I have just had my claim against the MOD settled through Hugh James Solicitors. I have to say that they worked very hard to get my case through from start to finish. In particular Nia-Wyn Evans from the military department in Hugh James. Nia went over and beyond the call of duty on many occasions making sure I knew what was happening at each stage of this process. Nia made me feel at ease when I had queries and she was very compassionate and professional throughout my case. I am very happy with my experience with Hugh James solicitors and would recommend them to any serving member of the armed forces or veteran seeking legal advice.

Client

I would highly recommend Hugh James and, Nia-Wyn Evans and all those who helped in the Military claims Department.
I contacted Hugh James solicitors after being informed I was being medically discharged and after a failed AFCS claim. They spent lots of time listening and discussing what most would find a complex situation. They understood most military terminology which made the process even easier.
Nia kept me informed though out, clarifying anything I didn’t understand. I would not hesitate instructing Hugh James solicitors in the future.

Client

“The military team was great and they took a great interest in my case. I was assigned a personal solicitor/barrister who guided and took me through every step on my case from the beginning to the end. I was able to get in touch with her anytime, any day and month. My assigned personal solicitor/ barrister and her team managed to secure the best deal and settlement for me.
I just want to say a big thank you to Nia-Wyn and her team and Hugh James.”
