Employment advice

My case was fairly straight forward. I required legal advice to review documents relating to a Mutally Agreed Resignation Scheme (MARS) with my employer. It wasn't contentious but as part of the agreement I had to seek legal advice for which my employer would pay part of the costs.

Seeking advice reference an order for sale of investment properties.

Michelle Hayter was instructed regarding seeking an order for sale of two investment properties where the co owner had refused to provide agreement for the sales process to go ahead . A detailed and laser focused letter before action resulted in the co owner agreeing to the sale of both properties, thus avoiding litigation. The whole process with Michelle was smooth and efficient with excellent communication throughout with clear and practical legal advice on resolving the issues without resort to formal court action.

I asked for an estimate of fees before starting a simple legal process but the estimate was far short of my expectations. The process was not complicated and everything done via email. I found their fees to be excessive and errors were made in accounting. I would not recommend this firm

A representative from Frettens LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and provide your feedback. Whilst you feel the process was simple and uncomplicated, there were significant issues caused in primarily by lengthy delays in responses to enquiries. These were often made worse by the other sides lack of legal representation. You were provided with a full estimate of fees before any work started that you signed and were happy with. Your final bill fell within the bounds of this estimate despite the delays so we are unclear what is meant by this ‘falling short’. The error in accountancy you mention was a mix-up with your VAT liability due to your residential status, which was quickly and easily removed from your bill. Thank you again for taking the time to review your experience. We are sorry that you feel you could not recommend us, and would have welcomed you raising any of these issues with your solicitor at the point they arose.

Delighted with the excellent service. I was kept up to date throughout the transaction and Laura Mabin was always available to discuss any issues. I could not recommend Frettons more highly.
