I cannot thank Alex Barley enough for his incredible support with the clinical negligence claim following the tragic passing of my wife. My wife was incorrectly administered a Grade 4 (major harm) dose of Alemtuzumab instead of her prescribed medication, and sadly passed away seven months later. Throughout this incredibly painful and complex process, Alex was exceptionally professional, empathetic, and kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, we achieved a satisfactory result. I highly recommend Alex and the services of Slater Heelis during such difficult times.

Road traffic accident with an injury needing a hip replacement

Very prompt response. Simon Adamson engaged and listened attentively to my parents and worked at a pace that my parents were comfortable with. He explained the process clearly and simply. Simon always communicated on a regular basis and was approachable and available. 10 out of 10 for everything he did. Very respectful and courteous and an asset to your practice.

Exceptional Support and Outstanding Service

Simon Adamson provided outstanding support throughout my mum’s personal injury claim following her Uber accident. As my mum is an international citizen, the case involved additional complexities, but Simon handled everything with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and patience. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed, explained every stage clearly, and was always available to answer our questions. His communication was excellent, and he made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier to manage, despite the challenges involved. Thanks to Simon’s dedication and hard work, my mum’s claim was successfully resolved, and the compensation was received without any issues. We are truly grateful for his commitment, attention to detail, and the care he showed our family from start to finish. I am extremely grateful for everything Simon did for my mum and our family. His professionalism, dedication, and support were greatly appreciated, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent solicitor.
