I finally got my accident case settled and was fully compensated yesterday! All thanks to Dom!
Since the day I walked into the office right until yesterday, Dominic has been super helpful and professional!
I feel like my case was handled with a lot of effort and care and especially Dom was relentless putting my interest at the top!
Highly recommended. 👍🏻

Just a note to say how professional and efficient Domenico Nigliazzo was at processing my accident claim. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone looking for a highly professional and efficient service at a very reasonable price - for their claim.

After the tragic death of my son and a 2 year fight with a well known UK insurance company who refused to pay out on his life cover policy.
A friend suggested l contact Domenico from Shanahans Solicitors for some professional help, from the out set he was very sympathetic after hearing what had happened and agreed to fight my sons claim.
From day one he has been in the face of the insurance company and has achieved a good out come for my son and my family, well done Dom.
l would recommend Shanahans 100% and l will use them again if needed.
