Settlement Agreement
David provided excellent and timely advice throughout the process and helped negotiate a significantly larger financial settlement than I had originally been offered by my employer.
Communications from David and his secretary Karen were always clear and prompt.
I would highly recommend them.

Worth every penny
Recommended by a friend for legal representation regarding a settlement agreement. Mr Coward represented me and I have to say he was brilliant, he fought for every penny I received and he managed to get more than double what was originally offered. The communication from Mr Coward and his assistant Mrs Norrie was fantastic at no stage did I feel out of the loop. Should you need employment law advise look no further.
