RSR Law Ltd in Croydon: Contest. Other funding options are available, such as a fixed fee agreement, meaning you pay no unexpected costs.

R James Hutcheon Solicitors - Law Firm in Liverpool: Just because there's a big speech about them being 'established in 1885!' doesn't mean there is a 175-year-old solicitor behind the desk acting as an all-knowing guru to everyone else there.

Fieldfisher LLP Personal Injury Solicitors in Manchester & London: For this firm to have individual offices within the UK that have remained focused on a relatively small target group and one that can bring just regular smaller (again, relatively) claimants alongside larger ones - is unusual.
