Severance Agreement Review

It was easy to set up an account, which enabled the download of various documents and allowed me to provide instructions. Following this a meeting on the internet was quickly arranged, where my case was reviewed and various actions agreed. The solicitor contacted my employer and successfully argued the case for me to receive a better settlement.

Good, professional advice

I engaged Crane and Staples to assist me in dealing with a rogue builder who was doing a large project at my home in 2022 and had invoiced me for works not performed. I had refused to pay his final invoice as the amounts were spurious after which the builder in question became quite unpleasant, referring the invoice to a debt collector, resulting in a court letter. Michael and his team were a pleasure to deal with, dealing very effectively with the debt collector and their legal team, offering pragmatic and practical advice which resulted in a satisfactory outcome for me and avoided the necessity of going to court. I would not hesitate to use Crane & Staples again.
