She is deeply committed to championing the rights of those injured or abused survivors by lending her voice to local/national campaigns on their behalf to make a positive difference. This work leads to improved awareness of the challenges facing those who have suffered abuse.
Seetal maintains positive working relationships with experts, including psychologists, rehabilitation and care experts. She keeps clients at the heart of her work and is committed to a holistic approach to include early access to treatment/rehabilitation supported by interim payments to assist with finances and treatment or counselling needs.

“Rothera Bray provided an excellent service to both my Mother and myself during what was a very difficult time for us. They were detailed, professional and supportive. This lead to an outcome that we would not have been able to achieve without their expertise. I would highly recommend Rothera Bray to represent you when making a claim following an accident. ”Ben
“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.”Malcolm
“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. ”M Baxter
“We began working with Greg & Seetal following my father in laws accident during covid in summer 2020. The case was quite complex & the defendants denied any liability from the start despite his significant injuries. Both Greg & Seetal have been fantastic in ensuring that as a family we were updated throughout, provided with honest & supportive advice. They arranged for independent experts to assist with the case from medical experts to barrister representation & worked just as hard in 2020 as they did in 2024 when the case was finally resolved. Seetal has kept us up to date without any need to chase for updates or request info & often emailed just to keep us posted on time frames & correspondence. Finally in 2024 an offer was made which allowed the case to be closed successfully for my father in law & prevented him from having to attend court something which was causing a significant amount of anxiety. The way in which they handled this meant not only the case was closed in his favour but the impact to his mental health was minimised & this is entirely down to the hard work & determination that they both showed throughout. On their advice we accepted the offer made and arrangements for funds to be transferred has been quick and efficient too. Overall we cannot recommend both of them enough & would strongly encourage anyone to use them on their case if needed. In short we would not be in the position we are now without them! ”The Pistana Family
“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. ”John Ward
