Report
Sue at Affinity Law helped me with a claim against Northern Rail this year. I fell over a 10inch wall at a station in the pitch black due to no lighting yet having a machine accessible to obtain tickets. I suffered Neck and shoulder damage and Sue and the team worked hard on my behalf and had it settled within 10 months. I highly recommend Affinity Law for any personal injury claims. Thank you Sue and the team. TOP NOTCH.

Extremely satisfied with the service affinity law provided. Smooth experience throughout the whole process. Sue Roberts and staff made sure there was constant communication and reassurance, which made me feel at ease. Even during the pandemic, Sue kept me updated on the progress of my case via emails/phone calls. I was happy with the outcome of my case. Would definitely trust affinity law to deal with any future cases if needed and would 100% recommend them to all my family and friends.
