My solicitor was Kate Bebbington who was amazing to have on my side fighting in my corner. Not only did she clearly explain everything in clear detail, to ensure I could understand the most difficult parts of an accident at work claim, she kept me up to date every step of the way. I can’t stress enough the pressure lifted by having someone like Kate working on your case and I recommend her to anyone looking for a solid solicitor to aid you in anyway possible. Thank you Kate and I wish you the best.
