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.

Thomsons solicitors was used by my union (unison) when I told them about an incident at work. Nathalie handled my case and quickly managed to handle this. With the workplace this incident was at claiming full responsibility, this was a faster claim. She had mentioned, if I were to reject the offer I was given, I could get more money but since that’s not the reason for this, I went with the original offer. I can’t thank everyone at Thomsons enough!

When dealing with Rhaea she was very good at keeping me informed with all details regarding my case and also gave very good advice even when I wanted to settle my claim due to personal circumstances and advises me against this and 1 week later returned with an improved offer couldn’t recommend her highly enough
