“I was introduced to Brabners by a friend as I was not happy with the service and advice I had received from a previous lawyer. I’d also taken my case to my insurers and their associated lawyers gave a negative view and therefore would not support me. Additionally a barrister and a retired senior partner of an eminent London firm, all felt it was best I left this alone as the chances of success were slim.”
Michael Cole
“Glyn’s advice has been invaluable over the last three years and he has guided me through a very difficult period. He always gives considered answers to my many queries and because of his sound input my claim was successful with both the FOS and the FSCS. I would not have been able to achieve such a positive outcome without his support. I am highly impressed with the quality of Brabners employees and I would not hesitate to contact the firm in the future should the need arise, or to recommend it for its great service and client focus.”
