like to thank you all that were involved with my case.
Many Thanks Wayne

Medical negligence

Nadeem has been excellent dealing with my mother's clinical negligence claim. At a very emotional and stressful time I felt fully supported and was kept informed. Nadeem arranged the support of a barrister at the pre inquest and inquest. I received honest prompt answers to any questions. Everything was explained and I feel we got the best outcome possible. Also thank you to Joanne for the compassion she showed and the lengthy time of transcribing the inquest. Would fully recommend.

RTA: Long standing complex case - successful outcome

This has been a long running claim from my initial accident in October 2019 to settlement March 2025, due in part to complexity of injury and a series of surgical procedures requiring recovery. As I was told by my barrister my case was several legal exam questions wrapped up into one. Throughout the last 5 years Pattinson Brewer, and my lawyer Caroline Phelan, have supported me through the process of building my case, by documenting the impact on me and instructing several medical experts. I have had many low points during the process, and asked many questions about process, the law, and my likelihood of gaining a successful outcome, Caroline has acted thoroughly professionally throughout, responding quickly to my queries, and relieving me of my doubts and concerns. I cant thank her enough for the assistance and advice she has given me over the last few years. The outcome of the case in terms of negotiated settlement was excellent and I hadn't really expected it to be so positive. Its a relief to have finally settled following the ups and downs of the case, and I'm now able to look positively to the future, which is testament to the wonderful service provided and the skill and experience of Caroline. Thank you

Excellent service

Marcus always answered my queries in a polite and courteous manner.
He was always happy to translate from legalise to plain english.
Marcus has gone the extra mile for me.
When i was feeling at my lowest, in the pits, it felt like Marcus was in there with me dragging me out.

Fantastic experience working with Emily Bradshaw

My union, Equity, engaged Emily for me (and paid). She was absolutely brilliant - a real pleasure to talk to and always extremely prompt and clear in communication, even outside of office hours (though I would not expect this). She was very supportive, reasonable and human but also smart and tough on the opposition. Would work with her again in an instant. Highly recommend.

Absolutely shocking lack of communication. I sent email after email to my assigned solicitor, regarding evidence and she just couldn't be bothered getting back to me. I eventually wrote to the company, asking that they contact her and ask her to get in touch with me and even they didn't bother replying to my email. I'd serious reconsider hiring this firm to represent you in any way, shape or form. If they are unprofessional enough, not to be bothered with communicating with their clients, I'd imagine they aren't that interested in winning or losing a case in court.

I have had an impeccable experience with this firm and I had nearly lost my workplace injury claim through the Thomsons Solicitors as they had acknowledged their failure last minute because of this , I had changed my solicitor to Pattinson & Brewer and Frances McCarthy had helped me with this situation and I had received a favourable outcome of the situation . Even though , the situation still hasn’t come to an end with Thomson’ Solicitor however I am very confident with Frances McCarthy on my side . She is very amazing and responds rapidly to my queries so I strongly recommend this firm .

Extremely poor communication service.
I have no words to describe how slow they are to provide you an update.
What you don't want is somone working part time to deal with your case and ignore you every time you ask for an update

Is just something you don't need
