The Lexcel scheme recognises firms which achieve excellence in legal practice management and client care. Highlighting 13 areas of good practice, the Lexcel assessors described JMK Solicitors as having “gone above and beyond compliance with the standard”.

The auditors found that “no non-compliances have been raised in the company’s six-year certification history which continues to demonstrate excellent performance”.

Maurece Hutchinson, managing director at JMK Solicitors, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the Lexcel Quality Mark once again. This full reaccreditation certifies the firm for the next three years subject to annual visits.

“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 both technology and our team to ensure we maintain the high standard set by the Lexcel quality mark and accreditation.

“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.”

She added: “We pride ourselves in putting our clients first and we strive to do our absolute best for them, which is reflected by the fact that 99% of our clients would recommend us.

“We are also delighted to announce that we have opened a new office in Belfast on the Andersonstown Road this year to provide a personal service to clients in west Belfast.”
