I’ve been dealing with a very stressful and complicated situation with my car and Antonia has been incredibly helpful today. She has been completely transparent, honest and incredibly knowledgeable. She has taken the time to understand the situation, clearly explain my options and give me practical guidance on the next steps, without making me feel pressured or trying to sell me anything. Antonia has been so generous with her time and advice and when you’re already dealing with a stressful and expensive situation, having someone who is genuinely willing to help and give straightforward, impartial advice makes such a difference. Thank you so much, Antonia, for all your help and support so far. It has made a difficult situation feel much more manageable. I would absolutely recommend Stormcatcher Law to anyone who needs honest, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful advice.

If your vehicle is not as described or not fit for purpose then I highly recommend you contact Stormcatcher Law. Fees are transparent from the outset (not high) and the service is professional. The initial video call with Philip for a fixed fee was worth its weight in gold to us. For some people I can see that this is all they need. The no-win no-fee alternative company would have cost us thousands more in fees and they don’t have the motivation to get anything more than a basic settlement. Philip must be one of the most experienced people in the field of automotive consumer law. If he thinks you have a case, he uses his clearly extensive knowledge to produce an argument that a dealer will ultimately find impossible to ignore. In our case (against a large motorhome dealer in Newark), Philip wrote numerous letters to the dealer detailing the legal precedents supporting the rejection of our motorhome. We bought our motorhome new in 2025 and the engine failed (oil pump failure) at more than the 6 month window meaning the burden of proof that the fault was existing at time of sale lay with us. As Fiat had agreed the fault was covered by the warranty AND that the repair had not been carried out in ‘a timely manner and without significant inconvenience’ Philip was able to construct a solid legal argument as to why we were entitled to reject the motorhome under the consumer rights act and receive a refund. The motorhome dealer refused to accept our legal grounds for rejection for a number of months but Philip pursued them confidently and consistently ultimately winning for us without the need to actually go before a judge. Even when the initial offer came in, Philip was confident we could achieve more for pecuniary losses and compensation - He doesn’t give up easily. However he respected and supported our decision to take the money and run! Philip was clear to us at the outset that he cannot represent clients in court but I get the impression most of his cases are resolved outside of court. We initially thought our only hope was the Motor Industry Ombudsman but now think they gave us lazy advice and this process would likely take months/years longer to resolve. The legal cover with our motorhome insurance policy couldn’t work out if we had a case or not! This situation had been incredibly stressful for us and had gone on for months before Philip quite literally took the load off us - we cannot thank Philip and Antonia enough. Prior to us engaging Stormcatcher, there was no hope of achieving any resolution. In desperation we had even written a begging letter to ask the dealer to make us an offer to take the broken motorhome off our hands but they declined. Of course the sum we ultimately got was far in excess of what we would have accepted at that point had it been offered. At point of settlement we were towards one year after breakdown and the vehicle is still not repaired due to lack of parts. Our vehicle was based on a Fiat Ducato. It is difficult to convey the gratitude we feel towards Stormcatcher Law. They genuinely seemed to care and wanted us to win. They are absolutely not a faceless legal firm.

After watching some of Phil's videos on youtube I started the frustrating and downright pisstake that is trying to get a finance unwound on a faulty car. Whilst I have not yet solved this issue, the advice given in the videos was very helpful in getting the process started. I then called in to stormcatcher to get some further advice as I had hit a brick wall with the finance company. Phil took time out to speak with me personally and was very sympathetic, assuring and gave very helpful succinct advice for going forward. Such a kind hearted person. Its not often you find a company with such kind and helpful staff that actually know what they're talking about too! If you need help with car finance issues don't hesitate to contact them. Thanks again Phil, what a godsend.

I had to call for some advice regarding the Consumer Rights Act, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I had the pleasure of speaking with Antonia, who was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. As a new mum with a serious case of “baby brain,” I wasn’t explaining everything as clearly as I would have liked, but she never made me feel rushed or silly. She took the time to listen, understood my situation completely, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. It’s rare to come across someone who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate. Antonia was an absolute credit to the firm, and her warmth made what was a stressful situation so much easier to navigate. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional legal advice with a truly human touch. Thank you again, Antonia!

Antonia and Philip were amazing in helping me deal with my legal issues. I came to them with quite a complex situation regarding Car Finance and my Consumer rights and dealing with my insurance company. They went above and beyond to help me and Philip took the time to explain to me what was happening and why, explaining the process and making sure I understood what needed to be done. I feel like they took the time to understand me and my situation and genuinely wanted to help. My experience was filled with humility, understanding and every thing I was told would be done, was done in a timely manner, I was kept updated throughout the process. I could not recommend Stormcatcher enough!

My son and I are having a nightmare with a second hand dealer in the Uxbridge area. After less than a month and following an inspection it turns out that the Audi A3 we brought need either an engine rebuild or a new engine. We decided to reject the car only to be told that the dealer was not going to accept our rejection for various reasons not least because they believe we tampered with the engine! Apparently Service is tampering as is having the car inspected to work out why it burning oil at a rate of knots! Spoke to Antonia who was very reassuring and offered advice without any hard sell. Hoping the dealer will see sense before we have to go via small claims

The team at Stormcatcher were so helpful and knowledgeable - I’m not a car expert but they are and their advice and support helped to understand and sort out the situation I was in. The amount of work they did pre-contract was exceptional and in the end it their advice helped me to work out the issue without having extra legal costs. I would highly recommend for automotive and warranty issues.

We owe thanks to Phil and Antonia. We got sensible advice, Stormcatcher tackled the whole process in a measured, diligent way, we did a short paid session to set out where we stood with the company that refused to refund us before engaging Stormcatcher to represent us. We had already tried to press them under the consumer rights act but Phil was able to take a solicitors point of view and tackled the companies claims about how they operated from a different and better angle. Even after we were promised a refund, the company refused to pay and went dark so Phil kept upping the pressure until we got a refund. In our case we bought a 2016 VW camper that we returned one day after purchase because of multiple faults both in the camper and the van side, not to mention an MOT discrepancy we had missed. The company, based in Cannock, did their best to not refund us despite our rights being absolutely clear. We learned that companies will try and obfuscate and deny and getting professional help can be absolutely essential. They used phrases like ‘does not meet the threshold’ (there is no such thing!) and we felt we would likely end up spending £10k in legal fees to do it ourselves through the courts. As it was Phil had manoeuvred us to a position where we were one day from filing a winding up order on them for breach of contract! We looked at a variety of services that offered a similar service but two things sold us. I saw a video of Phil on the Stormcatcher YouTube channel talking about consumer rights and then spoke to Antonia by phone.
