Testimonials

I have been asked to provide some feedback on Sarah Clarke, who has assisted us several claims. I find the whole experience working with Sarah to be very professional and 100% commitment to the tasks at hand. She responds promptly to all queries made with her, and goes over and above her instruction. She deals with the clients professionally and in a caring manner, putting them at ease. Sarah is very knowledgeable with regards to the claims I have instructed her on and has obtained fantastic results. Outcome of hearings are reported back to us straightaway and the reports are very detailed and concise. Would not hesitate to instruct Sarah on any future claims. She is a credit to the profession.

Debbie Bullough Keoghs

We instructed Sarah on a Public Liability Multi Track Claim back in early 2018 and she stuck with the matter on a CFA right through to her success at a 2 day trial in Jan 2022 and for this and all the other cases she has been a proven success on, I am happy to offer my recommendation of Sarah to anyone reading this testimony. Throughout this case as a recent example, she provided fantastic assistance and guidance, whether this was in drafting particulars, attending hearings or providing quantum and procedural guidance she put 110% in and I could not be more grateful. Prior to the trial Sarah was in constant communication to make sure the claim was set for trial as best as possible to ensure the highest chances of success for our client and she really took the time to provide a strong, and the only, Skeleton argument filed and even spent an hour each day ahead of the hearing with the claimant and witnesses to put them at ease and bring out their confidence to give clear evidence and these additional efforts really made the difference and had it not been for Sarah and it being in her character to go the extra mile, as she has also done on many other cases that we’ve worked together on, we may not have had as many successful cases and I hope we have more to come!

I found Sarah to be prompt, thorough and approachable. It was easy to pick up the phone and discuss general issues in the case and / or problem solving. Sarah continued to be actively involved in the case until a conclusion was reached, and her input included further advice and a conference with the Claimant. I look forward to instructing Sarah again in the future.

The application was not a straightforward application and although Ms Clarke received the papers mid-morning for the afternoon hearing the result was the desired outcome. Cannot thank Ms Clarke and Clerksroom enough for the service and representation provide for this hearing.
