New figures from the Department for Communities’ compensation recovery unit shows that JMK was instructed in 1,939 cases last year, more than double the next law firm providing personal injury claims services.

JMK now offers services from four offices in Newry, Derry~Londonderry, Belfast city centre and west Belfast.

Managing director Maurece Hutchinson said: “We pride ourselves in putting our clients first and offering a personal service and we strive to do our absolute best for them, which is also reflected in our 99 per cent client recommendation rate.

“Our status as the number one personal injury law firm for a decade is a direct result of our dedication to client care, our staff go above and beyond for our clients, ensuring that our core values as a business are part of all our processes.

“Our investment in a new TV advertisement, now airing across the province, further highlights our focus on our personal, caring approach at JMK Solicitors and our mission to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients with the least stress.”

The practice is accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), the UK-wide association fighting for the rights of injured people for over 25 years.

The JMK Solicitors team includes Andrew Moore, Sinead Toal and Una O’Neill, who are accredited by APIL as senior litigators, and Maurece Hutchinson, who received the Fellow accreditation in 2019.

The firm has also held the Lexcel accreditation for seven years, a quality mark for the legal profession administered by the Law Society of Northern Ireland, which recognises firms which achieve excellence in legal practice management and client care.

Ms Hutchinson said: “As a specialist law firm operating solely in the area of personal injury claims and road traffic accidents, we will continue to make a significant investment in our team to ensure we maintain the high client care standard set by the Lexcel quality mark and accreditation.

“Along with our number one status and 99 per cent recommendation rate from former happy clients, the accreditation is a reassurance for our clients that they are dealing with a reputable firm that works above the recognised standards of excellence in legal practice and client care.

“At JMK we always place people at the heart of our business and strive to work hard to achieve the best outcome for our clients across NI.”
