    What our clients say

    "Wixted was relentless in pursuing my claim — I couldn’t have done it without them. Their helpful and informative communication by email, letter, and phone kept me reassured. A massive thank you to Tim Hampson for his support and not giving up, which led to a great success for both sides. I’d advise anyone to use Wixted for future claims. "

    Glester Clarke

    "I cannot rate the services, experience and professionalism of Wixted and Co highly enough. Mark's ability to grasp the situation was impressive. He built a strong case that resulted in a significant settlement. If you feel you’ve been treated unfairly, Mark and his team are the people that you need in your corner. 10/10. "

    Mr. R

    "It's not always easy to seek help but I’m glad I did. A failed investment and difficult communications left me frustrated. Wixted & Co achieved what I could not — calmly, without fuss and keeping me informed. Thank you guys."

    Martin

    "Right the way through this process — almost two years — Wixted kept me informed. They are certainly experts in their field and everything they said would happen certainly did. You can certainly put your trust in this company. "

    Brian Askew

    "Our claim was handled by Sarah Eason. She took time to talk me through the process and was diligent in every respect. The case was settled out of court, and we would not have achieved this result without Sarah’s professionalism and attention to detail."

    Clear, Fair and Risk-Free Fees

    Our No Win No Fee service is designed to make claiming simple and risk-free — you only pay if your case is successful, with fees capped for complete clarity.

    For court-based cases, we use a Conditional Fee Agreement: no fee if you lose, and a capped success fee (usually 20% + VAT) if you win. For non-court claims, we use a Contingency Fee Agreement, charging a flat percentage of your compensation within strict regulator limits. Both options are designed to keep costs fair and transparent.
