Testimonials

  • ‘Julie Hardy was exceptional with her attention to detail, empathy and understanding of the clients perspective. Very considerate and helpful. Easy to approach and willing to answer any queries. ’

  • ‘From my professional work with Nelsons, I would recommend the PI/Clinical Negligence team to any prospective claimant seeking representation. They combine knowledge, experience and expertise in the PI/Clinical negligence area with integrity and professionalism, which is sometimes lacking in other claimant PI firms. Briefs from Nelsons PI/CN team are, without exception, detailed, well-prepared and well-presented, making appropriate use of technology and data protection as appropriate.’
