It has been an incredibly upsetting time for our whole family and we would like to thank Oliver for all his hard work and professionalism throughout this time.

“Friendly, Professional, Knowledgeable.”

He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.
