Matter Type:
Fatal Medical Negligence Claims and Inquests

A truly compassionate solicitor
After watching my mum go through a traumatic experience with medical negligence, I then had to go through the dehumanising process of contacting every single medical negligence solicitor I could — going through the worst thing that’s ever happened in detail, over and over only to be told no. Amy was the first person who truly listened and saw the case for what it was — recognised that mental health is just as important as physical, and that what happened simply should never have. She has been nothing but empathetic and attentive throughout the lengthy process from first signing on to now coming to the end of settlement, has kept me updated at every turn and I can’t recommend her enough.

Tried to see someone on short notice but was only told an appointment for a week's time was available. My situation was resolved by this time so I cancelled. The receptionist is very kind and helpful and has a friendly and very attractive face for greeting people upon arrival.
