I am part of the West Midlands Workplace Illness Team and deal with asbestos disease claims. I am experienced in complex asbestos cases, such as exposure from clothing or where there are multiple defendants. I am very focused on client care and have over 20 years litigation experience.
Testimonials
"My elderly Farther was put in touch with Irwin Mitchell due to Work related Asbestosis. I personally wasn’t looking forward to dealing with it, but knew I had to due to Dad's health condition.
"We were introduced to Maria Roberts. Straight away I know I had nothing to worry about. Maria was Fantastic right from the start. What was so good, Maria was friendly, clear every time I spoke to her (which was a lot) she took her time with us and explained everything in simple straight forward language. Explaining all the time what was going on and what we can expect. In fact, it was a pleasure not a chore to have our communications.
"Maria was always very professional in every aspect of our case. What was brilliant as well. If Maria says she is going to call at a particular time. Wow she was spot on every time we were never left waiting. I cannot speak more Highly of Maria Roberts for what she has done and treated myself and Dad. Thank you, Maria." - Client feedback
