Great service and advice

Redundancy Agreement negotiation to reach an amicable settlement to move onwards. Great sensible advice, knowledge of the legal position combined with great experience, produced a good outcome which was considerably better than the opening offer.

From first contact with Watkins & Gunn the communication has been prompt there was no waiting around for Clive to get back to me. Clive offered good advice and information to assist me in deciding how I would come to an agreement with my employer regarding a settlement. After considering the information given to me I decided to ask for a better settlement agreement which I was awarded.
I would highly recommend Watkins & Gunn to process your case.

I have dealt with solicitors before and they do not reply to any correspondence and when they do you have to chase them up. Clive Thomas (Watkins & Gunn Ltd) kept me up to date with my claim and would always reply to any questions

Review for Clive

5

Clive was absolutely excellent throughout the whole of my personal injury claim, following a road traffic incident. He kept me fully informed at every stage of the process. He was extremely supportive which I really appreciated, as due to the varied nature of the long term, life changing impacts of the incident, mine was an unusual case. Clive and the team at Watkins and Gunn helped me cope with the trauma and stress following the incident and secured the best possible outcome for me. I can’t thank Clive and the team enough for everything they did. I would recommend Watkins and Gunn to anyone requiring supportive, professional legal services.

Clive took the time to listen to my story and also explained the options to me. He didn't just want to 'rubberstamp' things - I felt he really wanted the best outcome for me.

Thanks again Clive.
