An exceptional job
So I had reached out to YES pi for a claim I have during an accident at work. My case got into the hands of James and he has been super helpful every step of the way. Any issues I had regarding medical bills treatment I would reach out to James and within a few days it was all sorted. James has kept me updated and in the loop during every step of the way. I was happy to finally get to meet him in person and we have successfully now attained compensation. Really really grateful for the help from James and the team, thanks again bud.
A representative from Eaton Smith LLP responded to this review on 28 October, 2024:
Hi Raja, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing feedback! We’re really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and James.

After having a traumatic experience Nick Berry went above and beyond handling our personal injury claim, Nick dealt with everything in a timely and professional manner and was excellent at communicating updates. I would 100% recommend Nick to anyone. If you need a professional, Conscientious Solicitor then Nick Berry would be your person!

My family are selling their long-standing business which is upsetting enough, and we have received an absolutely appalling service. The first solicitor did nothing and then left, and now the same seems to be happening with the second.
They supposedly pride themselves with keeping clients up to date, however my Father currently has no clue what’s happening months after what should have been a quick sale.
To Eaton Smith… as a company you have caused tears and upset which is absolutely unacceptable!!!
