Medical claim

Carolle and later Emma were excellent supporting us in a lengthy medical negligence claim that has resulted in a favourable result. Everything was explained to us and we were kept informed throughout the long process. Thanks to Carolle, Emma and all the team involved.

Melanie was my first contact at Nelsons and from Day 1 she has supported and encouraged me with what has been an arduous 2 year journey against my abusive ex. Hand on heart, I am so very grateful for all she and Nelsons have done for me to get me such a successful outcome. She has been instrumental for me in reclaiming my life and for the first time in over 20 years, I am finally free and able to live on my own terms. I cannot express how much she has done for me. Thank you

Emma has been incredible during the latter part of my divorce and financial settlement process. She has overseen every aspect and went above and beyond communicating with me whilst on holiday, at weekends and evenings. Her invaluable knowledge, care and attention have made a huge difference in my case and I shall forever be grateful for this.

I cannot recommend Julia Kolomiiets of Nelsons highly enough. She has been professional and efficient throughout my divorce and financial settlement process. She has communicated well, been supportive and managed my expectations. Her knowledge and work has always been of the highest quality and I would not have achieved the excellent results that I did without her.

Best by far

I’ve worked with Jane numerous times on property acquisitions and disposals and she is far and away the best I’ve worked with. Value for money and quality service every time, and her personal touch makes the experience a pleasure.

Amanda Voakes helped me prepare my Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney for my husband and I. She was very helpful, professional and friendly on our zoom meetings and went through every aspect in great detail for us. She was extremely efficient and made all the instructions very clear for us and was available to answer any queries. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
