Client testimonial (for John Browne)
I would highly recommend Slater and Gordon Lawyers and especially John Browne. My Dad become ill with mesothelioma in 2020 and sadly died in September 2020. John took over Dads claim and called to gather any information he could regarding our claim against my dad’s ex employers. He was generous with his time and was always at the end of a phone. This case was a complicated one and John dealt with the various problems with speed and efficiency, explaining everything to me in detail. I shall always remember his kindness and empathy and the way he guided me through that terrible time with such compassion resulting in a substantial settlement for my Mum. Just want to say a big thank you to all of you for all your hard work over the last 3 years. It’s been a long road but at least we have some justice for my Dad. No money will ever compensate for my dad I so wish he was still here with us. Thank you again.
