Ask for Estelle! Top rated solicitor! You won’t be disappointed!

Estelle surprised me as I’ve worked with all types of solicitors over the years and I found she has been the most professional and efficient. She targets any faults or issues quite quickly and responds on time that helped the process a lot, put me at ease that I didn’t have to keep requesting things or asking for advice, I was kept fully aware at all times, she is truly the best solicitor who knows her work and works with passion you couldn’t want or ask for more than that especially after having an accident..some of us experience trauma and other issues ie prolonged injuries etc and I appreciate Estelle truly taking quick action on sending me to all of my assessments and advising to receive the care I needed at the time she is the best it has changed my whole prospective on injury lawyers and solicitors on a whole. You’re lucky to have Estelle working with your firm and she should be treated as a top rated solicitor as she treats all her clients like they are top rated clients I loved my experience which I can’t believe I’m saying considering the circumstances lol but thank you Estelle you deserve a raise and like I said in the email that I am so pleased with Estelle’s work and the firm she works for that I am willing to donate to the firms choice of charity also please thank you all and keep being YOU Estelle. Thanks again

Outstanding personal service

I just want to say a massive thank you to the amazing people who have assisted me during the past year or so. Nicole McCrann especially, she has been such an amazing help and always reassured me and answered any questions whether they were silly or needed more detail. I suffer with mental health issues and to have people in my corner who was able to adapt to my needs and my sons needs has been fantastic and you guys have made this process so much easier for me. Me and my son appreciate everything you have done with all our hearts.
Thank you so much for everything

Fantastic Solicitor - Estelle Gallagher

Estelle supported us for over 18 months during our ongoing case. She was always on the ball, gave us regular updates, sorted out medical appointments that we never had to wait long for at all. Her communication was always prompt and she explained everything to us clearly at every stage. We could not have asked for more from a solicitor. I could not recommend Estelle highly enough! Thank you for everything.

Joe has been with us since the beginning. He understands the practical and emotional needs of not only the claimant but of the family too. He remains calm and practically helps at every step of the way, with guidance and empathy.
His attention to detail and memory for detail is impeccable and this is what’s needed to gain the best possible outcome which is what Joe done for us. We will be forever grateful.

Great care despite complexity.

We had a complex and lengthy case regarding a road traffic accident. All involved had great skill and professionalism when dealing with the challenging legal side, which included multiple court cases across a span of 3 years. Also very candid in their communication and never hesitated in using more colloquial language when describing the legal terminology.

Professional and Friendly service!!

We were referred to Horwich Cohen Coghlan Ltd after our son was unfortunately involved in a road traffic accident, as expected these kind of incidents can take a long time to reach an end point but from the first introduction to the great team of legal experts up until the conclusion we were kept informed and updated throughout, we found each member of the team involved (special mentions to Nicole McCrann, Emma Neild and Lisa Anwyl !!!) to be friendly, approachable and professional and every aspect of the case was dealt with promptly and efficiently to give the best possible outcomes for success, we would not hesitate to recommend Horwich Cohen Coghlan Ltd to friends and family in the future !!

Extremely Professional

Following a head on collision in 2019 with an uninsured at-fault driver I was recommended HCC. I was assigned a fantastic solicitor, a Mr Joe Speed who was was professional and genuinely invested in my case. I required major surgery which impacted my career. Although the case did carry on for a good while (during Covid) and it seemed like there was a lot of hold ups due to the heel dragging of the Motor Insurers Bureau and the courts chasing the other driver to resolve the case, Mr Speed was able to secure a very complete and comprehensive settlement figure for me that will hopefully secure my financial burdens when further surgery on my injuries is required.

I highly recommend HCC and in particular, Mr Speed and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

They gave me Michelle Weaver as solicitor. Since I been given her she start to abuse me financially making charges which are never been clear.
Even I asked at beginning to be clear with charges, wrinting on email all the charges, I also Pray her to limit outlr relationship only for trustee bank account.
But she offer help for dealing with an issue not related to trustee bank account, ans I didn't know she was charging, cause she was all the time saying " Giuseppe I'm here to help, I only want to help". But Help doesnt mean charging 3k ? I help sono many people while I used to work for NHS before have an road bike accident and be permanent disable, I never charge for help people. Her charges never been clear, an email should have written down an cost , specially for me which I have a brain injury.
Why trustee bank account became an cash machine for lawyers. Why we keep be considerated parassiti of this society and
Keep to get abused by this people only because we are disable? Why we get blamed for all the problem this country has? Why?

Had Joe Dodman and his team representing me for a motorbike accident I was involved in a couple years ago and I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. Updated me when it was relevant and was very clear in their communication throughout the whole process, couldn’t recommend them enough
