really happy with outcome
Chris Thomson helped me with a historic abuse case which was 45 years old and done a really good job at getting a offer. He persevered even with he lack of evidence and the time scale and the abuser being dead which in my eyes makes him a superstar. Thank you for all the help I received I am really happy with the outcome

Always gave me hope and you always sound positive about getting a result.
Hi Chris, I am writing to say thank you for the long and arduous process you undertook on my VWF. I have to admit that in the beginning I was never hopefully of any result, especially after our meeting with Elizabeth in Leeds. However your subsequent telephone conversations always gave me hope and you always sound positive about getting a result. I hope you can sort out the legal costs quickly and without too much hassle but then again it is all part of the game isn't it. Every future success for you, your family and company. Best regards, David.
