Sep 15,2022On a recommendation. I contacted Clarke willmott following my accident at work, I am so glad that I did this Lee Hart and his team were assigned to my claim. Right from the first meeting with him I found him to be professional and helpful and outlined the procedure he would take to claim for my injury Throughout the process kept me informed despite the covid situation with telephone calls and emails. I never felt forgotten during the time Lee Hart handled my claim. He was like a really good friend to me and took the stress out of what I was coping with at that time. A claim settlement was agreed which I was happy with. But Lee Hart went the extra mile for me in locating a surgeon who would carry out special surgery on my eye socket, which was professor Simon Holmes of the London Royal Hospital. I have now had the surgery and so grateful to Lee and prof Holmes who have made a great improvement to my live. Following my experience I would personally recommend Clarke willmott without hesitation

Jul 11,2022We contacted Clarke Willmott after a accident at work . Lee Hart dealt with the claim and from day one was honest and very professional. Unfortunately my circumstances had effected my mental health and I struggled to deal with things which were stressful. Lee was so understanding and happy to deal with my wife if I found things to much. We did not meet Lee for a long time due to Covid but he kept us up to date with everything. A settlement was reached and during the whole experience Lee gave us options and talked us through things. We can now move on with our lives thanks to Lee Hart and I would recommend him to anyone that may need his expertise in this field.

Jul 01,2022Without going in to too much personal information, we had the displeasure of having to sue the NHS for a clinical negligence incident that took our mother away from us before her time. The NHS had turned their back on an old and diseased lady following the accident and she never made it home again, instead being sent to a nursing home which we had to pay for. We had argued the fact that she needed medical help but the poor wheelchair bound elderly lady was left to fend for herself and sadly no longer knew who her family were following the emergency bone surgery she required after the accident. After failing a Continuing Health Care assessment (where i’m convinced that you would have to be virtually dead to win) and in an effort to recoup the massive financial outlay, we decided to sue. I decided on Clarke Willmott, mainly as I knew they were a large organisation in my area and that an old friend of ours had in fact worked in their financial department many years back and was positive about them and his workplace at the time. From the word go, I was advised to write a letter to the chief executive of the hospital and did so then Gemma read it and added some bullet-points asking more specific questions of them which I hadn't considered myself. The hospital did in fact take a very long time to respond to my letter of complaint but eventually they did admit their failings and eventually admitted that it had in fact shortened our mother's life as well as taking away her ability to walk. After receiving their letter of admission, we pretty much left the whole affair in the hands of Gemma who calmly navigated us through the process in the background. I don't really feel that we had to actually do very much at all but were always kept informed as things progressed past the different landmarks as the months rolled on. Very recently we received a full admission that there was no objection to our claim and although they tried to haggle with us (if anyone that does this type of haggling with grieving relatives then shame on you) but Gemma went back to them with our 'feelings' on that matter and successfully got the full amount we had claimed for. I hasten to add that these type of claims where people have passed on don't qualify for large sums of money though we were happy that the amount we claimed for did in fact cover the legal fees and the cost of caring for our mother in the private sector following her accident so we consider the process a success. I honestly cannot think of a single reason for us not to recommend using Clarke Willmott. The calm and caring attitude and sense that you really have someone on your side to navigate on your behalf through processes that none of us had the emotional energy to do so, was all we could have hoped for. Both my brother and sister weren't really aware of how simple this was made for us as I was the main point of contact but I know that they appreciate how easy it was made for me now and they are equally impressed with the outcome. We also received the money very quickly which has allowed us to move on with our lives and remember our dear mother whilst putting to bed what the poor thing went through during her last months. I hope that we will never have to go through anything like this again but if we do I now know we have a legal team waiting that I can honestly trust without question.

Jun 14,2022Very grateful for the work Marguarita tyne put in to get me the best possible outcome. We didn't think we would be as successful as we were with the offer of settlement. This has helped me a great deal in moving forward from the trauma and pain I suffered for so long. Will use again and recommend to friends and family.

Jun 09,2022I found help through Facebook. When everyone else turned me away, Gemma was prepared to help. Thank you

May 31,2022Appalling reply. Made an enquiry about Wills & Inheritance and they suggested "Thank you for your recent enquiry. Unfortunately Clarke Willmott is unable to assist with this matter. However, may we suggest using the Law Society’s ‘find a solicitor’ search to help you locate a specialist near you" YET their advert on google shows that this EXACTLY their specialism! Crazy response.

