Personal Injury.
I injured my hand at work, and throughout the entire process, Rebecca was brilliant. She attended to every need I had and assisted me. She put my mind at ease throughout the whole ordeal. I could not recommend Rebecca highly enough.

No hesitation in recommending Rebecca at Sweeney Miller
Rebecca at Sweeney Miller Law has been a pleasure to deal with in what has been a very traumatic time for me going through a divorce. She is on the ball, she kept me up-to-date every step of the way. I have never had to wait or been left wondering what is going on, she is quick, effective, professional and genuinely cares. Although we could not see my case through to the final stages, if in future, I have any legal requirements I will be contacting Rebecca as my first point of call. Thank you so much Rebecca for all your help and your advice. Your support has been invaluable in getting me to this point.
