A CLIENT FOCUSED AND ETHICAL FIRM

We dedicate ourselves to helping people who have suffered serious injuries to rebuild their lives. We deliver a high-quality service to ensure that each and every one of our deserving clients receives the very best advice and support. Our strong track record of success means that the vast majority of our work comes through client recommendations.

“Thank you so much again, you have changed my life”.

We understand that bringing a personal injury claim can feel daunting. That is why we provide clear, modern and cost-effective representation. Most cases are funded under a ‘no win no fee’ agreement.

We communicate promptly and plainly, using your preferred method — telephone, email, text, WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom — and we avoid unnecessary legal jargon.

Alma Law is based at Royal William Yard in Plymouth, a historic waterfront site built in 1825 as a Royal Naval victualling yard. From this South West location, we represent clients across the UK using secure, cloud-based systems.

We are equally happy to meet you at home, in hospital or at work — wherever is most convenient for you. From the outset, we provide a realistic assessment of your prospects of success, likely value, timescale and costs.

If you have suffered a serious injury, you should expect excellence. That is what we deliver.

“I have represented hundreds of injured people, service personnel, veterans and grieving families over more than twenty years as a solicitor. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve them.”

— Grant Evatt, Founder and Director



Enlisted

Before the law, Grant enlisted in the British Army straight from school aged just 16. After a compulsory 12-months of leadership training at the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Artillery he volunteered for Commando Forces.

At a fresh faced 18 years of age, Grant passed the All-Arms Commando Course at the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines and was posted to 8 (Alma) Commando Battery of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery in Plymouth where he became an Arctic and Jungle Warfare specialist; military skiing instructor; artillery surveyor; military parachutist; combat driver; combat medic; diver and Platoon Weapons Instructor.

Injury

A sports injury caused him to prematurely end a much-coveted military career and, after a year working as a Deep-Sea Diver on the multi-billion-dollar project to build the then new Hong Kong International Airport, Grant returned to the UK to embark on a less hazardous career in the law.  An LLB (Hons) degree in Business Law and Law College was to follow and Grant qualified as a fully-fledged Solicitor in November 2002. Grant has also served as a Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves, most notably in East Africa.

★★★★★

I first contacted Grant at Alma Law in 2023 after my Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) case was struck out. From the outset, Grant provided clear, expert advice, reassuring me that he could fix the AFCS error (he did) and that I should pursue a Civil (negligence) Claim simultaneously. Over the course of three years, and even after needing to promptly start court proceedings, Grant supported me through every step of a very challenging process. He was extraordinarily patient, always taking the time to answer my endless questions and ease my stress whenever the process felt overwhelming. Following medical discharge, my personal circumstances changed dramatically. Grant and the team at Alma Law showed deep understanding and genuine empathy, not just regarding the legalities of my case, but throughout my entire transition into civilian life. Grant worked tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome, resulting in a significant out of court settlement. I am incredibly grateful for his hard work, patience, and dedication over the years. I can't recommend Grant and Alma Law highly enough!
