Child Abuse Help & Support

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.

Bolt bourdon kamp acted for me. Thay came in at the last minute so the case was difficult. They took it on against all odds. I had solicitor Heather petrie who was excellent she had a great understanding of my problems from a brain injury she was professional and sympathetic. I would highly recommend her. Later Hoffman wong helped the case. He was good too. I will highly recommend. Bolt budon kemp especially the solicitors mentioned. Heather also contacted me in her own time to keep me informed. I can't thank her enough at a difficult time.

It is rare to find a solicitor who combines such personal touches and care for a client with outstanding quality of service. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Gaggan and the BBK team by my side during one of the most challenging periods of my life.

I cannot thank Bolt Burdon Kemp enough for their help dealing with my medical negligence case against the NHS

Hannah Travis dealt with my case she was very patient, she really listened to what I had to say and showed me empathy.

I was kept updated through every process via emails, post, phone calls, from day one to the end of my case. Everyone who dealt with me were very professional

I would recommend Bolt Burdon Kemp to anyone who believes they have a negligence case. They certainly went above and beyond my expectations
