Testimonials
Helen was a first class case manager who managed a complex brain injury case in an exemplary manner. She was open and approachable, whilst at all times professional and keeping in mind the commercial realities of the case. The rehabilitation was subject to some constraints due to incomplete funding by the Defendant, which Helen was able to overcome in an innovative and effective way. She built up excellent rapport with the family as well as the client, and I would happily instruct Helen again and have recommended her within my team. Lauren Haas, Associate Solicitor, Irwin Mitchell, July 2023
Helen acted as my fathers case manager following a serious Road Traffic Collision, which left his with life changing injuries. Helen co-ordinated and implanted a personalised care plan to ensure his on-going needs were being met. She liaised with solicitors in relation to his compensation claim with professionalism and communicated with his medical team in relation to his on going medical needs. Helen was friendly, approachable, patient, knowledgeable and compassionate, and went above and beyond to help my father, which we are both truly grateful for. We would highly recommend Helen and her services to other clients. Michelle McMahon, Client Daughter, June 2023
