Testimonials

I’m really grateful to Thompsons for bringing my personal injury case to a successful conclusion and for helping me get the treatment I required for my injuries after a road traffic accident. Particular thanks to my solicitor Michelle Blakemore who took over my case a little way in. Michelle is highly efficient, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. I was very lucky and grateful to have had her support. I would highly recommend both Michelle and Thompsons.

Michelle's former client

Thompsons Solicitors made the whole process easy to understand and less painful than I thought it was going to be. Communication was spot on, I was kept fully up to date with everything. Michelle and her team were brilliant.
