What a fantastic job Mr Wilson did for us at the trial, his evidence was extremely well delivered under some tough cross examination and was probably one of the best experts I have seen in the witness box; calm, measured and helpful to the court.

Defendant Solicitor

I have been using the services of Somek & Associates now for quite a few years and will continue to do so, because the experts instructed are very efficient and well-measured in medicolegal reporting and the administration team from instruction to completion are first class.

Claimant Solicitor

We were impressed with Ms Boothroyd’s report which was detailed and wide ranging. She was great with the client and provided a balanced view overall. We would happily instruct her again
