Fortunately I've never had to seek an injury settlement before.
The process seemed daunting.
Abbi has been most helpful and professional. All my enquiries and my luddite approach to IT were dealt with patiently and professionally.
She informed from day 1 it would be at least 12 months before settlement which set the time frame and allowed me to put it to the back of my mind.
I've enjoyed the calls with Abbi as she was friendly with a sense of humour.

I couldn’t have asked for anymore

Thank you Abbi for all of your help, I honestly couldn’t have asked for anymore. You took away all of the stress that I envisaged my situation would cause, and guided me through a really smooth process from start to finish. I even recall you responding to an email gone 11pm one evening. So a huge thank you to you.

My case was recently concluded by Abbigail Stell from Pattinson & Brewer Solicitors and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Throughout my case, Abbigail demonstrated exceptional dedication and professionalism.

From the very beginning, they took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided clear, comprehensive advice. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, and they always made sure I was informed and comfortable with each step of the process.

What truly stood out was the effort Abbigail put into my case. They were always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and their guidance was invaluable. Their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me was unwavering.

Thanks to Abbigail's hard work and dedication, my case was resolved successfully. I am incredibly grateful for their support and would not hesitate to recommend Abbigail to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Thank you, Abbigail, for your outstanding service!

Absolutely shocking lack of communication. I sent email after email to my assigned solicitor, regarding evidence and she just couldn't be bothered getting back to me. I eventually wrote to the company, asking that they contact her and ask her to get in touch with me and even they didn't bother replying to my email. I'd serious reconsider hiring this firm to represent you in any way, shape or form. If they are unprofessional enough, not to be bothered with communicating with their clients, I'd imagine they aren't that interested in winning or losing a case in court.

A representative from Pattinson & Brewer responded to this review on 07 June, 2024:

We are really sorry you feel disappointed with the outcome of your matter. Please do contact us directly for a further explanation as to the current position.

I have had an impeccable experience with this firm and I had nearly lost my workplace injury claim through the Thomsons Solicitors as they had acknowledged their failure last minute because of this , I had changed my solicitor to Pattinson & Brewer and Frances McCarthy had helped me with this situation and I had received a favourable outcome of the situation . Even though , the situation still hasn’t come to an end with Thomson’ Solicitor however I am very confident with Frances McCarthy on my side . She is very amazing and responds rapidly to my queries so I strongly recommend this firm .

Extremely poor communication service.
I have no words to describe how slow they are to provide you an update.
What you don't want is somone working part time to deal with your case and ignore you every time you ask for an update

Is just something you don't need
