Employment dispute

Lisa provided incredible support through an employment matter. Her advice was clear and caveated across the various options I could take at any stage, so that I felt confident about each decision I made. Her guidance for writing various submissions to navigate the grievance process was worth every penny. Lisa was readily available even after hours, empathetic and assuring. She found cost effective ways forward and her billing was very reasonable indeed. I could not have managed this process without her and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing legal advice.

Employment Law Advice

I received employment law advice from Lisa Pharaoh in October 2025. She responded promptly and provided exceptionally clear, concise, and professional guidance. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout, and her advice gave me confidence and clarity in my next steps. I highly recommend her, and by extension this company's, services.

If I could give above the five stars I would. A solid 10 from me. Lisa is like you and me, well me anyway. A real person who understands peoples problems without prejudice and judgement. If you have any work / employment related problems this is the girl to sort you out. Just be honest. For any others out there, and there are probably a few, just make sure you remunerate her and don't muck about for her invaluable and honest work.Shes earned it. You wont be disappointed. Wishing you all the best with all your new and exciting ventures Lisa. Upward and onward All the very best for the future. Mark.

Probate work

I was attempting to do Probate myself but got in to a bit of a mess and not sure what to do next. Bit of panic set in so sought advice from Pharaoh Law and was introduced to Rachel. A breath of fresh air she was to be. Calm and clear in her approach she took a huge weight of me. She clearly had a lot of experience in probates because it all seemed so much simpler when she explained what needed to be done. No surprise that in the end Probate was obtained without any fuss. Highly recommend Rachel and Pharaoh Law

If you're looking for a professional, approachable and friendly legal service then I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa at Pharaoh law. I was struggling to find a solicitor that would return my queries or give me a quote for some legal advice. I popped into Pharaoh law and after a short chat with Lisa to explain the circumstances, I had a quote I was more than happy with and an appointment to complete the paperwork. I found Lisa to be highly professional, friendly and prompt in her work. Within a single appointment Lisa had helped me to complete some paperwork that I'd been struggling to find a solicitor for over a month. Thank you for all your help.
