I have dealt with Grant for about two years and my case ended with a positive outcome. All dealings with Grant (and all at Thompsons) have been professional and I was kept updated regularly and in layman's language too. I intend recommending Thompsons Solicitors whenever possible.

My case has been going on now for a relatively long time during which I have had several case workers,sometimes I was not sure if it would ever be resolved. The most recent of which is Daniele Shanks. I could not fault her professionalism and hard work to resolve this case, and I am very grateful to her. I would recommend her.

My partner dealt with them recently about her blood condition. They were very good and kept us up to date with everything, then Angela their lawyer came out to our house to take all the details from us. She was very professional and compassionate as well and helped us through a difficult experience. Can't recommend highly enough

I would highly recommend Michael to deal with your claim. He explained all aspects of my claim process very well and kept me very well informed in a timeous manner. Michael kept things very factual and gave me open and honest advice on how to proceed. My expectations were managed very well at all times.
