I realise this is probably a sticky subject but I have my valid reasons to pursue a claim.

Has anyone any experience of any companies with a good reputation please

Check whether you have legal expenses cover on your home insurance, or through a bank account, professional body or trade union.

In that case they should probably be your first port of call. They might not be prepared to take the action you'd prefer, but they might, and if they do it will be 100% free with no strings attached (and if they don't then maybe it's because your case isn't worth bringing (or maybe not - but it's worth considering)).

I'm using my house insurance legal cover - I originally started with a no win company but in the documents one of the questions was did I have legal cover on house / car insurance.

Does that mean they would take on the case then if they thought I had one? I assumed it was to cover someone else doing it 🤦. Obviously not

Oh now I understand what you're asking.

The normal way of doing it would be for you to simply ring up your insurer, tell them the situation, and then if they think it's covered they'll allocate a lawyer to deal with it. If you already have a preferred lawyer of your own then your insurers might pay your lawyers to fight the case for you instead but there might need to be some negotiations - it depends on the wording of your policy.
