Client Comments
- “I pursued a sexual discrimination claim against a service provider for catcalling and misogyny. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire Brigham. Not only did she achieve a settlement way above what I expected but the care, empathy and compassionate approach was first class. It felt as though she was truly on your side and cared deeply about my case. I am very thankful to Claire, not only for achieving this level of compensation but enabling me to hold a company to account for their behaviour.”
- “What a great Company to use! My Solicitor was Claire Brigham and she or one of her team always answered any questions that I may have asked. Going through an Inquest they were so very helpful, even now they are still going the extra mile! I highly recommend them and would use them again if necessary.”
- “Would just like to say thank you so much for everything Hodge Jones and Allen [Claire] have done for my family over the last 8 months or so. The service has been nothing but professional and outstanding.”
