Exceptional expertise & service

I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided; from our initial consultation to the steps to tackle our case. Our solicitor demonstrated an impressive level of experience, expertise, and above all compassion.

They made the entire process stress-free, explaining every step in clear terms and keeping me updated on the progress of my claim. Their attention to detail and commitment to securing the best possible outcome for me was evident throughout. I always felt reassured that my case was in capable hands.

Thank you.

Personal injury due to medical negligence

Solicitor Kate worked my case over a period of time, despite the challenges of the case.
She worked diligently to plow through reams of medical information, but also more importantly listened to me, the person with the experience of being injured through medical negligence by specialist consultant. Kate communicated well, keeping me updated at every stage of the process.

We wholeheartedly recommend Kate Campbell-Gunn

I highly recommend Kate Campbell-Gunn.
I contacted Kate at a time where, due to clinical negligence, I had no trust in professionals and was extremely traumatised. Straight away I felt at ease with Kate, I trusted her, felt her empathy and knew she would do all she could do help. She worked so hard for us in what ended up being a three year case, always keeping us up to date, advising on next steps and putting us in touch with the best clinical experts. Often in sensitive cases involving childbirth, PTSD causes a lot of self-blame and guilt. Kate knew that the admittance of negligence was vital for us, and she achieved this as well as a settlement far beyond what we were expecting. In short, I am so happy I got in touch with Kate and trusted her to work on our case.. doing so was life changing. Thank you Kate, we are so grateful.

Excellent outcome for a complex case.

Kate was extremely dedicated and determined to achieving a positive outcome for what was a lengthy and complex case.
I would highly recommend Wilkes Partnership for acting on medical negligence claims, they are both professionall and understanding of the clients needs.
They also offer a direct initial consultation unlike other firms that advertise on television.

I am so grateful for the work that Jackie undertook regarding my case. I was kept updated and given step by step guidance throughout the process. Would definitely recommend the service carvers have provided to me, and for anyone out there that are looking for Solicters to resolve issues. Thank you so much for everything and all your support and help.
