Help in time of extreme distress

I contacted David Thomas today in desperation as a dispute I am currently having with a building contractor has escalated to an extremely distressing state and I am in urgent need of legal support.

David listened to everything I told him and offered sound advice. Even though my situation falls outside his area of work, he was more than happy to recommend another local law firm to me. I am extremely grateful for his kindness and professionalism at an agonising moment.

Thank you David for your help.

Highly recommend

Janine and the team help me through a rather stressful and complicated settlement agreement with a previous employer. Janine took the time to explain and talk me through every step whilst offering the up most professional advice. I couldn’t have done it without her.

Excellent service

David and team provided a wonderful service and advice during a very stressful time. Excellent communication and care to myself and my situation and making sure that I had every advantage possible to get the best outcome. I don’t think I would have gotten through this time without such excellent care from David.

Highly Recommend – Professional and Timely Legal Support

I recently used Quay Legal for support with a settlement agreement and was very impressed with the service provided. My solicitor was highly professional, provided clear and practical advice, and handled everything efficiently within a tight timeframe. Communication was prompt and reassuring throughout the process. I would highly recommend Quay Legal to anyone seeking reliable and expert legal support.

Great experience

I unexpectedly needed some legal advice and support for a matter related to my employment. After ringing around a few solicitors and being advised they probably couldn't help, I had Quay Legal recommended. When I called I got a great response with useful advice from the outset. My solicitor was very supportive and patient, I felt they went above and beyond what I expected and made the whole situation much easier to manage and navigate. I got a positive outcome from the situation and I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again should I need to.

Outstanding Service

I was recommended Quay Legal by another solicitor. From my initial contact with David he was patient and keen to help.

He clearly set out the legal position and the options available. Throughout the process he was professional but also supportive and kind. He provided a first class service and I would definitely recommend him.

A client

I had an extremely turbulent, emotional, and stressful time with my previous employer. This led to a settlement agreement, which led me to use the services of Quay Legal.

David Thomas was the solicitor I used. His service was exceptional, thorough and he handled my case with sensitivity. He was able to give me factual information and advice, leaving me to make my own considered decisions.

I have had an long impeccable career history, and never imagined to be in a position where I would need an employment lawyer. David’s professionalism, coupled with sensitivity and much needed humour was exemplary.
