Personal home visit for an initial assessment which I appreciated as couldn’t travel very well on crutches. Personal service. Realistic advice. Would definitely use again. Chris Chappell was my solicitor. He was excellent. Thank you Chris.

Suing Ryanair

Richard Meggitt’s excellent and helpful article on how to sue Ryanair was wonderful. There was one piece of information I needed to check and Richard did that quickly over the telephone. He also followed up with an email with an amendment to his artiucle because of procedural court changes. I wish all solicitors were as helpful.

Highly recommend

I contacted ASD after being involved in a serious accident that left me with a significant leg injury.

ASD offered a home appointment as I was unable to travel and visited within 24 hours of me contacting them.

Throughout my case I was updated regularly and everything was explained clearly. Any phone calls or emails that I sent were answered quickly and I was never left waiting for a response.

I was supported throughout; I was dealing with a traumatic incident and ASD kindly arranged for counselling to be provided.

I am very grateful to Ralph and his team for everything they did but also showing compassion and giving reassurance throughout and most of all understanding what I was going through.

Assisted with a claim for compensation following a traffic accident

From the first contact with Christopher Chappell, I felt comfortable discussing the accident on my Mother's behalf and during the whole process was kept upto date with what was happening.
I was grateful for the assistance provided by both Christopher and Richard Meggitt following unforeseen circumstances. It was a great help during a bad time.
Would recommend anyone to contact to see if they can help.

I would highly recommend Chris Chappell of ASD: he was very professional but approachable at all times and always up-dated me of the current position. A challenging damages claim, with barriers along the way, but Chris overcame them and reached a very fair final settlement on my behalf. Sue Keelan, Dec 2024.

I can’t thank ASD Solicitors enough for their incredible support throughout my case. After my previous insurer shut down their small claims department and passed me on, I was worried about being left in limbo. Thankfully, ASD took over seamlessly and handled everything with patience and professionalism.

Despite the time it’s taken, they never lost focus or rushed me, ensuring I had the right support along the way. Although I don’t live near their offices, this didn’t prevent them from arranging for me to see a local independent psychiatrist. This was hugely appreciated and incredibly convenient, especially as I was pregnant at the time, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their communication has been excellent—checking in with me, keeping me on track, and ensuring I completed my requirements appropriately and on time, as the claim progressed.

Most importantly, they confidently advocated for me in a situation that was clearly not my fault. Their expertise and dedication resulted in a compensation payout far beyond what I expected—something that will make a real difference to my family as we recover from such a significant road accident.

If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares, fights for you, and delivers results, I highly recommend ASD Solicitors. Thank you again for everything.

About this branch

Description

Accident Solicitors Direct have been helping clients in Sheffield and the surrounding area gain the compensation they deserve since 1984. Originally established as Beresford and Long Solicitors, the company was incorporated to become Accident Solicitors Direct, dealing exclusively with personal injury litigation. Our qualified and experienced personal injury solicitors are dedicated to providing clients with a highly personal service, including face-to-face meetings. We take immense pride in supporting our clients. We never accept referrals from claims management companies, who rarely put the clients’ needs first and have tarnished the image of Solicitors in recent years. For over 40 years we have provided a ‘No Win – No Fee’ service for local people in Sheffield and the surrounding area. During this time, our dedicated Solicitors have recovered millions of pounds in compensation for thousands of clients. We estimate that we have secured damages of more than one hundred & fifty million pounds for local people. When you contact ASD you will deal with a Solicitor, from the initial meeting to the end of the case. Our Solicitors have extensive experience in the area you wish to make a claim, whether this is a serious injury, an accident at work, an industrial disease, or a road traffic accident. We work with a wide range of trusted local experts to ensure our clients receive the maximum amount of compensation possible. We believe it’s vital to meet clients face-to-face and we aim to visit clients in as little as 3 hours, after an initial phone call. This means we generally act for people who live in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Humberside.
