Beware "No win, no fee" doesn't mean "No win, no fee"

Signed up with them get compensation for the failed Woodford investment fund.
I was led to believe this was on a "No win, no fee" basis.
They failed to get compensation but still want a fee.

Left feeling let down and betrayed

I share my experience on here as my experience being a client of Leigh Day, Panagram was such that I would not want anyone to go through what I went through. The initial meeting was filled with promises and assurances that amounted to nothing. The service I received slow and second rate as I was handed a junior person who was away on leave for most of my case which meant that the solicitor in charge overall appeared to have little or no time for my case despite assuming me on numerous occasions that she was 'working very ' my case. I found her attitude unhelpful and short. After a long period of time where I thought and had been led to believe we would be going to court I felt that they bailed on me under the guise of considering the offer I had received was good enough. I felt as if they lost interest - were not on my side - did not fight my corner and when it came to actually doing the work and fighting for my physical and emotional wellbeing in an accident that had nothing to do with my doing anything wrong they gave up. I wish I had never started with them as I spent two years tip toeing in every conversation in the hope that when push came to shove they would come through which they said they would.

An exercise in futility.

After climbing from the wreckage, instructing Leigh Day is like plunging your hand into a blender. This appalling firm is simply not competent and not entirely professional. Proceed with extreme caution. The case started badly and over the following five years there were serious mistakes and failings including the failure to obtain a vital witness statement. This was followed by allegations of lying and dishonesty. The Americans would describes this firm as a 'Yard sale.' So imagine random and unwanted things carelessly strewn about in a disorganised and badly managed manner and you will have an idea of what to expect.

Vehicle emission claim

Complete waste of time, no one responds and if they do then no one has taken the time to read your emails properly. I certainly would not use this company again for anything after the poor service i have recieved. Have now gone to another law firm that is acting on my behalf and delivering a professional service.

Do not come to this law firm. No matter what. I should’ve read the google reviews beforehand

I had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with Leigh Day regarding a medical negligence claim.

Despite the hospital admitting negligence and liability Leigh Day refused to take on our case, claiming it wasn’t likely to succeed. This decision was made after wasting valuable time and raising our hopes unnecessarily.

Their lack of compassion and willingness to fight for justice was appalling. It felt like they were more concerned with their win rate than standing up for a client in need. If you’re seeking help for something as serious and devastating as medical negligence, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Leigh Day clearly prioritizes convenience over accountability, and their lack of effort has left us bitterly disappointed.

I was initially referred to Leigh Day by other victims of the valproate scandal. After reaching out via email a few years ago without response, I recently tried again. Despite multiple attempts to contact the firm, including phone calls where I was either cut off or sent to answerphone and a website contact form, I have yet to receive any acknowledgment or assistance. This lack of response is deeply disappointing, especially considering the sensitive nature of the matter and the courage it took to reach out.

Avoid!!!Time wasters. I was recommended to this firm and regret ever approaching them. This firm Agreed to help me and then ignored all further communication. All of the 1 star Google reviews online are accurate. This is not a professional law firm, please save yourself time and stress. Exercise caution and read all of the reviews or ask people directly. The worst communication, they are not leading experts in anything other than disappointment.
