Massive thanks to Laurence who put so much effort and work into my late husband's medical negligence claim. He has explored every venue and explained every step of the process, offering great advice on the actions I could take at each point. Totally honest, very professional and efficient.
Many thanks!

Laurence managed my expectations and then exceeded them,he explained every part of my claim and felt I could and did ask for clarification when legal terms used. These he put into layman's terms. I would recommend that if you have an injury claim he is your man.

compensation, financial advice and will writing

Laurence Daniels was execellent and could not have achieved a higher accolade.
Karen was extrememly helpful in helping me to write my will. Unfortunately due to holidays, sickness and not all being skilled up meant that my Financial advice took a long time to get and my queries were unable to be answered until the key personnel returned. I was disappointed that I was promised to be phoned that day or the and I had to ring again in two weeks. This time Karen took the lead and found the information I needed.

Whilst I realise I am out of your area, I would have thought that there would be some sort of directory of excellent Financial advisors throughout the country. I was also only given one to try. However, maybe that was could be offered.

I do think that Coles could be excellent in more areas. A lot of work was done by Laurence and it is not his field of expertise. He was trying to help me and eleviate my distress.

Laurence Daniels has to be number one in his profession. He handled my accident claim with true professionalism and sheer grit resulting in a successful conclusion. There was excellent communication throughout. The entire process was stress free due to the thorough, straightforward, timely service. I can't praise Laurence enough; he was unwavering, confident and on the ball- a safe pair of hands. I had faith in the whole process from start to finish. A very helpful, pleasant and polite service.

Laurence Daniels handled my personal injury claim impeccably. His communication skills are exceptional, breaking down legal jargon and process at each step of the way. I had the feeling right from Instruction that if Laurence couldn't do it - nobody could! We were dealing with a particularly difficult, non compliant and unsavoury character, but we got there. Thank you, Laurence. Justice was served. I couldn't have done it without you and I'm grateful. If you should ever find yourself in need of a personal injury solicitor, without reservation and wholeheartedly, I would recommend Laurence Daniels.

I was so impressed with all the advice and guidance given to me by Laurence at Coles Solicitors.

He was very clear and encouraging at all times and put me at ease when I asked for clarification of matters to do with my case.

I am so grateful that he agreed to represent me in quite a tricky case and that he believed in justice being done.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this company's service to anyone, and in particular Laurence is second to none.

Despite a late instruction from myself Laurence Daniels worked miracles to meet the timescales allowed and deal with my case. He is very open and keeps the client fully informed throughout the proceedings, giving them all options available to them to allow them to make fully informed decisions.

I would have no hesitation in utilising the services of Laurence again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
