23/08/22 - Reviewed by Personal Injury Claim
I had a car accident in May 2021 while I was stationary and was hit in the rear by someone who was possibly on his mobile. I had treatment for back injuries and required a further 5 but this has not eased the problem. The number of people who have dealt with my case is 5, some go off sick others go on to another job.
The solicitors have sent me many forms to complete which I have done and still the problem is not resolved. In the past few days I have had a tingling sensation in my left arm which resulted with me going to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and the doctor/surgeon immediately advised it was a trapped nerve in my neck.
How quick was that. I rang this firm to advise them and of the ongoing problem and all I got was limited advice and the same answers 'We are doing our best' What a shambles this company are. I have now made a complaint and will go elsewhere to try and find a solicitor who can deal with my case professionally.
If you get offered there services stay well away

Fault was admitted the next day by the other driver ! I had severe injuries wich they tried to play down to a indipendant medical examiners, even tried to rip them of a payment so I was sent to someone else !
Instructed an accountant a week before admitting they had received my payment already even tho solicitors told me they hadn’t ! The accountant also said theyv received double the amount the solicitor told me ! Then corrected himself ! This company let the insurence company pull out of an agreed intrium payment I’d waited months for lost my buisness bothinf to live of been promising pittance to get by and paid nothing ! Now with holding my damages but happily sent receipt for their charges wich were taken out straight away but my payments still not been made ! 4 months Iv been waiting for an agreeded intrium payment or full damages but got nothing ! Several times Iv been suicidal through the year down to them and they say they can’t do anything these people would have you living on the street sitting on ur money passing the blame to myself ! This was a straight forward case where liability was accepted at the earliest point (next day) spoke to national injury lawyers who have told me they have lots of this solicitor go to them wanting out from Michael w halsall! Save ur time mental health and money and go else where !!!! Disgusting behaviour no compassion nothing ! They will get u the least amount and the big firms that pass out cases to solicitors stay clear of this company themselfs ! How ever this company also was instructed by the opposing party’s insurence company I didn’t know untill I didn’t receive payment that this is actually conflict of intrest ! I have no instructed another solicitor not to take my case but against this company ! Avoid do not use ! Rude lazy arogant human !

Worse company ever. 2 years they ran my case with a very poor final result. I do not recommend using the services of this company.

Just reading the reviews on this firm confirms my thoughts. I did not choose them the firm dealing with my accident claim did. Hope to god I never have to deal with either again just awful. Would not recommend to anybody.

A big NO for this solicitor!!! Never ever again! They want to control your life whereas you are the customer! I have suffered injuries from a car accident and they want to tell me what I should feel!

The only good thing about this company is a new girl called Jessica O’Connell. She’s only been there a few months and was more helpful to me than the solicitor who took on my case. I fractured my ankle. I went out of my way to photograph the pothole I walked into, photographed evidence of the potholes and surrounding potholes being filled in by the Council who were to blame to no avail after 9 months. This company pride themselves on being the best (if you happen to phone up and listen to them stating this). I wish I’d read the reviews first and used another company.

Waste of time no help at all would not recommend using these solicitors.
Someone hit my car from behind while i was stationary, No damage to my car as he hit the tow ball, I suffered whiplash and could not work for 9 days.
They left me hanging for 5 days before saying they did not want to persue the case.
Now got a firm to carry on with it.

Absolutely shocking service, would not recommend anyone use Michael Hallsalls solicitors at all, you would be better off getting a child to carry out any legal work.

I was going through a claim through them first they put wrong details where the incident happen then forced me to reject all the offer made by third party and then told me if third party didn't pay the full amount then I have to pay the balance which I never have experienced in past shot solicitors wouldn't recommend lier and RIP you for them to feed themselves arrogant and have lack of information

I couldn't be more pleased with how my case was handled. I was happy for Ray to handle things and contact me when required. He's been great answering any questions I had, talking me through the process and getting the best possible pay out.

I used this Firm for my road traffic accident claim, having been recommend to them by my insurance company. I found them to be professional but more importantly friendly and efficient in every aspect of my claim. They also claimed for the loss of enjoyment of our summer holiday which was the week after the accident. I would highly recommend this Firm.

I have never felt so intimidated or frightened by a solicitor that was supposed to be representing me. They have been handling my case for over one year and now have more or less dropped my case just waiting for confirmation not sure I’m going to get it!! I don’t trust them nor do I have any faith in the solicitor being able to deliver a favourable outcome in court. Baroness Hale of Richmond they are NOT!

Is there a rating less than 1 star? You have to keep ringing them for any update, otherwise you will be left in silence for months! Even if they promised you some progress they still can't achieve it after several months!

I made the mistake of using the Solicitor my Insurance company provided and all I can say is i have never come across such a bunch of clowns, Very helpful at first then the problems start you ring for an update and never get the same person twice you get told many different things as to what is happening with your case and how its progressing. Nobody seams to know what is going on or how it is progressing. I had to fight for over 9 months to have my car returned to me. Frankly I wouldn't believe them if they told me it was raining outside.
I Wouldn't trust them to win a game of Noughts and Crosses let alone a court case.

Please can you advise me on what action you took against them and if they threatened you with paying the other sides court costs as they have droped my case I was threatened and verbally intimidated by a solicitor at this firm, which is not correct when they are supposed to be representing me!!!

I went through National number to get given Halsall . They initially were very helpful . Signed me up and from then on I had to do all the Chasing ! . I wasted 18 MONTHS!! with them !! . They used the WRONG Causation Doctor , which gave a review which was true ,but, not about the actual incident . They then dropped me . PLEASE DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH THEN YOU ONLY HAVE 3 YEARS . Also their negative Causation Report , stopped any other Solicitor EVER wanting to even look at my case.

Please do not use this organisation for injury compensation I went on line on a no win no fee website and was directed to this company. Initially they were so helpful but I then found lack of contact, constantly having a 'new' solicitor because the last person had left though nobody ever told you, I was constantly asking what was happening, I was told papers were being prepared for court after waiting two years, to then receiving a letter stating that they had decided not to proceed as they didn't think they would win, I had been for a medical received correspondence stating they would represent me and that they thought I had a case, interestingly enough I have tried to leave my review several times by leaving one star but I have been unable to do so after awarding 4 stars my review was accepted !! it also says that if I post anything false I am one click away from being blacklisted and prosecuted well nothing false about my review it is 100% honest, please don't waste your chance of obtaining compensation, they advised me I could go to another Solicitor which is true, but because they have been involved I have to pay for that now something I cant afford to do.
