Hard work paid off

After having my case turned down by another company I turned to thompsons hoping that they would take on my case.
They did and now after a long time we have had the result we wanted.
I cannot thank Joel and the rest of the team that worked on my case enough, they are a credit to thompsons. They supported me continuously throughout and always gave me good information regarding how the case was going and next steps etc.

Personal Injury Claim

Thanks to Joel and the team who successfully took on my claim. I would have received a much smaller settlement amount if I had not contacted them and had they not pursued my personal injury claim. I would highly recommend contacting Thomsons for anyone in a similar situation.
