Testimonials

What do our customers think?

We used FTS on a unique alcohol testing case and the whole process from start to finish was excellent. The guidance before the instruction was really helpful in deciding what we should be looking for, the bespoke Part 25 went down a treat with the Court and the quality of the final report was outstanding. The evidence provided by FTS was significant assistance in concluding the proceedings in a timely way as there was no doubt about the alcohol usage by the parent in question. This was our first instruction but it certainly won’t be our last!

I have used FTS for some 4 years now, consider them as part of our team and I am happy to recommend them, they add value to our cases by using their experience and expertise to provide reports in which results are considered in context of all potential influences and provide an opinion on the findings. Funding is not an issue with our legal aid cases, we provide a copy of the court order to FTS and they indemnify us against any shortfall in funding and we don’t pay FTS until we have been reimbursed by the LAA.

The presentation on Wednesday was extremely well received and the subject matter of much discussion in the advocates room at Court

I have been very impressed with your fast turn around and also the clarity of your reports.
