First Class
Lisa has been invaluable throughout my tribunal campaign. She has been patient, kind and empathetic providing professional and responsive support with the warmest and personable manner. Lisa could read my anxieties and stress at key points and always helped me to ground myself to the process and to step away so she could manage things and take the weight from me. Going through employment tribunal is particularly difficult - I highly recommend Lisa as a first class litigant whom I shall be forever grateful to for getting me through.
