Accident at work

After an accident at work I got in touch with accident solicitors direct and they advised me on what they would do and how they would handle my claim. They were very quick to answer any questions and kept me up to date how things were proceeding I was very happy with how they handled my claim . Would definitely recommend this firm. Thank you.

Excellent service from start to completion

5

I was fortunate to pick Accident Solicitors Direct to represent my brother following a road traffic accident of an untraced vehicle making a claim to the MIB. Richard Meggitt handled the case from start to completion with care, kindness & the upmost professionalism. We were kept informed at every point, the communication was first class, calls and emails were answered promptly. I would recommend Richard and ASD to anyone seeking a claim. The claim doesn’t replace the trauma of a life long disability but brings some closure. Thank you.

Excellent advice

5

As a disgruntled customer of another firm of solicitors dealing with my injury claim, I called Accident Solicitors Direct.
Richard, had to deal with my tears and frustration, he was calm, considerate and professional. His advice was solid and I highly recommend this company. Only wish I had been allocated to this company rather than the shower dealing with my claim.
Thank you Richard

Excellent help from Ralph

5

Ralph Clark helped me with a query regarding a follow-up matter. This was quite sometime after my previous case closed (very successfully) with his colleague Richard Meggitt. Richard had offered me future guidance on a separate matter, that was ongoing after my ASD case closed. Richard's prior litigation in my personal injury case was excellent; I 5* reviewed Richard in the past.

Ralph answered my query, which was very helpful and he did so free of charge; for 5 minutes of his busy schedule. Things like that are the difference between a good business and an excellent one. The latter is ASD Sheffield (5*).

Ralph Clark's advice was clear, concise and very helpful to me. Thanks again to Ralph, Richard and all of the team at ASD Sheffield.

Road traffic accident

5

I had a horrendous life-changing RTA while I was in UK on student-visa. I was very sceptical about filing a claim given my ongoing studies, limited time visa, my general and mental health. But then I happened to see the reviews of ASD and I decided to go ahead. They're so supportive from the day first I met Grace until my claim concluded. Richard Meggitt took my case, did everything timely and always kept me up-to-dated. To be honest in my experience, once they take up your case you don't need to worry about anything. I will totally recommend them to anyone looking for accident solicitors.

Richard Meggitt: Outstanding service.

5

Richard Meggitt, ASD Sheffield, was the driving force in the delivery of a successful litigation.

His adept legal knowledge and resilience was tested by the defence legal experts and he consistently proved that he is both unfazed by difficult litigation processes and steadfast in his approach. Richard brought a long legal case of 4+ years to fruition, with tactical precision.

Richard’s work ethic and approachability was second to none; often providing counsel out of hours when required and keeping me up to date with developments. He is industrious, effective, scrupulous and legally stern, when required, to ensure the case remains set in the interests of the wider picture; Richard accurately predicts the path ahead.

I strongly commend him for his work, which ultimately helps people like me within the UK and regardless of the modest ASD fees, he is certainly worthy of high recognition within ASD, the wider legal community or nationally.
