Excellent suppy

Karen supported me through a difficult time with warmth and professionalism. She made the entire process as smooth as possible, responding quickly to communication and giving clear advice. I would highly recommend Karen should anyone I know find themselves in a similar situation.

Valuable help in navigating difficult life changing decision.

I would like to share my experience working with Karen as my solicitor: I recently faced a very difficult period in my life, having to step away from my job to prioritise my health. Karen was outstanding in guiding me through a complex employment situation. She provided proactive and clear legal advice, and stepped in to handle communications where necessary—allowing me to avoid painful conversations and focus on my wellbeing. Her confidence in handling the matter gave me the piece of mind I needed to resolve this as quickly as possible.

I contacted Karen Cole at RIAA Barker Gillette through a recommendation from a close family friend, regarding an employment dismissal dispute. From the start Karen was very upfront with her expectations and the associated costs that were to be expected with undertaking the dispute. She worked diligently and professionally, and within a week of contacting Karen, the dispute had been settled with my former employer, resulting in a very positive outcome. I was highly impressed with Karen's professionalism and knowledge with how to approach such a situation. Highly recommend working with RIAA to anyone.

Karen and later Patrick were an incredibly supportive team. I found them to be very patient, always willing to explain options, processes etc. The hearing week when stress levels were high for me, they took time to ensure I was support and all my needs met and questions answered. I hope to never go through this process again but if I have to I would go back to them again.
