I contacted several so-called Army specialist solicitors, but most of them fobbed me off or didn’t seem to care. Then I found Natasha — and straight away, she had the answers that no one else wanted to give me. I was shot in Afghanistan and have completed five tours, so I know what it's like to face real challenges. Natasha, being ex-Forces herself, immediately put my mind at ease. She understood me without me having to explain everything. She’s firm, no-nonsense, and exactly the kind of person you want in your corner. If I had to go into battle again, I’d take her with me — no question.

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

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.
