‘I was very satisfied with the overall level of service received from Miles & Partners. They listened to what I had to say and kept me updated on the progress of my case. The information and advice provided was fairly easy to understand, considering my moderate learning disabilities.
I would specifically recommend Rachel Turner who was the lawyer on my case. Do not let Rachel Turner retire or change career paths. Rachel rocks – she is the best lawyer I have ever had, and that covers her role within the hospital, during discharge and arranging the section 117 aftercare support package.’
