Testimonials
"From the moment of contact I was carefully listened to and guided as to the best course of action. The professional approach by Amanda Holden was second to none. The case was protracted, not due to Irwin Mitchell's professionalism, which has been exceptional. I was kept constantly in the loop, given brilliant advice and literally had my hand held when the case became particularly difficult. I have been able to contact Amanda easily during working hours and she always responded quickly when I had any queries. Had I not used Irwin Mitchell and been allocated Amanda I believe that justice may not have been done and my father's wishes not carried out. I cannot thank Amanda enough."
