Broken Tooth claim


I’m incredibly grateful to my solicitor Mrs Heidie and her team for the outstanding support and dedication throughout my claim. After suffering a broken tooth due to a foreign object in a protein bar, I wasn’t sure how to proceed. From the very start, my solicitor was reassuring, professional, and fully committed to my case.
They fought hard for over a year and successfully secured the compensation I deserved. Their communication was excellent – always keeping me updated and explaining everything clearly. I truly felt like they had my best interests at heart every step of the way.
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the way my case was handled. If you’re looking for a solicitor who will genuinely fight for you and provide top-quality service, I highly recommend them!

Acquisition of New branch with associated staff retained

We were supported by Kerry and Peter from Actons in the successful purchase of a property in Newark, along with associated elements of a business acquisition. Their guidance throughout what turned out to be a relatively involved process was consistently professional, insightful, and reassuring. Their clear communication and practical advice made a real difference at every stage. Highly recommended.

Personal injury claim

I'd like to thank Actons solicitors and especially Lisa O'Rourke for their absolute professionalism throughout my claim.
From the our first conversation to the last Lisa's expertise and guidance was first class. Always put me at ease and was always straight talking and explained anything I asked her which I think is really important to any client in any claim. I would have no hesitation in passing Actons number to anybody.

High Pressure Purchase!

We were given 8 weeks to complete a purchase on a large commercial property and from the first moment we began negotiations Actons have been available, professional and efficient. We completed the sale in 6 weeks, and it was complicated in places, but Actons handled everything smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Within the purchase there were leases for sitting tenants and nothing phased Kerry, she dealt with everything knowledgably and quickly. I would recommend Actons, Kerry Elliott in particular and we wouldn't use anyone else.
