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!

My Experiences

In what was a difficult unsure period David Harris provided clear, concise and calmness that helped me to assess my situation and ultimately make the right decision. On this basis I would highly recommend DPH Legal and actually I have to friends and colleagues who have received the same level of support and professionalism as I did.

Excellent Legal Advice
First class advice from a first class law firm. I cannot recommend them highly enough after my recent experience concluding with a signed document today.

The agreement I was offered by my employer was in a poor state and John from DPH Legal negotiated favourable terms with a very quick turnaround. He was calm throughout the process and explained things in an easy to understand manner.

If you have an issue with your employer or ex employer and you require advice on next steps get in touch with this firm who will help you navigate the tricky area of employment law disputes.

Five stars !

I had the privilege of working with Ms. Moallemi on my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Ms. Moallemi is an outstanding attorney who is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly dedicated and compassionate. She took the time to understand my situation and provided me with the best possible advice. Her attention to detail and ability to navigate the legal system was truly impressive. I highly recommend Ms. Moallemi to anyone in need of legal representation, she truly exceeded my expectations.
I would like to special thanks to Ms. Moallemi and DPH Legal for assisting and supporting me during the process.
All the best.

Top Tier Service, thank you

I was extremely stressed by being thrown into a process unexpectedly by my employer of twelve years. I had raised grievances in the past and it felt like this was their pay back forcing me into a performance process without the grounds to do so.

I contacted DPH initially for some free advice. Hey quickly turned into an expert counsellor for me during the process. They guided me on next steps before writing to my employer direct to object to the process I was being subjected to.

I instructed Farideh Moallemi who was compassionate and empathetic throughout. We ultimately resolved the matter amicably with a sizeable settlement being made and an agreed departure.

I would recommend anybody having difficulties with their employer contact DPH legal for advice on their situation. They are straight talking and will help you understand quickly whether you have a claim and what can be done next.”
