Testimonials

‘Sintons solicitors are in the very top bracket of solicitors for whom I work. Without exception their partners and associates are first-class. When I receive Instructions from Sintons I look forward to starting work on them. The work will be well-prepared, of good quality and the Instructions will be sensible. They have moved away from more basic personal injury work, and now concentrate on areas with more complexity and value. They truly are an excellent firm in every way.’
‘This firm offers consistently excellent service across the board. Whichever fee earner I am instructed by, the case is always extremely well prepared and been maximised to its true potential. All of the fee earners are very knowledgeable, but to a person are approachable and have great communication with their clients. Sintons' staff appear to have real empathy with their clients, which generates a real team feeling between lawyer and client. Strength and depth in the department is a real selling point. For legal knowledge, tactical acumen and approachable staff, I struggle to look past Sintons.’
