Testimonials

"Following the unfortunate accident my insurers placed me in the care of Stephensons where Robert Donlan and his injury department team provided exceptional support, service and advice. Taking over three years to resolve I was always well informed, had several reflective conversations over the way forward culminating in an agreed pragmatic conclusion. Whilst it is hoped that I will have no further legal needs of this nature, but if in the future a similar situation occurs, I would have no hesitation in contacting Stephensons." - View from a satisfied client

"My contact with Stephensons, and Robert in particular, came about as a result of my insurers referring my compensation claim to Stephensons. Throughout the 3+ years it has taken to successfully settle my case, Robert has provided an excellent service, his professionalism balanced with a personal approach which has always been reassuring and I have greatly valued the advice, guidance and support he has provided. Not least has been the faith he placed in my case from the outset and the speed with which he responded to my correspondence, calls, etc. Put simply, I don't believe I could have been better represented and I would strongly recommend Robert to anyone who has the need for professional support when making a compensation claim." - View from a satisfied client
