- “Amazing service. It took a bit of time but they know what they doing. Many thanks Gimhani Eriyagolla and her team. Wonderful work. Thank you.”
- “My case involved claiming compensation from several companies, all of whom at first denied liability. My solicitor, Gimhani Eriyagolla, fought hard, on my behalf, to point out to these companies that they were, indeed, liable, which they all, eventually accepted. Gimhani then fought for an acceptable and fair settlement from each of them. Throughout the entire case, I was kept informed on any developments. The case was resolved and resulted in my receiving the compensation due from each of the companies. I was treated in a very professional manner from beginning to the very satisfactory conclusion. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this company to anyone in need of legal advice. It was a pleasure to deal with them.”
