Help Requested - Know A Good Solicitor?
Hello all
It feels a bit tacky to be asking for this on prune but can anyone recommend a good solicitors practice for military accident litigation? I have got to look after my family's future and I have been medically discharged due to an injury in the sand pit. Please don't use this thread for a slanging match but do feel free to PM me or reply on here.
Thanks in advance.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
See if you join in with this lot - Soldiers to sue MoD for lives blighted by Iraq
.....15 British soldiers who recently served in Iraq are to sue the government over claims it failed to help them cope with the psychological trauma of the conflict. The Observer has learnt the servicemen, who include senior officers, will launch legal action against the Ministry of Defence over allegations of 'medical negiglence.' They are the first cases of litigation brought by troops involved in the current conflict and will reignite concerns over its duty of care. Mark McGhee of Manchester-based Linda Myers Solicitors said the cases involved men who had told the Army they were suffering serious psychological trauma following service in Iraq, but did not receive the appropriate help.

The one and only Gilbert Blades is your man
Some years ago I got tangled up in a messy post-happy hour “defenestration incident” (at least that was what the AOC called it…) which resulted in the requirement for legal representation. After some very careful research, including a call to a mate at STC P1, we decided not to use Gilbert Blades as he was in semi-retirement and less of the 'sure thing' than he used to be.
We ended up using Tony Miles – based in Bristol, but I’m afraid I don’t have his contact details here. Good luck btw, and I hope that you injury does not cause you long term problems.

Thanks very much to all who posted and PM'd. I have now engaged a solicitor (engaged in the commercial sense rather than shooting him!) and am proceeding. I'll update you all when I get a result.....so don't hold your breath.
