Testimonials

I couldn't have asked for more support and advice over the last 12 mon
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.
I had occasion to call Woodfines after I received a settlement offer from my previous employer. I was put through to Mrs Maria Gallucci who was able to book me in for an appointment around 3 hrs after my initial call. She was pleasant and extremly professional in her presentation and her advice. I had the advice I needed and was able to sign and present the settlement documents that very day.I would have no hesitation in recommending Mrs Gallucci and Woodfines for legal work within the parameters of stated specialisation. Very happy indeed.
