Excellent Service and Exemplary Communication

I am dealing with a matter with Elizabeth Larner and I have found her to be efficient, supportive, helpful and exceedingly knowledgeable.
Liz has guided us through the intricacies of a medical negligence case and has kept us updated at all times whilst providing suggestions and her professional guidance as and when needed.
I would not hesitate in recommending Liz and Woolens.

Exceptional knowledge with support and compassion

Liz has been assisting me with my claim and throughout the whole process she has been professional with great knowledge and advice. She is happy to explain everything to me more than once, it’s such a long process that I do forget what happens next etc. Liz has not only shown great professionalism but she extends kindness and empathy understanding how traumatic this journey can be for her client. I have done, and would not hesitate again, to recommend Liz to anyone.

Excellent throughout

I came to Liz having gone through a difficult medical time. Straight away she listened and explained the whole process putting me at ease. The process so far has been extremely well managed and treated with the sensitive nature that was needed. I would recommend Liz to anyone needing help with a medical negligence claim.

First class service from a First Class solicitor

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.

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 investigations, and as such, others could experience similar problems when in their care.
Liz put us at ease from that first contact and it was like discussing the situation with an old friend, albeit in this case a very knowledgeable old friend.
We have been kept informed at every stage and although we have never met 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.
