Career summary
Bachelor of Laws with Honours from Liverpool University 1980, and College of Law 1981.
Qualified as a solicitor in 1983 having completed articles with John A Behn Twyford & Co of Liverpool.
After partnership with John A Behn Twyford & Co in Liverpool moved to Bond Pearce at Plymouth and Exeter to become partner and head of personal injury and medical negligence.
Set up own practice, Mark Thompson Law, in 2007, to specialise in those personal injury and accident cases requiring his experience.
I have trained, managed and supervised solicitors and have wide experience of personal injury trusts, accidents at work, industrial disease, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, cycling accidents, pedestrian accidents, product liability, and the full range of injuries caused.
I found Mark by searching on line as I needed to set up a Trust Account.
I made the initial enquiry on line and Mark telephoned me to discuss my options and how he could help me.
Everything was so easy. Everything was done on line via email the whole process of setting up the Trust document was so simple. I had several questions during the process and Mark answered every query I had within 24 hours.
I made an appointment with Barclays Bank (as one of the banks Mark suggested) and everything was so simple. Mark then informed the relevant benefit agencies on my behalf. He has also told me if I need his assistance with any future problems with the agencies that he will happily assist me. I cannot praise his service enough and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mark Thompson Law. He made a process which initially seemed complicated and stressful completely simple and worry free.
Hello Mark
I would like to look at options in a trust fund as I am on benefits.
My son would like to tranfers some money to me in a trust.
You have already filled a trust for my daughter personal injury claim.
Hence contacting you first.
I only write trusts for personal injury compensation only.
The benefit regulations state that personal injury compensation held in trust will be ignored. It is not the trust alone which protects what is held in the trust, it is the fact that personal injury compensation is held in the trust which matters.
I cannot thank Mark enough for helping me set up a personal injury trust. Mark made the whole process very stress free and easy to complete. He provided us with all the information without any pressure and then assisted me step by step throughout the process. As recommended by Mark we went with Barclays Bank which again was an easy process although it did take 3 weeks for the account to be opened after going into branch. The price was also the best I could find. I can not recommend Mark highly enough.
After losing faith with our previous solicitor, we asked Mark to help us set up a trust fund. Mark made it a pleasurable experience, he was extremely helpful and a very pleasant man to deal with. Would highly recommend using his services. He has restored our faith again. Thank you Mark, from Sharon and Nigel Holden
Researching to set up a PI Trust isn’t an enjoyable thing to do, the reason you need a trust is due to misfortune in one of its many guises and you are therefore most likely not at your best. I found Mark Thompson Law through an internet search and I can only say that I wish I had discovered them sooner. I’d spoken to a couple of other solicitors about setting up a trust and found they were relying on out of date information and charging a small fortune for the service of setting up a trust deed.
After speaking with Mark my concerns were allayed, he is very professional, approachable, clearly up to date on how trusts work and I found no question was too big or too small for him to answer, he really helped ease the process of setting up the trust deed and offered sound advice.
If the need arose I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone else. Thank you Mark, your help has been sincerely appreciated.
Excellent service. Significantly less expensive than my own solicitor.
A pleasure to deal with.
Thank you Mark
