Services from Suzanne Laing.

Very professional, polite and nicely spoken and made me feel at ease, as this was a nervous situation for me. There were no complications at all. I thought Suzanne done a great job from start to finish. Thank you.

Excellent legal representation

Following an industrial accident, I sought the advice of Thompsons solicitors, who assigned Shahrez Rashid to my case. The legal representation I received was first-class and my claim was settled quickly as a result. Shahrez and his colleagues were in regular contact with me and made all arrangements regarding my claim, I cannot recommend them highly enough, fantastic job, thank you!

Many thanks

Thompsons took over my case after being with another solicitor.
They took my case on and made me feel reassured at proceeding.
Joel Shaw was the first one I spoke to at Thompsons and was the one I stayed with all the way through my case.I found every step was explained to me in a way I could understand, found the whole process with Joel very professional and thorough and to the point. Can't recomend this company enough very professional and patient as well as experienced in what they do, highly recomend

Excellent service

Lauren was amazing and kept me informed every step of the way.
My accident had taken place quite a while before so trying to remember some of the details was difficult but Lauren was so patient and understanding and I am very grateful to her for all her help.

What a waste of time! I have put so much time in to everything they asked me to do even spending money to get to appointments ect to be told that they are no further forward with the 3rd party and wouldn't feel confident going to court after nearly a year of waiting so disappointing

I am victim witness the service I received
Thomson solicitors was absolutely shocking .
Personal injury case is at courts . Was told
There was no merit in my case this was
Based without seeing medical evidence
In the case. The case is at the courts if there was no merit in the case this would not be at the court. . I would advise anyone looking personal injury solicitor to
Go to another firm. Service at Thompson
Solicitor was below par ..

You just need read there reviews

Absolutely shocking service trauma victim

Fact

It’s up to judge to decide if there is merit
In case not Thomson solicitors

If I could rate this firm no stars I would

Left me waiting months after sending them pictures emails etc. when they finally got back in touch to tell me they weren't going to do anything, they didn't even know my name. Unless you can make them big bucks with no effort, you're on your own.
