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.

Being somebody in the property business im well used to doing business with conveyancers having sold 4 properties in the last 4 years.on 1st Dec. 2024 I accepted an offer on a leasehold apartment,having already had a quote from Ramsdens I instructed them to proceed with the conveyancing,within 4/5 days I had completed all the forms,paid a disbursement fee,provided deeds and everything else that they needed to proceed.
They said that they would contact Together Housing for the Leasehold pack and when they get a response about the fees they would contact me for the funds.
When I hadn't heard anything from Ramsdens for 7 weeks I assumed the Leasehold pack had been paid directly by Ramsdens and forwarded to buyers solicitor and would be added to my bill at completion,but no on 29 Jan I was asked for £210 for the leasehold pack saying Together Housing had just got back to them regarding their request,making out it took them 7 weeks to respond,REALLY.
I sent Ramsdens £210 to forward to Together Housing thinking things would progress nicely from now on.
How wrong I was as 3 weeks later I rang and spoke to 'Emma' who said they had sent the payment on but had heard nothing yet,which turned out to be untrue as when I rang 1 week later this time speaking to 'Joe' I was informed that their accounts office hadn't informed them I'd forwarded £210 to them so they hadn't sent it on to Together Housing but had just done so that day.
Today I was passing their new premises in Dean Clough so thought I get a further update,spoke to 'Joe'who was in reception and one of the people supposedly dealing with my property,he said he was too busy to look at the moment but would definitely email me later today to keep me up to speed.
Yes you guessed it 'no email',glad I hasn't holding my breath.
We're over 3 months in now and Ramsdens haven't even got the documents yet to send to the buyers solicitor.
So what I'm advising is DO NOT,REPEAT DO NOT PICK RAMSDENS TO DO YOUR CONVEYANCING.Choose anybody but them as they will deceive,tell you untruths and definitely not stick to the speedy service they promise at the outset.
What Ramsdens are unaware of is that a few of my properties are leasehold from Together Housing and im in regular contact with Rhian Williams Home ownership officer who confirms when and if Ramsdens have contacted them regarding my properties.
I will continue adding to this post as things progress OR NOT.
So watch this space
