Throughout my whole experience with Dean Cruickshanks (Solicitor) I have found the whole experience extremely pleasant. During the time of dealing with this matter
I received nothing but courtesy , I would recommend anyone going through this process to contact Dean, who, will treat them with respect and give them an honest appraisal of the situation.

Mesothelioma
I would like to thank Dean Cruickshanks for his support through my husband’s diagnosis of the illnes and the kindness he showed until the end.
Without his support and knowledge we found he was not just our solicitor but also a good friend throughout.
It was a very difficult time but I knew Dean was
in the back ground if I needed any assistance. With his knowledge I learnt so much.
Again mant thank to Dean and his team.

asbestos claim
My case involved incurable asbestos damage to my lungs. Wolferstans solicitors, especially Dean Cruickshanks and Layla Batchelor, were very helpful and explained everything at each stage.
They acted on a no win no fee basis and at no stage did I feel that I was being taken advantage of. On the outcome, it became clear that their fee was heavy but reasonable. Their promises were exactly what was delivered. They showed and acted with genuine concern that I should get the best and most sensible deal even going so far as to guide me through the Government claim process with no profit to themselves. They did all the negotiating and gave unbiased opinions without any pressure. If the reader has been genuinely injured then I would recommend this team of specialist solicitors to obtain the correct amount of damages. I would have no hesitation in using them.
