Trethowans are absolutely fantastic...
Trethowans are absolutely fantastic. I had used them before this case and they were so lovely I went back. They were wonderful; Chris [Whiteley] was great and kept me up to date throughout the whole process.

Since my accident I have had to adjust to many changes. Chris Whiteley and the team at Trethowans have been tremendous in the many ways they have helped me and my partner. Right from the start, just after my accident, they worked tirelessly on my behalf making sure I received the right amount of damages for my accident. The compensation they got for me has enabled me to secure a good standard of living. I have bought a new home, a car and I receive all the medical support I need when I need it. Most importantly, I am able to continue to live independently.

Chris Whiteley at Trethowans has restored my faith in justice...
Chris Whiteley at Trethowans has restored my faith in justice, the [legal] system and client care. I was delighted with the end result of my personal injury case. He was very personable, honest, dynamic and extremely efficient. To have someone "believe in me" and truly understand my Case finally, after nearly 3 years of what I would describe as "hell" was a godsend. He was patient and understanding, as my Case had proved to be quite traumatic and at times I found it difficult emotionally to cope. It was quite a complicated and unusual case, but Chris Whiteley was clear and concise with his instructions and expert advice and I felt confident in making some very important decisions. Finally I was able to regain my confidence in someone working on my behalf, which I hadn't been able to do for a long time. Chris Whiteley was a true professional in every sense and I was delighted with the end result of my Case, which, although painful at times, had been worth fighting for to prove and win my Case. I would thoroughly recommend Chris Whiteley to anyone and would have no hesitation in approaching him again in the future, although having said that, I hope I never have to experience a "personal injury" claim again! Many thanks Chris - you are an asset to Trethowans and a true star.

Chris Whiteley is an outstanding lawyer...
Chris Whiteley is an outstanding lawyer; he acted for me in relation to a clinical negligence claim. I had approached other firms in connection with my complaint against the doctor but I was not impressed with the other firms and they did not seem interested in taking on a difficult case. A family friend recommended Mr Whiteley to me. Mr Whiteley successfully sued the doctor involved and I was awarded compensation. Mr Whiteley listened to me and got on with the case. If he says he is going to do something, he does it. Mr Whiteley negotiated my case and took the other side to the wall; he was very skillful in his negotiations and stood his ground. He can handle the emotional side of a complex case and went beyond the call of duty. It did not matter that I live in Yorkshire and Mr Whiteley is in Wiltshire; we communicated by 'phone and e-mail. I am fussy about my professional advisors but would not hesitate in recommending Mr Whiteley; he puts other lawyers to shame.
Mr Evans

Following surgical complications from a shoulder operation I had a meeting with Chris Whiteley who suggested that I check my household insurance to see if I had cover. With a positive answer he then contacted my insurers who gave him permission to proceed on a 'Personal Injury Claim'. Compensation was achieved for the damage caused, the extra pain, loss of earnings, cost of physiotherapy and the care and assistance I needed whilst recovering without having to go to Court. The team, headed by Chris, are true experts in their field and also easy to work with. My husband and I are very grateful to them.
Mrs D

Dear Laura [Rowe]. I am sending a word of personal thanks in appreciation of your kind and sympathetic help at a most stressful time in Jane's life. Throughout almost two years your professional assistance has been of the utmost value to her. In these days of falling standards, I count myself fortunate indeed that someone of your dedication and sympathetic approach handled her case so skillfully.
Mr Patch
Laura was very good in handling my case
I was well informed of progress throughout and any explanations were given in “plain English” so I understood exactly what was happening. I feel Laura actually had my best interests in mind.
Miss C
I would thoroughly recommend Trethowans to anyone
Excellent communications, Laura was always helpful, took time to answer my questions and explain things to me.
