Testimonials:
“I'd like to leave a review for the outstanding team at Irwin Mitchell who handled my medical negligence case. From my first interaction with them I found them personable and easy to talk to. They listened to me recounting details of my injury with a lot of kindness and compassion, which was important to me as suffering from PTSD made it difficult for me to recount events. Ania Bean handled most of my case and I found her to be very knowledgeable, thorough and an absolute pleasure to work with. The latter stages of the case were handled by Dimple Raja and Priya Saddington-Poole who were also excellent and lovely to work with and concluded my case. I found they always had time to answer my numerous questions and kept me well informed of the legal process and next steps. Importantly, throughout my case, I always felt I could turn to them and ask for advice, which was always very well explained and straightforward. I'll never forget the hard work these lovely individuals put into winning my case. I am forever grateful.” - Mrs A, Client

"I instructed Irwin Mitchell in 2021 after a traumatic and difficult time with post operative complications. During this time the support from Dimple Raja and her paralegal Hamzah Azim has been first class. No stone was left unturned and every discussion clear so I could understand every step of the process. If anyone ever needed help with any potential claim and wanted a company who treated them like a human being then I would highly recommend Dimple and her team at Irwin Mitchell." - 5* Trustpilot Review

"Since Dimple Raja took over my Sons case she has been sympathetic, understanding, patient and kind. She has always been available for any little reassurance or questions we have had. My Son found it very easy to open up to her when he has found this very difficult in the past with other people. Nothing was too much trouble and she has a way of explaining things in a way we both fully understood. Whilst the outcome was not what we had hoped for we feel certain that she took every measure available to her to represent us. Always having our best interest at heart. We fully trusted her in every aspect. She is very professional and a credit to Irwin Mitchell." - 5* Trustpilot Review
"After taking over responsibility for a claim in my late brothers name, I was full of anxiety and completely out of my depth. I was dealing with Holborn Branch. The staff I had contact with, at what ever level were polite, kind and considerate. The Associate Solicitors took time to clearly explain the processes to me every step of the way. They always available to answer any questions I had. Their professionalism and knowledge was first class. They spoke to me and explained in a language I could understand. They guided me at such a difficult time and I never felt rushed or a nuisance. The case took sometime to complete and I am pleased to say this is now concluded. Thank you." - 5* Trustpilot Review
