Best solicitor

5

I suffered a fall while pregnant and looked into the company for a claim. I have been working with James since the start and I just have to say how lovely he is as a person and how easy he made this process for me. As someone who suffers with mental health , paperwork and understanding things can be quite complicated however James spent the time and effort into helping me and explaining things to me which I really appreciated. I believe the company is a very good company to go with and if you’re looking into a claim definitely to ask for James. Overall he made this process very easy and relaxed for me leaving me with 0 stress which again I highly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the company and especially James to anyone who needs a solicitor.

An exceptional job

So I had reached out to YES pi for a claim I have during an accident at work. My case got into the hands of James and he has been super helpful every step of the way. Any issues I had regarding medical bills treatment I would reach out to James and within a few days it was all sorted. James has kept me updated and in the loop during every step of the way. I was happy to finally get to meet him in person and we have successfully now attained compensation. Really really grateful for the help from James and the team, thanks again bud.

Amazing from start to finish, I had the pleasure of dealing with James Johnson, who was highly professional throughout. He gave perfect advice and made the process easy. I didn't struggle to get answers, he managed to get me the best outcome possible and was fabulous to deal with. I highly recommend this firm of solicitors because of James and should I have the misfortune of requiring help in the future I wouldnt hesitate to come back. Hopefully not! But thankyou so much for everything you have done. You are top class. If I could give more stars I would.

Mr Johnston is very knowledgeable and highly professional. Dealt with my claim carefully and sensitively. Prompt with communications in conveying updates by emails and other means. I highly recommend Mr Johnston to anybody who is looking for a good lawyer in dealing with personal injuries of not their fault.
