Now that the dust has settled a little on a very busy few days, I just wanted to extend my gratitude to you and Kim for overseeing our complicated sale and onwards purchase. I know our sale was particularly onerous but your professionalism and dedication helped us achieve what we feared on numerous occasions was an impossible task. Thank you. Our new home is absolutely wonderful and we leave very happy customers.
James Thomas,
As with the last house move Beers coordinated, this one was efficiently handled and Beers kept us informed at all times. It's a weight off knowing that you're on top of everything, and you diligently chased other parties in the chain to keep their side of things moving. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beers to anyone looking to move house, I wouldn't use anyone else!
Daniel Housego-Watts,
Outstanding in every way. Efficiency, knowledge, advice.  Excellent value for money.  I cannot speak highly enough of both lawyers who dealt with my legal matters.  Amazing. All other staff were also wonderful, polite and efficient.
Dr S Chilvers
Totally excellent service throughout. An 'intricate, odd, complex, basically difficult house purchase. Very sincere thanks Paul

Ian Huxham
Partner, Head of Personal Injury
Plymouth 01752 246009
Ian.Huxham@beersllp.com

Ian was admitted as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives in 1990, and has over 30 years experience dealing with litigation disputes in the Torbay, Totnes, Exeter, and Newton Abbot areas.

Ian joined Beers LLP in 2013 and specialises in personal injury claims, particularly those relating to industrial disease.

Away from the office Ian enjoys playing music, walking and spending time with his family.

Thank you very much asking me to take part in your Client Survey. I was recommended to use Beers by Mr. M. Hembrough and also by Mr. P. Housego both of whom I believe are known to Beers. I telephone Beers and had a very informative conversation with Mr. A. Bushall. He asked me for brief details of my claim and explained in detail the process and the likelihood of my claim being upheld and the time line involved which made me feel a lot more confident. This is an area of law that I am unfamiliar with and was very helpful. Within a few days I received in the post a letter of authorization and various other papers to be completed. I returned these duly signed and then in no time at all I was contacted by Mr. I. Huxham who retained conduct of my case until its conclusion. Mr. Huxham kept me advised on every mile stone that the case reached. He even talked me through what I could expect when I went to see the Consultant Surgeon and when it was time for my daughter and I to make a formal statement Mr. Huxham showed endless patience in explaining exactly what was required. The defendant was the Civil Service and their solicitors were Government Solicitors. Anything to do with the Civil Service is notoriously long winded and where possible the Ostrich policy is followed, but Mr. Huxham stuck with my case. He made applications to the court on my behalf as I was limited with the time frame. He kept me informed every step of the way and in language which I could understand. This made the whole and very lengthy process so much easier to understand. Even when I lost my nerve and thought it wasn’t worth carrying on Mr. Huxham spent a great deal of time very late in the day going over my case with me and reassuring me. Without Mr. Huxham’s diligence, perseverance and patience I am absolutely convinced we would not have had the positive outcome we had. Mr. Huxham is the epitome of the profession which he had chosen to make his own. I have no doubt that he is as giving of his time and knowledge to all of Beers clients which he represents. With all that said, I would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending Beers LLP to anyone for any legal matter. I wish Beers and Mr. Huxham every success in the future.
Mary Anne Gugan,
I would like to add how very happy and satisfied I was with Ian. He handled my case so efficiently and with such precision. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Ian's service to anyone.
