From my first meeting with Richard I felt he really understood and had great empathy with my case . Obviously it was a very emotional and heartbreaking meeting , explaining the circumstances to a stranger but he was so very kind and understanding. He made me feel I was being really listened to and his clear but gentle advise was so very appreciated.

Pleasure to deal with

From start to finish, the company have made us feel at ease. They have been very considerate about our feelings and always allowed us to make choices. Our solicitor, Richard has been brilliant and has been very thorough, with the whole process. Any questions big or small, was never to much trouble for him to answer. Most importantly he gave us so much support, through a difficult process.

From day 1 Richard dealt with us with empathy, understanding and great patientce in support of the situation we found ourselves in. He communicated with us every step of the way, talking to us in a language we understood so we could make informed decisions around how we were to proceed with our negligence claim.

Fantastic company to deal with!
The professionalism and hard work of Richard was outstanding. Despite a very long process, I was regularly kept up to date.
The outcome was very successful and was more than initially expected.
Delighted to recommend, one of the best solicitors I’ve ever dealt with. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have almost closed a case with Brindley Twist Tafft & James, and I'm pleased to say my case was successful and the solicitor (Richard Stanford) was very helpful.

I had injured my right knee as a result of playing football in August 2014, and had surgery on the knee in the spring/summer of 2015. As a result, however, I picked up infection and my knee required a further 5 surgeries after being diagnosed with septic arthritis.

I filled out a form on google about my injury, and I was put in touch with Richard, who I provided details to, of my medical history in relation to my knee. Richard went over these details and immediately established where the faults lay, put me in touch with medical experts (radiology and orthopaedic surgeon), who provided good advice on the case and helped me and my family answer the questions that needed answering.

Richard was thorough in his treatment of my case, and performed his role as a solicitor extremely well in order to help me gain the compensation I deserved - something I will always be grateful for.

Over the phone and by email, Richard was always available. I wasn't aware of this firm before my case, but I certainly am now! Richard has been great for me, but as I can see from the website BTTJ are a firm who specialise in all kinds of negligence, and have a good team of solicitors which Richard is a part of.
