I contacted Melanie as she was recommended by someone on my local Facebook page. Oh boy was I grateful.
My company was wanting to terminate my employment and they weren’t being particularly pleasant about it (when are they!)
I had a great twenty minute initial conversation with Melanie to explain what was happening. I said that I was happy to conduct the first negotiation in the offer and thereafter Melanie would take over.
Once a settlement had been agreed in principle, Melanie took over explaining to me what was also included in the settlement, including some items that only solicitor would understand, and pointed out some I should have read better in the first instance (when referring to my contract of employment, that was a lesson learnt, and could have been the hard way, had Melanie not stepped in and highlighted it to me).
I am very grateful for having Melanie on my side, she was super helpful, diligent and it seems very persuasive. Melanie explained all the details, gave me my options, made suggestions, stayed in contact with me right the way through, was there until the final minutes (the 11th hour!) she was a great “right hand lady”.
I left my company knowing that I had the best deal concluded and my head held high. I would highly recommend Melanie Best for any employment law requirements.
