Sintons handled my personal injury…

Sintons handled my personal injury claim with exceptional care. I always felt able to contact David Knipe whenever I needed support, and he consistently provided clear, straightforward advice without ever being condescending. I was kept fully involved in every decision and updated promptly as the case progressed. I’m extremely happy with the outcome and genuinely appreciative of all the hard work from everyone at Sintons.

David Knipe and Sintons were great to deal with. They thoroughly investigated my injuries and focused on rehabilitation (which included surgery) despite challenging situations imposed through the Defendants conduct. Ultimately my case settled for far more than I had ever thought possible. I highly recommend David Knipe and Sintons.

Professional and Transparent

I was very pleased with the service provided by David Knipe and Sintons. Throughout this difficult time, communication was clear, professional, and handled with sensitivity. Although the legal framework limited compensation available to us, I appreciated the efforts made on our behalf, particularly in helping us recover expenses related to my father’s death. The support and honesty was truly valued.

Excellent service and communication throughout. Sintons was recommended to me by my tax advisor when needing to wind up a trust. From the outset, communication was clear, replies to emails were quick (never more than one working day), and the required work was carried out speedily. Both Brook and Paul were very polite and responsive throughout. Based upon my experience I would have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Highly recommend

I have been very satisfied with the service, professionalism, and reliability provided by SINTONS. Despite the difficulties in the case, they were able to bring it to a successful conclusion and obtain the compensation we were aiming for.

I would rate their customer service as excellent — the support was always at a high level, with great attention to detail. It was also very easy to contact SINTOS whenever needed.

Ella Wojcik was on top of my case from start to finish, and I would highly recommend her. She was professional, friendly, helpful, and always willing to explain each stage of the process.

Great experience

Thomas Cummings and Peter Robson provided excellent legal advice and support on a property dispute in my late father's estate. They took pains to explain everything really clearly and their work was thorough, thoughtful and led quickly to a successful result. Both Peter and Thomas are really approachable and detail oriented people, which I think are excellent qualities in legal professionals. I feel more confident knowing that there are great people like this who will support you when you come up against one of life's roadblocks.

Great firm for a house sale!

Can’t recommend Anna Barton & Suzanne Dixon enough. They were absolutely brilliant in dealing with the sale of my house. Helpful, efficient, knowledgeable and just generally very easy to deal with. I always felt like I was in safe hands and they steadied my nerves when things got a bit tense! Thank you so much!

I had an excellent experience with Sintons and I’m very grateful for their support during a difficult time. The Sintons team (which included David Knipe, Anna Malinowska and Lucas Wojcik) was professional, supportive, and always kept me informed. David Knipe was especially helpful – professional, patient, and clearly guided me through the process. It’s thanks to him and the team that I felt looked after and achieved a fair outcome. I truly appreciate their work and highly recommend them to others.

Leg claim

David Knipe was extremely helpful throughout my case which started in my yearly teens and due to the complexity of injuries ended in my early 20’s!! David was extremely knowledgeable and my family and I feel he handled my case perfectly. Not only did he offer excellent legal advice throughout, but I found him to be very friendly. If anyone I know needs similar legal advice then I highly recommend Sintons and David Knipe

Leg injury claim

I would like to praise Sintons and especially Mr. David Knipe who handled my case and the team who supported him for their professionalism and excellent communication via email and video calls.
Although I knew from the beginning that the whole process would take time, I understand that it was necessary to ensure nothing was missed and to maximise rehabilitation to give me the best possible outcome following my serious injuries. Rehabilitation and support such as free gym access very close to home was very helpful.

Many thanks to Miss Lowyer Sarah…

Many thanks to Miss Lowyer Sarah Knowles and Mrs Lowyer Ana Boba for their professionalism and support. as I said before, I highly recommend this law firm LAW SINTONS, for the professionalism they have shown. First of all for me and the above mentioned people I have no words to thank you and all the while I respectfully ask you to forgive me if against my will I may have created stress due to the factors of frustrations that have accumulated in my life, because I am not perfect, this is one of the reasons why I warmly recommend and I am proud and happy to recommend the company LAW SINTONS, because you will have full support from all points of view from the above mentioned persons and extraordinary professionalism, regardless of whether you are Romanian English or what nationality you are, your documents are translated into your language so that you can understand the circumstances involved. Of course I will make my recommendation fully in all respects. You are the firsta company I have collaborated with in the UK and you are professional, kind and dedicate yourself body and soul to the lives of road accident victims, which if it were up to me I think you would deserve 50% of the claim and not 25%! Yes, I mention and I am aware that the work that the mentioned law firm does. It's a lot of stress and of course time heals them all. Provided that the professionalism of the LAW SINTONS law firm will explain each stage separately, what are the preliminary steps and my recommendations, you will have them as I stated before and I am proud and happy to have met you and thank you for your support.

David Knipe

Not being sure which solicitor company to help me as there are so many. I know I made an excellent decision by choosing Sintons. David Knipe personally dealt with my case and I could not fault him in anyway. Always felt comfortable with him even during some very hard and low points during the case. Everything always explained,every question answered. Always had my best interests come first. Thankyou so much David Knipe. It’s been a journey and successful at that. 👍🤝
