Clients can claim compensation if they lose out because of poor quality work by their lawyers. We are expert in professional negligence claims.

Ms Y had suffered from damp and disrepair for more than 10 years but solicitors had settled a claim against her landlords for £2,500 compensation and done nothing about the rain coming through her bedroom ceiling. The solicitors' insurers agreed to pay Ms Y £30,000 compensation.

Mr B's solicitors did not tell him that he had been granted asylum. As a result Mr B was out of time to claim to backdated income support. The solicitors' insurers agreed to pay compensation of £11,000.

Ms E was sued by her former solicitors for unpaid fees of more than £13,000. This was on top of £9,000 she had paid on account. The solicitors had failed to advise her about legal aid to which she was entitled. The solicitors' claim was dismissed and they were ordered to repay the sum of £9,000 with interest.
