New kid on the block Weymouth practice

Lisa has helped me in the past with an employment matter She got me more or less a very good settlement and a clean bill of health which resulted in that I could move on with working life. Please make sure you visit Pharaoh Law newly refurbished offices in King Street as your first port of call for all your legal requirements. Lisa has taken a near derelict building and transformed it into a fabulous inviting, calm and relaxing environment to conduct her expansion into her 9th year of business.. Thank you Lisa, you are fab.

Highly recommend

I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. I was provided with amazing support and navigated through a complicated process, at very short notice. Lisa is polite, professional, and a very good listener. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely use Pharoah Law again.

Lisa provided incredible support through an employment matter. Her advice was clear and caveated across the various options I could take at any stage, so that I felt confident about each decision I made. Her guidance for writing various submissions to navigate the grievance process was worth every penny. Lisa was readily available even after hours, empathetic and assuring. She found cost effective ways forward and her billing was very reasonable indeed. I could not have managed this process without her and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing legal advice.

Amazing Experience

Lisa at Pharaoh is great. She helped me resolve an issue with my employer, which resulted in a settlement. My outcome would have been much worse without Lisa’s help. Couldn’t recommend more.

I was looking for a solicitor to help me with a property matter and had no idea which one to choose but upon actually speaking with Lisa at Pharaoh Law solicitors I found her to be very empathic and she made me feel at ease, my problem became her goal to get it sorted for me. She truly has a passion for her role which is why I chose to have her take on my case, she even worked on my case whilst she was on holiday because she too wanted the best outcome for me. If you are looking for a solicitor who actually enjoys their job and genuinely wants to help people then I can highly recommend Pharaoh Law Solicitors.
