Emily, just a BIG thank you!

"I was introduced to Emily through a mutual work contact. From the outset, I found Emily to be very approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable. She consistently kept me informed about the progress of my case. Emily was always available, and if she couldn't take my call at any given time, she promptly followed up with clear communication, effectively managing my expectations. I would highly recommend Emily and the team at Couchman Hanson Solicitors to anyone seeking a swift and positive response."

I can highly recommend the services of Emily Yeardley assisted by Amy Sullivan. They were both very professional, discrete and understanding on a matter that was sensitive to me and my family.
Emily was always friendly and sensible in her advice and I felt truly looked after and in safe hands.
Thank you Couchman Hanson Solicitors, Emily Yeardley and team for all you have done for me. With very best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2024!

Absolutely first class service in dealing with an issue I had. Everything was explained in layman's terms and I never once didn't know what was happening. Can't recommend Amy and Emily enough!

SO helpful!

Both Amy and Emily Yeardley (the solicitor who dealt with my case) were extremely helpful and professional throughout.
Any questions were rapidly and thoroughly answered, with the explanation delivered in terms I could understand.
Other solicitors could learn a lot from their efficiency and effectiveness.

Settlement Agreement Review

4

Easy to work with, explained things clearly and gave pragmatic advice, clearly had good knowledge with regards to the topic area (Settlement agreements) and achieved everything that I wanted. It wasn't a complex case so can't comment on their knowledge of any more in-depth legal complexities.

I've not had to deal directly with solicitors before and found the communication to be very clear and timely.

Employment Law Support

5

I referred to Couchman and Handson to receive assistance on a very pressing and delicate situation with my ex-employer. I was very stressed, intimidated by the circumstances I was living, and I had very little knowledge of the employment law in this Country and on my rights. Since the beginning Daniel and Emily showed understanding, care and empathy and they patiently allowed me the time I needed to express the complexity of my case and to understand how I wanted to solve it. All along my engagement with them, they were very clear in explaining the feasible and pragmatic options I had, always with transparency on costs, time, risks and opportunities. They assisted me all along in my legal journey with efficiency, extreme professionalism, clarity and punctuality. They have been extremely approachable, flexible and available to maintain constant communications with me. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to receive first class legal service united to humanity and understanding.

I have worked with Head of Employment Law Emily Yeardley on domestic and international challenges, and her advice, approach, and tenacity are first class. Having spent my career advising multi-nationals for more than 25 years, I recommend Emily unreservedly as one of the most consummate and trustworthy professionals I’ve had the pleasure to encounter.

Recently I had to seek legal advice for the first time, but I had no idea who to ask. Couchman Hanson Solicitors were local to me so I tried them, safe to say that was a good choice. They instantly took a great weight off my shoulders. They then dealt with the job very quickly giving constant updates and support. If I ever need legal advice or help again, I will be calling these guys. I highly recommend them.
