Ms P.

Worked with thorntons on an injury at work claim. I had to do very little. Daniel who I dealt with was always pleasant and easy to speak with. Responded to emails and calls on a very quick and professional manner. Can't fault the firm at all. 100% would recommend.

Mr R.

Thornton’s were absolutely brilliant in dealing with my daughters claim. It wasn’t a straight forward case and I feel the support they gave me and the result they got her was fair. They went above and beyond. Arranging specialist meetings for my daughter to be properly assessed, helped me organise full GP records to make sure every piece of information was available for the claim. Their communication and updates where always reassuring, detailed and present with the work they did, along side the other parties they needed to also communicate with. I’d recommend Thornton’s to anyone wishing to seek justice on an injury claim. My former case handler Jamie Lyons and present handler Daniel McGinn where fabulous, understanding and very knowledgeable.

Ms H

From the very beginning Daniel McGinn not only listened but took time to explain everything (including costs) in easy to understand language. He kept me updated throughout the process which turned out to be much longer than expected. He was always approachable and responded in a timely manner. Many thanks Danny.

First class service from Thorntons. They kept me updated all the way and have proved that they are the best around. Daniel that dealt with my case, was always on the ball, he always kept me up to date and was professional and polite. Don't go anywhere else when in need. Five stars plus from me.

Mr D

Daniel McGinn-Dundee office You have always been prompt and done such a great job at explaining things to me via e-mail throughout this ordeal. I very much appreciate you taking the time to do so which has made this legal process easier during one of the darkest times in my life. Many thanks also to Gordon McBean & Michelle Adam.

Daniel McGinn has been nothing short of excellent when it came to handling my claim. We have had it going over 2 years through covid where I have faced multiple personal issues and had to move around a lot constantly with other things I was putting before the claim. Daniel continuously worked on it, even when I was hard to get hold of, always got back to me or contacted me as soon as he could and has just done an all round amazing job. 2 years of chasing me and other people, making sure everyone including myself was up to date and fully aware of where it was at all the time. Absolutely amazing job and would recommend Thorntons and Daniel in particular for absolutely anyone who needs a service they provide.

Mr L

I note from earlier reviews that Thorntons staff generally receive high praise from their clients. My experience confirms their superb service, I was represented by Daniel McGinn who initially put me at ease and guided me through a Personal Injury issue to a successful conclusion. Throughout the claim "Danny" was polite, reassuring and professional in all aspects keeping me up-dated at every stage together with giving opinion and perspective based on his experience. The process took longer than I expected but I was given realistic expectations throughout. If you are thinking about engaging Thorntons and are fortunate enough to get the services of Daniel McGinn you will, in my opinion, be in a safe pair of hands.
