Bad advice bad service

You only provided the minimum claim and accepted the “expert valuation “ despite my explicit instuction that it was only a partial settlement. I was then forced to buy an inferior vehicle as I had no other means of transport. Aneqivalent vehicle would have cost about £3000 more.
You then advised me that any further claim would be an abuse of the court.
You then claimed £10000 fortune loan car - about 4 times the cost of a regular rental.
The whole process seems to be self serving to the detriment of the client.

I am extremely disappointed with OCL Solicitors

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from OCL Solicitors regarding my car accident claim from 8 September 2023.

The accident was not my fault, and the other party accepted liability from the beginning, so this should have been a straightforward case. Despite that, I have experienced nearly 3 years of delays, poor communication, and constant chasing for updates.

After numerous phone calls, I was finally sent documents to sign on 07/05/2026 and was told that I would receive my settlement within 20 days. The settlement amount itself is only around £240, so this is not a large or complicated claim.

However, when I called again today (09/06/2026) for an update, my case handler, Bethany Hopson, informed me that although the compensation amount had been agreed, there was an issue with the solicitor’s fees. I was then told they would need to send another offer and that I must wait yet another 20 days.

How can a straightforward non-fault claim take almost 3 years to settle for just £240?

Throughout this process, I have had to constantly chase for information instead of being kept updated properly. The delays and lack of urgency have been incredibly frustrating and stressful.

I would not recommend OCL Solicitors based on my experience.

Exceptional Support, Professionalism, and Dedication Throughout My RTC Claim

I cannot thank Daniel Shepherd enough for the outstanding support he has provided throughout my RTC claim. It has been a long and sometimes challenging process, but Daniel has been there every step of the way with professionalism, patience, and genuine care.

From the very beginning, he kept me fully informed, explaining each stage of the claim clearly and making sure I always understood what was happening. His communication has been excellent throughout, and he has consistently been responsive, supportive, and reassuring whenever I had questions or concerns.

What really sets Daniel apart is his commitment to going above and beyond for his clients. He never made me feel like just another case number; instead, he treated me with respect, understanding, and empathy during what can often be a stressful experience. His diligence and attention to detail gave me confidence that my claim was being handled in the best possible way.

Daniel’s customer service skills are second to none, and his dedication to achieving the best outcome for his clients is evident in everything he does. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance following a road traffic accident.

Thank you, Daniel, for all your hard work, support, and professionalism throughout this journey. It has been greatly appreciated.

OCL Solicitors - Great Solicitors

From start to finish (and cont) OCL have supported me.

I was the victim of an RTC on Friday 13th March 2026.

After being taken to hospital and being released, I had to set about recovery and claiming compensation.

OCL contacted me and offered their services.

I wanted to deal with this myself and as the driver’s insurance company asked to to get in to touch I wanted ti give them a chance.

Gabby has been attentive to my situation throughout.

She has stayed in constant communication and terms of guiding me through the process of arranging being examined, medical treatments and agreeing a fair settlement fee.

Even now, they have assisted in changing the physio to another nearer to me.

I am happy to recommend using OCL Solicitors and in particular Gabby if a situation arises where needed.

I know I will be doing so if needed again.
