"Jonathan Lloyd-Jones is praised by clients for his
"good style of connecting not only with solicitors but also
claimants. He reads people and situations well which often leads to
a settlement". Clients further say that "if a claim has not
resolved at the mediation, Jonathan will always go the extra mile
to see whether or not he can assist in resolving the claim
thereafter" (
