First class service from a First Class solicitor

5

Liz has been phenomenal from day one in dealing with a very complex and long ranging case. Liz has a very strong capability of being able to look at matters and understand the situation and facts in issue extremely quickly. Liz Larner’s work and management of cases is truly second to none. Liz deals with matters as soon as they arrive, in a robust and sensible manner, whilst handling her clients with sensitivity and understanding. I can say with absolute confidence that I know Liz Larner has always had my interests at the forefront of her mind when dealing with my case. I feel absolutely safe with Liz dealing with my matter.

I cannot recommend Liz Larner highly enough.

Calm, understanding and knowledgeable

5

When we first contacted Liz with the issue before us, it was pretty daunting, but we were convinced that something had to be done, especially when the Health authority didn't acknowledge any "learning" from their investigation. As such others could have experienced similar problems in their care.
Liz put us at ease from that first contact and it was like discussing the situation with a friend, albeit in this case a very knowledgeable friend.
We have been kept informed at every stage and although I have never met either Liz or Catherine they have prompted us and kept us informed at all times.
When you are faced with a dilemma it's good to know that you can depend on the caring approach that Liz and Catherine offer at Wollens.

First Class service and communication all the way

We were supported in a sensitive claim and the service received took this into account. I could not find any cause for complaint as I felt that the solicitor we dealt with did all that she could in the case and kept us informed of progress at every step, which was important to us. She appeared very knowledgeable and gave us confidence in the process. They advised us clearly and concisely about the final settlement and reasons to accept or negotiate further so we feel that we had the best possible outcome. I would certainly recommend Elizabeth Larner for any similar claim.

Medical negligence claim not proven

3

After suffering considerable pain due to 2 major operations on my shoulder and being left partially disabled as a result, the expert Wollens employed begged to differ and after over 18 months and despite suffering a life changing procedure, decided on the basis of the operation was conducted satisfactorily, despite, in my case, I, the patient, metaphorically died. It would seem the NHS is Teflon coated and finding an expert who deigns to criticise a fellow consultant's work, is a rare beast indeed. Today I can barely touch my left eye as a result of my surgery. Why this should be excused I will never know. I'm desperately disappointed and would not like what happened to me to be inflicted on another patient.

Thank you for your feedback – we appreciate you taking the time to comment. Whilst we are pleased that you have recognised that Elizabeth and the team gave a great service, it is frustrating that the medical evidence obtained was not supportive of negligence on the part of the treating clinicians. Instructed experts are officers of the Court (and not the instructing party), and therefore are duty bound to provide an unbiased opinion based upon their medical experience. Nevertheless, and we are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the outcome of your case. Wollens
