Melloney’s dedication to making a difference to the lives of those affected by asbestos is reflected in her commitment to achieve the best outcome for her clients, obtaining lifetime settlements where possible, provision for future malignancy, and justice for the sufferer or their bereaved family.

Mesothelioma
I had never even heard of this rare cancer of the pleura until it caused the sudden death of my spouse. I learnt that the disease can take decades to develop following exposure to asbestos, and specialist lawyers understand the law upon which Government redress is based. Boyes Turner do specialise in such cases, and their knowledge and attention to detail were invaluable. Based on my own experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm to clients needing legal help and advice in respect of similar cases relating to mesothelioma.

A good company with great staff
I selected Boyes Turner from a list given to me by an asbestos charity, on the strength of the CV’s of the specialist solicitors. It was a wise choice I feel.
Melloney Harbutt has been great from day one, despite my occasionally disappearing into hospital for emergency treatment. Very supportive, very knowledgeable and very friendly.
The whole process has been made easier for me thanks to their great communication skills and knowledge of the process. Thank you.

Compensation Claim
After much hesitation regarding making a claim and speaking to HASAG. I found Boyes Turner one of HASAG's approved solicitors, I met Melloney who explained the process in plain english and we started the ball rolling, some of the reports where difficult to come to terms with, but all through the process Melloney was supportive and understanding.
As there were multiple parties involved the process took some time which was frustrating, but the final result was very satisfactory.
