Employer's liability claim

My claim was handled by Ian Miles, who I believe did a very good job in getting my employer to offer what I consider to be reasonable compensation.

Praise indeed

I have been totally satisfied at all stages of my claim for personal injury.
The claim was undertaken in a highly professional and efficient manner at all times.
The solicitor dealing with my claim, Ian Miles, has been super efficient and professional throughout the claim.

Excellent outcome

This is the 2nd time in the last 3 years i have had to seek advice from Mr Cook,his intervention on my behalf with the DVLA was excellent the outcome was to my advantage.I myself wrote to them on 2 occasions with no reply over a 3 month period,with 2 letters from ramsdens the situation was sorted out.I am in no doubt that without their help i would still be waiting for a reply from the DVLA.

v personable and empathetic service- clinical negligence case (widow)

Rachel was with me from my 1st contact with Ramsdens and always there for me during my traumatic grief. Rachel supported me through the 6.5 years of this case right from the first telephone contact , at the inquest and through to settlement. The case took it's toll physically and mentally and Rachel and my barrister appreciated the effects of this- she was available to help and offer support.
Whilst final settlement was constrained by statute, my legal team fought as far as able and appreciated that the personal injury trauma (which could not be claimed for was far greater for me as a client).

Medical Negligence

I just want to personally say thank you to Nick Stojanovic, he has been an amazing support throughout this whole process. I contact Nick following what was the most heartbreaking experience I had within a NHS trust. From the onset Nick was approachable and showed great compassion and understanding of my experience and I immediately felt at ease. He had advised me throughout this process and never made me feel like I was too much of a burden with each call and email I have sent. He has given honest and clear advice throughout my claim and has made this experience effortless. I would 1000% recommended him and this firm to people who need honest and reliable professionals. Thank you again Nick.

Absolute hats off to Amber Daly. She has recently assisted us in a commercial property purchase and her service has been phenomenal. I genuinely did not know solicitors like her existed. Fantastic communication and hard work! Thank you again.

Used Ramsdens services for the sale of my property, despite having every issue thrown our way, Jordan and Maria were always brilliant and professional dealing with every problem. They are approachable, responsive and action matters promptly. I will surley use their services for all my future transactions and specifically ask for Jordan to handle the case.

If you want to put your children first and focus on finding solutions in their best interests, then avoid this company. They're more interested in delaying proceedings so they can rake in as much money as possible out of the legal aid pot.

Be wary of using Ramsdens as financial deputy if your loved one's funds get near to the threshold below which a deputy cannot charge more than the fixed annual fee.

Ramsdens Court of Protection(COP) team in Halifax have badly let down my mother for whom I am primary carer. I am in the process of asking various authorities on how to have them investigated for:

- Not responding promptly to urgent request for critically needed equipment to prevent life-threatening heat exhaustion;

- Ignoring questions about moving deputyship to a lower cost solicitor local to where we are now living, abroad, after telling me that Mum's funds are getting low so they need to tighten their belts;

- Going on 'fishing trips' to find any excuse to pause large payments (including the equipment mentioned in first point): First they asked a barrister's opinion, who told them they should continue to fund care as if we were still in the UK, then instead of following the advice, going to ask someone else, whose suggestion of opening a case at the COP they seemed to prefer -- the COP can take years to consider cases, during which time their client would have died of heat exhaustion last summer if I had not personally funded the equipment needed to protect mum from the 40-degree plus temperatures that many elderly people have died of here

I can only assume that Barristers do not give advice for free, so I would like an independent investigation to look into whether and how much they charged from Mum's funds that are under their care, and whether the Barrister in question is often given fees by our deputy, in other words whether there is some mutual back-scratching going on at clients' expense.

UPDATE: Ramsdens have replied below that I am not their client. Given Mum's dementia this basically means Ramsdens are trying to avoid transparency about their work, knowing that Mum cannot sign any kind of power of attorney. Hopefully they won't be able to hide from auditors.
