Good

This review is for a different branch.

This company handled my employment claim. They were good, the only thing I will say is that they could have pushed for more money than I got, they left a gap of about 2 weeks where they didn't do anything, that is the time I think they could have pushed for more but they left it until he day before the deadline. Dissapointed at this outcome.

I urgently contacted John he understood the case and asked for all documentation to review. He gave a quote and worked skilfully on getting the desired results. I’m very pleased and this was all cleared up under 2 weeks. John was patient and thoughtful throughout. Thank you for your help.

Do not recommend DPH Legal at all

This review is for a different branch.

Do not recommend DPH Legal at all
They have made 3 serious mistakes during the settlement agreement negotiations, which they admitted later, resulting the employer recalled the agreement.
They wanted to get paid anyway, and threatened me with court order if I do not pay.
Very unprofessional behavior.
You are better with a google search and ACAS.
Advice: Check the legal ombudsman cases against the legal firm before you choose one.

A representative from DPH Legal responded to this review on 14 December, 2023:

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, although we note that it does not reflect the true nature of what transpired. After you were made aware of our fee structure, you indicated your intention to proceed, and the work was completed for you at the stipulated rate. Although you may not have agreed with the professional advice you received, you still benefitted from the legal opinion and expertise of your solicitor who presented you with a realistic assessment of the available options as they were.

The service I received was simply unique. Unlike other firms that prioritise payment before engaging and make you feel like a cash transaction, John McConkey from DPH displayed genuine care and compassion for my case. He went above and beyond, showing a proactive and empathetic approach. Even after my case was settled, John was willing to wait for his fee until I received payment from my employer. This level of service has truly restored my faith in lawyers. I wholeheartedly recommend them – there's no need to look further!

I received an excellent service from Jennifer Al-Janabi from the DPH Legal Manchester office. Jennifer supported me with formal employment law advice and was knowledgable, responsive, efficient and supportive. The final fee was slightly under the figure quoted.
