Road Traffic Accident 4th February, 2021.  I would like to express my sincere thanks to Karen Clarke who took on this case. She has worked with dedication and efficiency throughout the last 2 years, giving advice and recommendations to enable this claim to be finalised very satisfactorily. Communication has been clear and precise throughout. Hopefully, I would not need to call on these services again but, if necessary, would not hesitate to use Lanyon Bowdler solicitors again. With very many, grateful thanks.
