Exceptional Service and Outstanding Result – Highly Recommend!

I am incredibly grateful to Richard Bate for handling my dental negligence claim and achieving a successful outcome. From the very beginning, Richard was not only professional and knowledgeable but also extremely compassionate, making me feel at ease during a stressful time.

Richard took the time to fully understand the details of my case, explained the process step by step, and kept me informed throughout. His expertise was clear in every conversation, and I felt completely confident that I was in the best hands possible.

Thanks to Richard’s hard work, dedication, and skill, my claim was successfully won, and I received the compensation I rightfully deserved. The whole process was seamless, and Richard’s personal touch made a world of difference.

If you’re seeking a solicitor who is not only highly competent but also genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend Richard. He went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more thankful for his support and expertise.

Once again, thank you so much for your help and guidance.

Paul was absolutely brilliant. This was my first time speaking with a solicitor so was a little unsure what to expect, but he instantly put me at ease. His advice was clear and helpful, but it was his friendly, down-to-earth manner that I really appreciated. Highly recommend.

Outstanding service with Susie

We have been delighted with the work carried out by Susie Roberts in producing a will and a trust for myself and my husband. Susie was sensitive to our religious requirements and very knowledgeable in the complexities of our needs.
I have recommended Susie onto our family and friends and will continue to do so.

Contentious probate

From the very start of my complex case, Paul Fitton was open and honest about the possible outcome whilst at the same time being sensitive to the grief I was going through.
He shared all email communications between himself and the ‘opposing’ solicitor with me and knew exactly which tone to use for each one.
The case was quite a long one, drawn out one, but earlier this year Paul managed to secure most of what my Mums last wishes wanted for me. A huge pressure has been lifted from my shoulders and I can’t thank him and the rest of the team enough.

Have received excellent service and customer care from Alastair at these solicitors. He continued pursuing the case long after I had given up hope, and was extremely professional in the way this was handled up until the successful conclusion of the case. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to others. Thank you for your help.

Recently, I had the great pleasure of meeting Paul Brocklehurst of McHales Solicitors with the objective of writing my Will. Paul and the other members of staff at McHales, were very pleasant, efficient and professional in all their dealings with me. Paul was very informative and extremely helpful in showing me the options and helping me understand the wordings available to me. I would strongly recommend McHales and in particular Paul Brocklehurst when it comes to Will writing.

All I see is reviews of people who have used them for a house purchase so I wanted to leave a review for something different. Adam and Paul worked very hard for me on a personal injury case which contained very difficult circumstances, the case went on for over 2 years and I trusted their advise along the way. What they had achieved for me was life changing and he's still continued to not only fix damages of my past but also allow me to improve the possibilities and circumstances of my future. If you are looking for a solicitors and in doubt of who to go to, I would highly recommend them from personal experience. They were very fair to me and explained everything I didn't understand along the way.

Could not be happier with Marta from McHale and Co. We had some problematic solicitors before this and the switch to her was a breath of fresh air. Dedicated, focused, knowledgeable combined with constant communication made it worth every penny. I would easily recommend Marta to any friends and family who are looking for a solicitor. We got to spend a warm Christmas in our new home and it isn't an understatement to say it wouldn't have been possible without her.
