Our Services
Abuse Law
We know victims and their families need to be listened to and understood. When dealing with civil claims and scheme claims for abuse victims, Middleton Law is very much aware the process requires careful support, something we always strive to provide. Sometimes open acknowledgment of the abuse and the damage it has caused is required before a victim can move forward.
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority Claims (CICA)
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) is a government funded organisation set up to compensate innocent victims of violent crimes. Compensation awards range from £1,000 to £500,000 and individuals can make claims directly but by using our services the process will be simpler, the potential for a successful claim greater, and the claim value is likely to be higher.
Education Law
For all young people and their families a suitable education is paramount. When issues arise and education is disrupted it can be extremely stressful. Our expert solicitors at Middleton Law can help navigate the minefield of processes that are engaged when dealing with schools, colleges, and local authorities. We particularly offer support to young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
Employment Law for Employees
Whether you’re an employee, self-employed, a contractor or other worker, we can help with issues that arise at work including the end of any contract or discrimination issues that may arise. If you are being dismissed or employment is ending with a settlement agreement we can advise and help you through the process so the best possible outcome is achieved.
Maritime Law
Tim Reynolds, a Specialist Lawyer with over three decades experience in the sector, leads our maritime law team. We offer assistance to individuals in relation to all aspects of the production, ownership and use of leisure and small commercial craft. We also offer legal advice on the operation, development and disposal of shore side properties and businesses.
Medical Negligence
Medical professionals and healthcare organisations have a legal duty of care towards their patients. Medical negligence can arise from the failures of all medical professionals, including for instance GPs, doctors, nurses, surgeons, midwives, opticians and dentists. The consequences of such failures can be life-altering and, in some cases, even fatal but our accredited expert team have expertise from handling some of the most complex cases and can sensitively guide you through the process of making a claim effectively.
Personal Injury
When you or a loved one suffers an injury as the result of an accident at work or in a public place we will help you to get the best possible outcome to your case, secure compensation and help with your recovery. Our accredited expert team have many years of experience handling some of the most complex cases. We can guide you through the process of making a claim in the most sensitive and effective way.
Property Litigation
Disputes can be daunting and stressful, by reason of substance, cost and potential outcome.
Our expert Commercial and Property Litigation team are sensitive to these pressures and is tenacious in its resolve to achieve the best solutions as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
Road Traffic Defence
Our expert Road Traffic Specialist solicitor, Kate Smith, has over 25 years’ experience defending clients accused of Road Traffic offences and offers a free initial consultation and advice if you find yourself in this situation. Your Driving Licence is precious and losing it could have a huge impact on your livelihood and those that depend upon you and we are experienced in dealing with all types of Road Traffic Offences.
Wills and LPA
It is essential to ensure that after you die, your assets and possessions (your estate) will go to the people and organisations you choose (your beneficiaries), such as family members, friends and charities you want to support. Making a Will without using a solicitor can result in mistakes or something unclear. Errors in your Will could even make it invalid. We can help you to create a valid and tax efficient Will without the jargon.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Without a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) loved ones have no authority to help when someone becomes incapacitated. Anyone can become incapacitated at any point in their life. In many ways an LPA can be more crucial than a Will because it enables decisions to made which affect the living person’s life. We will guide you through the process of creating a Lasting Power of Attorney to make it as simple as possible for you and those you choose as your ‘attorneys’ with the power to make decisions on your behalf.
Professional Negligence
When a business or individual provides professional services to those reliant on those services, that professional has a duty to deliver those services with reasonable care and skill.
