Over the course of her long career, Alison has also represented the victims of road traffic accidents and those injured outside the workplace.

Alison has a successful track record in securing maximum compensation for her clients, taking great care to update her clients on any developments throughout the duration of their claim.

Testimonials

This is going to be a difficult letter to write, as the words written down cannot convey all the hard work over the last three years that have gone into the final wonderful outcome. Jane (daughter) rang me the day before my 80th birthday with the magnificent news that she had received a cheque from you. The money could not bring bob back, but as Jane says, it will make what is left of my life free from money trouble. You have put so much work, time and energy into it and words cannot express how grateful I am.
