Sarah Towler and the team changed my life and helped me win my negligence case against my local hospital after I was left with lifelong injuries following the birth of my second child. I was treated with compassion and empathy. She really believed in me and my case and was supportive not only as a solicitor but as a person. I wanted a sense of justice and to bring the negligence to the attention of the hospital so that it would not happen again to someone else. Not only did I achieve this, but I was also able to get a medical diagnosis from the experts that had been missed by the NHS. I am able to move forward with my life and to get the help required which would not have been possible otherwise. It was an emotional and happy ending for us and I am forever grateful to Sarah and her team.
