- ‘The team provide a very proactive service. They engage constructively with claimant lawyers to progress claims quickly. On the lower value claims, the claims are well handled to achieve quick settlements at sensible figures.’
- ‘Joy Middleton is tenacity personified. When a case can be defended in full, she will, and it will be dismissed or discontinued. Her legal and case management skills are superb. She also has a lovely manner and a delightful sense of humour. A real pleasure to work with. She is a major figure on the defendant side and is trusted with the most difficult cases.’
