Rothera Bray Solicitors and more specifically Seetal Patel and her team looked after my injury claim after a motorcycle accident that was not my fault. Seetal dedicated her very diligent attention to detail to the process and ensured that every necessary factor was taken into account during my recovery. Her communication was clear and open throughout the process. I would highly recommend Rothera Bray to guide you effectively and provide excellent care throughout your injury recovery and damages claim.

I would like to thank Rothera and Bray Solicitors for all their hard work in representing me in my successful Personal Injury Claim. Their communication and advice was excellent and filled me with confidence throughout my case. On a more personal level I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Ian Johnson and Ms. Swati Kotecha with whom I had most contact with who both were very friendly and professional and made the whole experience as simple as possible. Thank you again.

Ian Johnson and his excellent team provided all the necessary support in a most caring and efficient way. Full and detailed explanations with readily available communication was available throughout. All their much appreciated efforts were rewarded with a successful outcome. I am very grateful. I highly recommend Rothera Bray for their extensive knowledge and the manner in which they do their job.

Rothera Bray were very helpful with my claim, especially Seetal Patel, she made sure I was kept up to date on everything to do with my claim for compensation. When the other side were being awkward she got things done. The case was a bit drawn out but came through in the end. I would recommend Rothera Bray to other claimants. Thank you again.

Thankyou for everything you have done to assist us with this awful situation. You and your team have been exceptional. I’m sure we could have stumbled our way through alone, but it would have been messy and unconventional. With your guidance and expertise, you made it so much easier and I thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

From the day I contacted Rothera Bray they were very helpful and understanding, they explained the procedure and what information they would need from me so they could represent me. Rothera Bray always kept me up to date, reports from consultants on any appointments that had been arranged. They were very professional and made me feel confident that the case was going to be successful. I personally without hesitation recommend Rothera Bray to anyone, professional, informative and understanding, they are always available to answer any questions you may have. EXCELLENT. Again Seetal thank you very much to all who worked on the case, myself and Avis now feel relieved that our future retirement years will be less stressful.

She exudes those skills which it can be difficult to teach – passion for her work, dedication to her clients and a natural ability to instinctively understand how to build rapport with clients and contacts alike.
