  • Your help with this matter exceeded expectations. There was very short notice and Peter and Amy went above and beyond the call of duty to get information to us and the tribunal clerk in time for yesterdays tribunal. Your understanding of the processes involved and insight into all eventualities built my confidence exponentially and the positive result will make an enormous difference to the life of the individual we have been supporting.

  • Richard and his team went above and beyond getting me things to improve and help me. [He also] highlighted my case so hopefully what happened to me doesn't happen again. What he did for me was way too much to put in words.

  • Greg Poole was very kind and considerate during the process of applying for Court of Protection to be able to use my Mum's money to benefit her, due to her dementia and there being no power of attorney.

    Potter Rees Dolan were recommended to me from The Brain Charity, and though my Mum sadly did not make it to the point of being able to benefit from this, Greg was nevertheless sympathetic and kind when I sadly had to withdraw this request, even offering to further help with probate matters. Would recommend to others in the future.

  • I was referred to Potter Rees Dolan and Peter Renshaw, after having contacted the Headway Helpline (the National Charity for Brain Injury) in April 2018, when I desperately needed legal advice over a Benefit Claim. 

    Since then Peter has unerringly steered us through not just one but two claims on behalf of my son and has achieved the best possible outcomes imaginable in both cases. His considered professional advice, guidance and support has been absolutely invaluable and everything has been undertaken on a pro bono basis. I repeat what I have previously said “Mr Renshaw is a remarkable man and my son and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude”. 

    Thank you Peter and thanks also to Amy and Suzanne for the brilliant work you do.

    Wendy Campbell, Cornwall
