I used Thorntons for my injury claim and had a one to one dealing with solicitor Richard Poole. He was very professional and very understanding, and kept me updated all the way along the process. I must say he was very easy to talk to and always gave great advise.

First class service, kept informed every step of the way. Second to none.
