Thank you for your letter and accounts. Many thanks for all you have done for us in this case, it has been very worthwhile as it puts the whole sorry affair behind us and we can both move on in the knowledge that we went as far as we could. We have greatly appreciated the careful and professional advice you have given us.

From my first contact with Mayo Wynne Baxter I have felt in very good hands. The website is reassuring and persuasive with clear statements of aims, values and principles and I liked the fact that the firm had won excellence awards for their practice. This was why I chose them to represent my interests in a professional Negligence case. My first telephone conversation with Karim Mohamed (one of the partners) was positive and encouraging and I was very happy and impressed with the support and detailed advice I received throughout the case from one of his colleagues, Katherine Leppard and from him. The settlement of my case was not easy and not as I had hoped. However, because of the firm’s empathetic approach to my situation, we were able to work together to reach a settlement that was agreeable to me and them. I want to thank you both for all the hard work and your sympathetic approach.
