Why Choose Us

loaction of Roberts O'Neill

SOLICITORS

There are thousands of solicitors and claims companies in the UK today. You have lots to choose from, so why choose us? What makes us different?

One good reason to choose us is that the person handling your case will be a qualified solicitor with a minimum of 16 years' experience dealing with personal injury claims. Your case will not be handled by a junior solicitor or by an unqualified "paralegal" or "claims handler" - guaranteed.

Most claims companies do not offer to investigate, negotiate and settle your case. They simply sell "leads" to solicitors. They pass on your details. Cut out the middle man!

SPECIALISATION

Why is specialisation so important?

Ask yourself this - if you had a serious medical problem, would you want to be treated by a specialist i.e. a consultant, or by a GP?

Many lawyers are "General Practitioners". They do personal injury cases as part of a varied caseload which might include conveyancing, crime, divorce or commercial matters.

We at Roberts O'Neill do nothing else but personal injury, and we have specialised in this area for many years.

EXPERIENCE

Your case will be handled by either Danny O'Neill or Val Roberts, who between them have 37 years' experience dedicated to personal injury cases. These range from minor injuries to fatal accidents and catastrophic injuries involving brain damage or spinal injury.

SERVICE

In some firms your case would be handled by a team of people, with each member doing different bits and pieces of the case. Some of the team members might be very junior, or indeed not legally qualified at all.

At Roberts O'Neill you will deal with one of our very experienced solicitors from beginning to end. That solicitor will build up an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of your case.
