Dr M.P., United Kingdom

“I had a road traffic accident in 2004 while on a work trip to Australia from the UK.  My planned 4 day visit turned into 11 months of hospital treatment in Melbourne where I had no friends or family.  My first memory of Peter Burt when he visited me in hospital was of a kind, reassuring professional, who provided clarity, guidance and support in a time of total chaos.  He understood my needs and limitations at a time when my life and health had been turned upside down.  At such a vulnerable time, his presence was crucial in giving me the confident knowledge that I was in safe hands despite my limited physical and mental capacities following my accident.  This allowed me to focus on my recovery without the exhausting stress of worrying about the legal side of the situation.  Throughout the process of resolving my case with TAC, Peter guided me through the options, complications and tasks involved with the utmost skill and care, and remained in close contact once I had returned to the UK, despite the distance and time differences involved.  He and his warm office team were always very accessible and responsive whenever I needed to be in touch.

Ultimately my case was resolved with the best possible financial outcome I could have hoped for.  This has made an enormous difference to my life now, in the years of returning to life following my accident, something I would not have realised whilst still in the midst of my acute physical recovery.  I know with absolute certainty that I would have been unable to achieve this without his outstanding professional expertise, his guidance and his encouragement through a long, complex, exhausting and emotional process.  He was undoubtedly the best legal counsel I could have wished for and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing the surest ally in their time of greatest need.  I am eternally grateful to Peter Burt for his major part in easing me through the most challenging years of my life and for ensuring that the challenge was followed by some recompense and comfort.”
