Laura helped me settle my Employment Tribunal case by offering very sound advice which I took on. I was faced with legal threats as well as being offered a much lower sum settle than what I settled for in the end. I managed to settle for more than double of what was being offered originally when I sought advice from Laura after subtracting any legal costs from receiving advice. Overall, I am very happy to have put an end to a long drawn affair that took 3 years to settle which also caused a lot of stress in the process. Therefore, I would highly recommend Laura’s services which I would use again if needed.
