Absolutely Brilliant

5

There is honestly nothing more Matt and the team at GA could have done to improve our experience. Over the six years that we were Matt�s clients nothing was ever too much trouble and we were looked after brilliantly throughout the entire process. In the immediate aftermath of my son�s injury Matt was absolutely brilliant. When you are scared, in shock and have no idea what help you need - you just know you need legal advice - Matt is exactly the person you want! He has just the right balance of compassion and professionalism and has been so patient and considerate during the difficult times. He was excellent at keeping up communication, so that I always felt in the loop with where we were and the next stage that was coming up. When it came to going to court he was fantastic at explaining everything so that there was no fear of the unknown. Even more, Matt provided us with the care we needed as a family - he always knew the right professional to help us with every one of our needs. There is no doubt in my mind that without Matt my son would not be the happy, positive and enthusiastic teenager that he is today. We can�t thank Matt and his team enough for everything they�ve done for us over the last few years. GA Solicitors, and Matt in particular, has truly navigated us through the worst period of our lives with efficiency, superb professionalism and an excellent end result, but most of all with consistent kindness and care. Thank you so much!

I was recommended to use GA Solicitors by another firm, who thought my case was more to GA's taste than theirs. I was dealt with by Matthew Sheather, who I only spoke to by phone a few times, and the rest by email, but he was caring and kept me well informed of what was happening with the long-running case and the details of the no-win, no-fee. Although my outcome in the case was not pleasing to my side, this was due to the available evidence and situation, not GA's work, which was of quality all the way through the time of dealing with the case. I hope you have as much satisfaction with their services as I have.