Apr 23,2022As a single full time mum, struggling with an extremely difficult and abusive ex partner, i trusted Clarke Willmott to help me. The process was lengthy and costly and due to the strain on my mental health i did stop and start the process. When i was finally ready to go ahead, they told me i had to pay a significant amount for them to continue (even though i already had £8000 fees and they took on my case knowing full well I had no money - they even saw my accounts). Because i could not make a significant contribution, they have now hit me with a £9000 + bill that needs paying within 14 days or they're taking ME to court. So be warned, they are a large chain of money grabbers, with no empathy for you or your situation. Go and find a small family run business if you actually want your moneys worth and no threat of court or ccjs. they have literally not only wasted my time, they have now put me in a financial situation I cannot get out of, making things even worse than they were before.

Mar 07,2022Kerry Fifield supported me for over 4 years through my personal injury claim. Kerry and her team were professional and approachable throughout and showed genuine care for my personal situation. I would highly recommend Kerry and her team to anyone going through something similar. A huge thank you to the team at Clarke Willmott.

Mar 07,2022My personal injury claim was managed by Lee Hart. He has been so professional and thorough in dealing with my claim and yet very personable and friendly, always open and willing to listen and talk things over in a calm and constructive manner. I feel very lucky to have found Lee to help me through this.

Feb 17,2022Keep threatening CCJ after a family court case where children were sexually abused. Have been paying monthly instalments. Yet when I respond to CCJ threatening letters they don't engage to agree payment arrangement. So I am confused what they want if a previous client is already paying money off.

Feb 01,2022I had a personal injury claim which was complex and took a long time to complete. Clarke Willmott were totally supportive, patient and professional throughout the entire process. I'm glad I chose them.

Feb 01,2022I didn't know that personal injury claims had a 3 year expiry date on them. I only discovered this 2.5 years after the event when I felt mentally strong enough to embark on legal action. Despite the limited time window, Lee Hart took my case on. It's the first time that I've felt listened to since the event took place, and like I had someone on my side. I liked that he was calm, professional, but also humorous. It made going through an emotionally taxing process much easier. Would definitely use Clarke Willmott again in the future based on this experience.

Aug 09,2021I was after a good reliable solicitor for my mother's Medical Negligence case a few years ago. Luckily we found Gemma Osgood and I cannot thank her enough as she has been ever so helpful and consistent from start to finish. The help received was outstanding and her response time to my emails was also on time. I am very satisfied with the final outcome of the case and can thoroughly recommend Clarke Willmott!

May 18,2021I had an excellent experience using Isobelle from Clarke Willmott to settle a commercial dispute. I was given clear commercial advice and the whole matter was executed professionally within the agreed budget and to a very tight timescale. A reasonable fee was charged which no one ever wants to pay but the rate was fair and Isobelle over delivered and did not try and charge any extra. I would definitely use them again, I guess your experience will always depend on who you deal with and how they treat you, so 5 stars for Isabelle Cam! Thanks.

May 11,2021Communication skills poor but that's a product of a modern age. Someone needs to teach their junior staff how to be more transparent with customers and NOT assume that the customer knows what they think they know!

Apr 17,2021Medical negligence claim was dealt with very efficiently and professionally. I was always kept updated. Support was given throughout to understand legal processes. Received quick responses to my telephone calls and emails. Very sympathetic and understanding in times of personal difficulty. Always honest and open. Felt confident and had full trust that every effort was being made in my claim.

Apr 16,2021I had part of my finger amputated in an accident in work and that was back in 2019 and that's when i first contacted Clarke and Willmott had an appointment with Lee Hart I was so nervous about the whole thing and Lee put me at ease straight away, he explained to me what the process would be and what he would be doing next. Then covid arrived, there was no face to face contact so it was just emails and phone calls, but the service I have been given has been impeccable and so professional, and to be honest I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now if it hadn't been for Lee and his team they have worked so hard through this pandemic and trying times they have helped me and my family so much and it has been stressful at times but there reputation speaks for its self. I know I wouldn’t have got this service from anywhere else so if you're looking for a solicitor don't look no further

Oct 24,2022I've been trying remortgage my property since April, and discovered I needed to extend the lease, so instructed Clarke & Willmott to act on behalf of the freeholder. I chose them because of the ratings on Trustpilot. WHAT A MISTAKE! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!! The mortgage was finally approved at the end of August, and we had 30-days to complete. Since then, my acting solicitor and I have been fighting with Clarke Willmott and the freeholder on a daily basis to get this through. WE HAVE BEEN READY TO COMPLETE FOR TWO MONTHS AND ARE BEING HELD UP BY CLARKE WILLMOTT. They rarely respond, and when they do, we're met with surly and rude responses. We've managed to get one extension from the lender, but that is about to expire, and I have no other options. I'm now facing the prospect of the whole thing falling through and HAVING TO PAY OVER DOUBLE FOR MY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS DUE TO THE LACK OF INTEREST AND PROFESSIONALISM OF CLARKE WILLMOTT. We have told them this on countless occasions and they still do nothing! It's absolutely appalling! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
