Leading personal injury lawyers, Attwood Solicitors, have thrown off the often stuffy image portrayed by law firms by launching an iPhone App.

Stoke-on-Trent based Attwood Solicitors are among the first legal practices in the UK to launch the hi-tech service aimed at busy clients.

The clever App allows prospective clients to find out how to make a claim quickly and easily and the value of a potential claim.

Clients can upload images of injuries and other relevant material which can be easily downloaded into case files for use in court cases and legal correspondence.

The App has been developed by Leeds based Cefar, as part of a design and marketing strategy for Attwood Solicitors.

Principal Solicitor, Ashley Attwood, said: "Attwood Solicitors is about as far removed from the traditional image of a solicitors practice as you could possibly get.

"We pride ourselves in being open and approachable, so when Cefar suggested the APP we were immediately interested.

"As an added incentive the home page of the App is promoting our £200 referral fee.

"Where our satisfied customers make a recommendation to a friend, relative or colleague we will reward them for the referral in cases where the person they recommended goes on to use Attwood Solicitors to make a claim for an accident that wasn't their fault."
