Testimonials
Hi Michael, Thank you so much for all of your help and support. I immediately felt at ease when we met at court. What a relief that not only did you get the CCJ set aside and the debt written off but you managed to get the other side to pay me costs! What an amazing result! I would recommend you in a heartbeat. Again I cannot thank you enough.
Michael (Shaw)was professional, friendly, informative and responsive at every point of the process. I have been fully involved throughout and made to feel that my views and opinions were valued. I am extremely impressed. Thank you very much.
I write to thank you [Michael Shaw] for the quick and efficient way that you have handled my personal injury case. I had instructed another firm previously and I was told by many of my friends that this case would not be resolved because it had been too long since the accident but you have completely turned that on it's head. Thank you.

Recipients of your data
Depending on the nature of your case, data may be shared with courts and tribunals, your solicitors or agents, witnesses, experts, other legal representatives, ombudsmen or regulators, education and examining bodies, and current, past or prospective employers.
Special categories of data
