Lyons Davidson Solicitors - Bristol Reviews 

Long delays and string of different paralegals.
Insurance Company clients are easy-money.
Haste to throw out your matter as soon as you complain.
Avoid if you can.

LyonDavidson solicitors dealt with my car accident claim. The solicitor dealt with my claim in a professional manner and constantly kept me updated on the progress of my case.My case concluded on the 19th September 2025.

The start of the process wasn’t my best experience with the company. Since David Bushell took the helm, ( with a little help from James Chapman ) it has been a totally professional process with a positive outcome.

David Ollivere, my Solicitor, was very professional. He explained my situation legally and the options open to me very clearly and often using other case examples which really helped make the point he was wanting to demonstrate. He was very efficient administratively, responding in a timely way. I also found him supportive, kind and empathic - I felt he was very much on my side, which was very important to me. He gave good advice which proved to be just the right way forward. I can highly recommend David and Lyons Davidson.

A seamless experience from start to finish.
Great communication from my case handler throughout.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Patience with someone not used to the legal processes and doing things online polite and considerate

Communication was excellent, responsive and clear. Initially by Andy Vraitch, then taken over by Adam Sedgwick, the matter (a road traffic accident) was handled professionally and carefully, leading to a judgement 100% in our favour. The case took well over a year to resolve, but this was entirely due to the court system and was no reflection on Andy or Adam's handling of the matter. I am entirely satisfied with the service received.

Andy Vraitch managed my file with professionalism, responded to enquiries speedily and was extremely helpful throughout. He provided advice and guidance when required and ensured I was fully supported throughout.

Following a horrific road traffic collision in September 2022 I was assigned Mr David Bushell to handle my personal injuries claim. I could not have been assigned a more experienced, compassionate, extremely knowledgable, most helpful Senior Associate of Lyons Davidson.
This period of my life and that of my family has been horrific to say the least but the support I have received from David has been first class.
From day one all correspondence was made direct to David's email as well as his direct telephone number which I found reassuring rather than going through a portal/switchboard.
It is coming up to the three year anniversary of the RTC and a settlement has been reached recently with the help, knowledge and support of David.
The sudden passing of my husband during this period has shocked and devastated our whole family and David has shown so much compassion to us and has taken this into account whilst trying to achieve the best outcome regarding the settlement. Thank you David!!

I was involved in a multi car accident (not my fault) , which made things more complicated. It took over a year to resolve. Lyons Davidson, in particular Patrick, my case handler was helpful.

I was kept well up to date with a process I am unfamiliar with as I've never been in the situation of needing legal support before. Communications were timely and helpful and I was pleased with the advice given and actions taken on my behalf which led to a satisfying outcome. Much appreciated, thank you.

Very satisfied with the service I received and felt they had reviewed my case thoroughly, even though it was not possible to take it further.

The Service Was Very Good Would Highly Recommend

Really well handle after nearly years well done

Not a good experience at all, took nearly 4 years (yes that's 4 years) to settle a clear proven case of vet negligence. Poor communication right the way through, used unqualified staff, often working 3 day week, or half days. No responsiveness or urgency, nearly cost me the case, case could have been settled in 18 months. Would not recommend to any client in my situation.

Hi, I found the services that Lyons Davidson's provided were excellent especially by my case handler, he was very professional and his guidance and advice helped me received a satisfactory outcome following my accident, their systems were very user friendly.

The accident happened in 2022. Whilst I understand these things take time to resolve it is only when Sian took over that movement appeared to progress. Those before hand were poor. Communication was practically non existent, verbally and electronically.
Sian worked hard to bring the case to a conclusion and I was kept informed at all stages. My daughter is also dealing with your firm and her experience is appalling. No one replies to her questions. If you would like more information , I would gladly send it to you as this is damaging your reputation.

we were dealt with in a very professional manner.
we were kept informed throughout and in every stage of proceedings and couldn't ask for more attention

It was many months before I was even contacted by anyone after constant attempts to make contact with them. Progress was extremely slow despite very clear CCTV footage of the incident. It still took over 12 months for my case to be settled. Most of the work was done by Jazmin Mahmood who was very friendly and informative when I could get in contact.Bethany Chandler appeared at the end. I am grateful for getting my case settled in the end but I'm sure it could have been settled much quicker. The legal system in this country is painfully slow even when the evidence is clear.

the 'experience' only became good when my mum's case was taken up by Rita Kaakunga-Arnold - before Rita was involved things were not so good.... Rita was excellent - professional, attentive and caring, a credit to the company and the human race.
