A Testament to Compassion: Ella’s Journey with Elizabeth Smith and Wolferstans LLP
Throughout Ella’s entire life, Elizabeth Smith and the team at Wolferstans Solicitors have been there every step of the way, offering unwavering support and compassion that has made all the difference.
"My daughter received a brain injury from birth, something that has a major effect on her life and future," shares Ella's mother, reflecting on the challenges they faced together. "Ella has short-term memory loss and cannot be left alone. Liz and the team have been in Ella’s life since the age of 6 months. They have been fighting for her up until March 2023 when the case was concluded. They have been supportive and realistic all the way through."
From the very beginning, Elizabeth and our Medical Negligence team became vital allies in Ella's journey, offering not just legal expertise but a compassionate presence that extended far beyond the confines of their professional duties. "We would not be in the position we are today, and I thank them every day as they have helped with her future," Ella's mother expresses with heartfelt gratitude.
Recognising the intricate challenges of Ella's condition, Elizabeth and her team worked tirelessly to ensure that she received the holistic support she needed to thrive. "Ella has a carer who helps her live as independently as possible. Liz and her team set this up for us," recalls Ella's mother. "The carer helps with meltdowns from the confusion, and activities of daily living. This also helps me so I can go out to work to have respite from the home life."
Beyond practical support, Elizabeth acted as an advocate for Ella, navigating complex systems and advocating for her rights when others faltered. "Liz and the team helped get her statemented (an EHCP plan in place) and to a school which she thoroughly enjoys and feels supported. Without Liz’s support, Ella would have fallen through the net," shares Ella's mother, emphasising the profound impact of Elizabeth's advocacy on their lives.
Additionally, Elizabeth's compassionate approach extended to every member of Ella's family, acknowledging their unique struggles and offering support in times of need. "Liz has also dealt with Ella’s father who struggles to deal with the diagnosis in a gentle way. Acknowledging his views and concerns explaining the process," Ella's mother reflects on Elizabeth's empathetic approach.
As Ella's journey continues to unfold, her story stands as a testament to the transformative power of compassion and steadfast support. Through the unwavering dedication of Elizabeth Smith and Wolferstans, Ella's family found not just legal representation but a cherished sense of belonging—a testament to the firm's commitment to treating clients like family, not just case numbers.
"I highly recommend Liz and the team, thanking them so much for the last 15 years," concludes Ella's mother, echoing the sentiments of countless families whose lives have been forever changed by Elizabeth's compassion and dedication.
