We help clients to formulate their claim and navigate the legal process to achieve a resolution at the earliest opportunity. We provide support and friendly professionalism at every step of the way.  We appreciate the emotional and financial impact for victims of fraud and so where there are sufficiently good prospects of the professional negligence claim succeeding, we will consider fee arrangements which enable our client defer a proportion of our fees pending the successful conclusion of the claim.
