"Abigail Salter took over my case and straight away I felt comfortable with her. She was kind, compassionate and helpful during a very, very hard time.

"I am 83 and have been involved in a lengthy case of medical misdiagnosis leading to serious problems for me in terms of mobility, which was fought against by the hospital concerned despite the evidence being unassailable. Irwin Mitchell provided firstly Eleri Davies and then when she was due for childbirth, Abigail Salter. In my time I reached the board of major corporations, so I have great experience of legal matters and practitioners both in our legal department and in legal battles. Abigail and Eleri are at the very highest level.
"It is impossible for me to praise these two solicitors too highly for their determination, professionalism, refusal to give in, and their empathetic client relationship. I give them both a score in all these areas of 200%. The hospital eventually, under their excellent handling, gave in and settled out of court." - 5* Trustpilot review
"I have been supported by the staff of Irwin Mitchell, mainly Abigail Salter, since January 2019. They have been so helpful right from the beginning and informative throughout. No question has been left unanswered (there have been many) and Abigail has been excellent in relaying complex legal information and processes in a much simpler way so that I have understood from the get-go. She has listened to what I have wanted throughout, giving me her professional opinion, but always leaving the final decision to me. Abigail has been empathetic with my situation throughout also understanding I have a young family so phone calls etc have to revolve around them. An overall fantastic service despite unfortunate circumstances." - 5* Trustpilot review

Not only was the outcome better than I ever imagined but they also got me closure and that is something I thought I wouldn't get. I cannot thank you Abigail and your team enough. I highly recommend you have nothing to lose but so much to gain. I'm so thankful to you all. " - 5* Trustpilot review
