Very Satisfied Client

In all aspects of my claim, I was kept informed and aware of how the case was going and the positive outcome. Megan Poyser (my main contact throughout) was also very understanding and compassionate about my health state. Would definitely recommend Tinsdills to others.

Shannan was excellent ! He was professional but explained proceedings in layman’s terms for us, he was approachable and only to happy to answer all of our queries and questions. Shannan was really good at following up and checking how things were progressing. We would highly recommend Shannan for any legal problem or service.

Understanding rights when relationship ends.

Karen was extremely professional. I got clear advice that was honest and easy to understand. Karen was able to separate my concerns and focus on the facts giving me a clear understanding of how I can move forwards and put together the mess my personal life is currently. Friendly, efficient I got more reassurance and sensible advice.

I contacted Tinsdills initially, because I required help with an issue that had arisen. The issue has however resolved itself. I would recommend Tinsdills to anyone requiring legal help as their compassion, kindness, friendliness, willingness to help and professionalism, was definitely something that is a rare commodity these days. They were so kind, and should I have any reason to require legal help in the future, I can categorically state, that I would have no hesitation in contacting Tinsdills. The way they dealt with me was definitely a reason for returning. I cannot thank them enough for being there during, what was, a very trying time.
