Client testimonials
“I cant thank you enough for the wonderful service you have provided. You were always professional, replying promptly, but you also had a knack of explaining complicated legal matters so we could understand. I always felt we were in safe hands. Finally, I need to mention your obvious compassion for X’s predicament and this empathy helped us a lot.”
“I cannot recommend Sarah and her team enough. With a friendly, professional and dedicated approach to matters at hand she definitely makes you feel like you're in good hands. She has allowed me to close the door on this dreaded chapter and move on with my life.”
“Very thorough and no stone left unturned. From the initial meeting I felt trust, confidence and comfort that I was listened to and not dismissed as a mercenary. Communication has always been at the forefront of my case whether email telephone or letter, if Sarah has never been immediately available a follow up call can be guaranteed to ensue at her earliest convenience.”
“I was initially unsure if I wanted to pursue a claim. I met with Sarah and she explained the process to me. I felt reassured and I proceeded with the claim. My opponents dug their heels in and denied responsibility for my accident. I was worried about this but I spoke to Sarah and again she reassured me. Throughout the case if I had any queries or concerns, I would just contact Sarah and she would explain matters to me. If Sarah wasn’t available, I would speak to a colleague and they would try and help. My queries and letters were always responded to promptly. I knew at all times where I stood and I never felt alone in the process. I visited the offices on a couple of occasions. They were lovely and the ladies on reception were very friendly, in fact the whole of the staff I spoke to were. I was very pleased with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Sarah and Shoosmiths to my friends and family.”
“Sarah Cunliffe has been supporting me in addition to providing me with legal advice. She has listened to my worries and always found answers to my questions. She is professional and tactful. I would use her again."
“My solicitor, Sarah Cunliffe, made the process straightforward. She explained the process to me fully at the outset and kept me well informed. My correspondence was replied to promptly and all letters were straightforward and easy to understand. I would recommend Sarah to my family and friends. They offer a great service and Sarah was excellent and very good at her job. She wouldn’t take any messing around from my opponents.”
