Testimonials

I couldn't have asked for more support and advice over the last 12 months. Having taken my case to the employment tribunal, I then sought legal advice to represent me in court. What should have been a simple, speedy outcome turned into 12 long months due to the respondents delays. Maria and Gabrielle have kept me sane, offering advice and support all the way. I have nothing but thanks and gratitude for their tireless work and commitment on this matter. I would happily recommend them to others in my position.
