After receiving lens replacement surgery by Optical Express it was apparent that the surgery had failed & caused other problems that didn’t exist prior to the surgery & I still need reading glasses. After looking at reviews online, I was put in touch with Friends Legal who agreed to take on my case. Val Roberts was my representative & after several years fighting my corner, the case was eventually settled out of court.

I cannot praise Friends Legal & in particular Val Roberts & her team enough. I was dealt with very sympathetically & with compassion, with regular updates throughout my case I would highly recommend Friends Legal, to anyone who was in need of help & guidance. It’s people like Val that make the world a better place. THANK YOU!

I can't believe it's all finally over, but with your help, the result has been way beyond my expectations.

I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to you and your team for the outstanding service you have consistently provided. You gave me confidence in your professional service right from day one. Your expertise, communication, and friendly helpful nature has been of the highest possible quality.

You have no idea how much this has helped me and my family. I now have the option of retiring from full-time teaching and all the stresses that brings, which were further complicated by the adverse effects of my laser eye surgery.

I feel so lucky having chose you to act on my behalf, and have been consistently impressed by your handling of the case. The team of specialists you have around you have also been of the highest order.

Complemented by all this, has been the highly personal nature of your communications, which has not only further impressed me, but has amused and enlightened me too. 

You’re quite a woman, Val. Thank you so much, from me and my family. When we needed someone to fight our corner, we found you, and you were ferocious. It might be just another day at the office for you, but this has been life-changing for me.

I was recommended Friends Legal by a neighbour. He said you are a kind and caring company of legal people. He said that you were people who had integrity, and, only fought for something if there was a genuine reason.
