Lyons Davidson Solicitors - Bristol Reviews 

Myself and members of my family were involved in a None fault serious RTC in November 2023 in which a uninsured youth (now in prison)decided to come our side of the road at speed through traffic lights on red and collided with us. leaving all of my family members with injuries.
My daughter came off the worse with a broken neck and paralysis in hands and legs.
I would like to say that Lyons Davidson Solicitors’s took our cases on from start to finish, Kerry, Frances and Kelly went above and beyond to bring our claims to a conclusion, they really did become part of our family and still want us to update them with our daughters rehabilitation journey.
Although we do wish our lovely daughter could be the same has she was before the incident the knowing she can with the compensation and rehabilitation try and lead some sort of life.
Again this is thanks to Kerry, Frances and Kelly. At Lyons Davidson.
Thank you all so much xx

Nelay represented us in a civil claim against a car salesman. He was professional, courteous and patient.

Nelay helped in mediating a settlement between us and the salesman recovering a significant portion of our money, which otherwise would have involved a lengthy and costly court process. Something we were trying to avoid.

I would recommend Lyons Davidson and Nelay, and was happy to be represented by them.

I have been very impressed with Matthew Dorrington, he provided regular and valid updates on the progress of my claim, keeping me updated all the time. He also took the time to explain the number of stages and approximate timeframes. He had compassion on how stressful this process can be as I have not done this before. He provided excellent customer satisfaction and I would recommend Lyons Davidson Solicitors to family and friends.

Thank you Matt.

Jazmin Mahmood helped massively regarding my claim getting full refund back

Nadia Brown from the Bristol Office was excellent in replying to my questions and her honest advice allowed the case to come a conclusion before going to Court. Excellent service

Freya was professional and helpful throughout the full process and took time to explain anything i was unsure about no lengthy waits on hold really puts the client first was a pleasure knowing and talking to Freya over the time

Jonathan at Lyons Davidson (LD) gave us tremendous support throughout a difficult time. He was always available within LD's response times always giving us clear advice.
Our claim took over 3 years to reach a successful conclusion at mediation where Jonathan was very supportive.
The time to reach a conclusion is no reflection on LD but rather an indication of the pace the law works at.

First class! Excellent communication. Swift, clear responses.
Jonathan was extremely kind and personable. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Very poor service from the first message you sent us.
We felt thoroughly mucked around, like pawns in a game and we didn't know the rules.

You wrote to say you'd reviewed all the evidence of our case and advised we settled for 50:50. After about two weeks of trying to contact you about this on the portal, I talked to someone on the phone and was told you had no evidence from our car insurer and had read nothing. Your company didn't ask for the information and I had to chase you multiple times to do this.

In addition, multiple times we received notifications saying you'd sent us letters or online messages and we received none. Again, I had to chase this.

Then you said you'd made a mistake and our case couldn't go to mediation because it happened in Feb 2025.

The whole process was baffling for us as lay people. The court pack of evidence was only sent the day before the case which was too late to do any corrections or discuss it.

No advice was given about how to prepare for court or what to expect so once again I had to phone to ask.This all meant we couldn't trust you.

The whole thing has been awful.

Please start to be truthful about what you say to clients. Complete tasks you say you will complete, actually gather evidence and read it before advising clients. Offer clear advise that's based on your work to read evidence.

Unfortunately, I am having to submit a Subject Access Request to get access to my closing letter so that the PHSO can pursue process. It's a shame they just blank you after you are no more use to them. Another firm who reviewed my case on contingency answered an enquiry six months later on the same day. They just disappear or are they closed permanently? I am very upset and medical negligence is not a great thing to go through.

My late father was a barrister, and as a result I have always had a deep respect for the legal profession. Sadly, my experience with Lyons Davidson has significantly undermined that faith.

Over the course of four years, communication has been consistently poor. Emails and portal queries have gone unanswered, telephone contact has been extremely difficult, and I have repeatedly had to chase for updates. My case handler has changed at least three times, resulting in a lack of continuity and accountability.

The medical assessment arranged felt rushed and impersonal. Due to the severity of my back pain, I sought a private specialist consultation at my own expense. Despite providing this report, I was informed it would not be relied upon. I also had to gather and supply my own medical records, which I would have expected my solicitors to obtain directly.

Although an award has now been agreed and paid, I am still awaiting receipt of the funds due to me. After four years, this is both frustrating and deeply disappointing.

Overall, the experience has been marked by delay, poor communication and a lack of client care. It has been an exhausting and disheartening process.

If your insurer appoints Lyons Davidson, request another solicitor. DO NOT USE!

Had a brilliant experience working with Lyons Davidson, Nelay Joshi our contact guided us throughout the whole legal process, and his advice and expertise was invaluable.

Thank You Nelay and thank you Lyons Davidson.

Lyons Davidson were really good, they kept me informed through their portal,Maya and her team were friendly and helpful throughout.It was just unfortunate that the insurance company that was dealing with my claim were very slow and we had to take them to court.I think 4years to decide on an car accident claim is excessive and should be looked into.The accident was on 16/09/2021

Great, helpful people with good advice and easy communication, always on time, fast with getting things done. Couldn’t be happier and could not recommend more.

Accident date: 27/03/2025
I am very happy with the result of my accident claim. Mr T Blake and his staff of Lyons Davidson Solicitors worked very hard and produced excellent result.
It was not an easy accident case but result of my case is brilliant.
Compensation is healthy. I have no words to express my thanks. Very Well done. My case was closed 16/2/2026.
