The guide also quotes a client as saying "He went above and beyond the demands of his role. He was sensitive and empathetic when dealing with issues that I found difficult to discuss. Eddie is quite simply brilliant."

Eddie is also ranked as a leading individual in the Legal 500. The 2020 edition quotes a contact as saying: “Eddie Jones is a genuinely caring individual who is very efficient and knowledgeable in the machinery of the legal process. His attention to detail is outstanding, he is quick to respond and is punctual in everything from a phone call to paperwork and meetings. This man is a shining star for JMW and I can think of nothing worthy of criticism.'

Eddie has won many high-value and complex claims, including obtaining £26 million in 2019 for a child who suffered severe brain damage due to maternity failures. The same year Eddie secured £9.3 million in compensation for a man with permanent disabilities due to negligent cauda equina syndrome care. Clients frequently comment on his kind and compassionate nature and say he is a trusted source of support at one of the most challenging times of their life.
