A KEIGHLEY solicitor has joined the UK elite.

Francis O’Neill, principal solicitor of O’Neill Injury Solicitors, has been named as a Top Rated Solicitor on the website VouchedFor.co.uk.

The achievement came after clients recommended his services on the consumer ratings website VouchedFor.co.uk.

Based in Utley, Francis has been a solicitor specialising in personal injury claims for more 20 years.

He said: “There are thousands of solicitors in the UK so to be amongst the top rated is a real achievement.

“What makes it even more special is that I’ve been selected as a result of support from my clients. It means a lot that they’ve gone out of their way to help me to get this commendation.”

VouchedFor.co.uk helps people to find a solicitor or financial adviser, in a similar way to TripAdvisor.

Users can type in their location and the services they are looking for, and professionals are then listed based on client reviews.

Francis said: “Almost everyone will seek the services of a solicitor at some point in their lives, but it can be difficult to know what to look for.

“In my opinion client testimonials are an important vehicle when it comes to establishing trust which makes receiving this commendation even more significant.”
