When someone chooses to abuse a child, it can leave repercussions that last throughout the child’s life and into adulthood.

Getting the right help and support for that child could make an immense difference to the way they process what has happened to them.

I can say to this point in case they have been there surporting me. Julia very helpful and friendly. And have organised well to get us over the line. We won our part 36 .so technically the case is over. I did take advice from them but feel in my case. it right decision. I realise they are a business and have to earn money like everyone . Everything they said. They would do .. Case took a long time .but I think this quite normal under our circumstances. I have been awarded compensation and im hoping they deal with swiftly and put the cherry on the cake
It is important they make sure this is done after all the hard work they put in and what I had to go through. Julia allways ask me what I wanted to do. Yes she would give me advice but bottom line It my choice.
I would advice anyone out there who looking for a good solicitors firm to speak to these guys. I'm actually 24 hours away on flight
So that a big time difference but they managed it.
So well done big Thanks
Bolt burden Kemp .special thanks to Julia for she did for me.

Amazing firm. Ipek, Daria and Elly really heard me and understood my story. It felt like I was really heard for one of the first times ever. They didn’t take my case as they only take on the best! But my goodness this firm is amazing. They really do care. - Laura
