Medical negligence. A very positive result

I cannot speak highly enough of Tim Fraser's exceptional service at Bower Bailey Solicitors. Tim's expertise and dedication were instrumental in securing £28,000 in compensation from St George's Hospital Tooting for medical negligence. The case stemmed from a misdiagnosis of septic arthritis, which necessitated emergency surgery and ultimately led to a total hip replacement.

What truly sets Tim apart is his meticulous approach to the case. He arranged for an independent assessment of the injury, which resulted in a payout £4,000 higher than initially anticipated.

Throughout the entire process, Tim exhibited a no-nonsense calm demeanour that instilled confidence and reassurance. His professionalism and diligence were evident at every stage, providing invaluable support during what was undoubtedly a challenging time.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Tim to anyone in need of legal representation. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication make him a standout choice for anyone seeking justice and compensation.

Conor is an excellent conveyancing solicitor

We recently had the pleasure of Conor Ducie's conveyancing service for the purchase of our property after he came highly recommended in the local area. Conor was excellent throughout the process, very thorough, efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. He chased up the sellers' solicitors repeatedly without us requesting this, and gave us excellent advice to ensure we left no stone unturned and to 'future proof' things for the house. Couldn't ask for more during one of life's more stressful experiences! Highly recommended!

Successful case against the NHS

Suzanne, was extremely professional in the way she successfully handled my case against the NHS. At every turn I was updated and superbly advised. Nothing was left to chance in covering all options as to be ready when NHS delayed communication, as was expected.
After every telephone conversation. I was left in no doubt, that with patience we would be successful. An excellent and rewarding experience.

Very happy with the service received

I have used a different Solicitor in Oxford before and I am so pleased that this time I paid up slightly for Bower & Bailey. Dominic Nanchahal has done an excellent job for me and I would highly recommend him to others. He worked efficiently and adequately. We completed on our purchase without any delays.
