From the beginning of my journey with Girlings and Sue, it has been nothing but open, friendly and informative. Every step of the way, Sue went out of her way to help or give me advice. I cannot thank her enough for her hard work on my case.

Best Supportive Lawyer

I was recommended to contact Clare Milne by a friend who knew someone who had used the firm for her NHS negligence and I am very glad that I did so. I was kept informed every step of the way on the progress of my claim, supported by Clare and her team.
I was sent to see top consultants and clinicians to assess all aspects of my injury and negligence by the NHS doctor who severely damaged me during a basic medical procedure.
Clare told me that the case would probably take at least 2 years and it was finally resolved and appropriate compensation offered just under that time frame.
I highly recommend Clare and Girlings Personal Injury Claims to anyone who has been injured by any doctor who undertakes a procedure on them.

Fantastic Service

Having found myself in a position to require legal advice after contracting Legionella I chose Girlings based on clients reviews. I certainly did not regret my decision!

I found all members of staff extremely helpful, and my solicitor Jonathan was a credit to the company. He strived hard to get myself as much compensation as possible and kept me informed constantly of the progress. He was always very approachable and calm and sensitive to my condition and requirements.

My claim has now been settled with a very suitable outcome.

As professional as they get

I have had personal injury solicitors before but nothing compared to my recent experience with Girlings (solicitors) as they were absolutely brilliant.

Raphaelle Davis was so good at what she done for me when it came to getting answers and most of all results, I was ready to give up many a time but this lady kept digging and knocking on the door until she got the right answers and then the results.
I would recommend this company to anyone requiring personal injuries claims.

I was involved in an accident with a car while riding my cycle. I chose Girlings to represent me and I cannot fault the way they have handled my claim. Raphaelle was extremely professional, making sure I understood each stage of the process and always acting in my best interests. I am more than satisfied with the conclusion of my claim and compensation. I would definitely recommend Girlings to anyone needing the services of a Personal Injury Claims Solicitor.

A client

Girlings took on my case (after another firm messed up). The time, patience, professionalism and out right hard work Kate Kennell and her team put into my case was truly outstanding. A true testament to their work ethics and passion for what they do.

From the start, Girlings made haste on all the wrong doings from a previous firm, quickly acting in the sole interest of helping me get my case to the necessary stages that it should have been at the time my case was taken over. With perseverance, endless amounts of persistence and a great amount of diligence they maintained contact with me, ensuring I was always in the know of what was happening at any one moment. Despite the myriad of emotions I experienced through the case, they always remained calm, calculated and caring.

The result of all the hard work by Kate Kennell and her team resulted in a settlement for an accident that was truly life changing.

I would recommend Girlings without a shadow of a doubt, to anyone who has a Personal Injury claim. If anyone is indeed in need of professionalism, knowledge, advice, and a company who go above and beyond to get the best result for their clients then this is the company for you.

If Girlings take on your case, smile and know these professionals will get the job done.

I approached Sue Man at the company who gave me some advice about a potential negligence claim that left my daughter disabled.

I have to say that it was some of the most thorough, but concise information I have ever been given.

Sue's ability to get to the facts with speed are impressive!

Thank you for your time, your empathy and your professionalism.
