Excellent Service

I was recommended to DPH by a colleague when going through redundancy in late 2024. My case was handled by John McConkey and the service he provided was excellent. He was able to ascertain several legal issues and problems with the way my redundancy had been handled by the company I worked for. John was able to get me a much-improved offer and terms as part of my leaving package. I would highly recommend John and DPH to anyone going through redundancy or facing any other employment law issues.

“I highly recommend John McConkey DPH Legal for anyone needing legal support with employment matters. He helped me resolve my employment termination amicably and professionally. From the very beginning, John showed deep knowledge, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for me. The entire team was involved in my case, and the price was incredibly reasonable given the level of support I received. I am so grateful to have been in His hands because, without his help, I don’t know if I would have managed to get through the whole process. John is not only a remarkable lawyer but also an amazing person. I would recommend him and his team DPH Legal 100%!”

John, from the DPH Legal in Reading, provided clear and honest advice about DPH’s terms of service and how the billing works. He was then quick and efficient with reviewing the relevant information pertaining to my case regarding my RSUs and Employment contracts. John was excellent in providing a very well-structured opinion of my situation and how I should proceed. He even identified items I hadn't even considered, to which I am truly grateful. Overall, I now feel confident and relaxed as to what I need to do next and will continue to instruct DPH in any further matters.

Excellent Legal Advice First class advice from a first class law firm. I cannot recommend them highly enough after my recent experience concluding with a signed document today. The agreement I was offered by my employer was in a poor state and John from DPH Legal negotiated favourable terms with a very quick turnaround. He was calm throughout the process and explained things in an easy to understand manner. If you have an issue with your employer or ex employer and you require advice on next steps get in touch with this firm who will help you navigate the tricky area of employment law disputes. Five stars !

I had the pleasure of engaging with John at DPH recently to close out a severance agreement. John is incredibly knowledgeable, very experienced and whilst being totally professional is able to think on a personal scale which is, in my opinion, essential when dealign with topics like this. Not that I want to have to need John's services ever again, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to get in contact.
