Success in Redundancy Settlement

I recently had the privilege of working with Blackadders on a challenging case regarding my redundancy dispute with my former employer, and I am compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience.

From the outset, the team at Blackadders demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that far exceeded my expectations. Their meticulous approach to understanding the intricacies of my case, coupled with their commitment to achieving a fair outcome, made a significant impact on the successful settlement we ultimately reached.

The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. Stephen, my primary point of contact, kept me informed at every stage, providing clear and concise updates, patiently addressing my concerns, and ensuring that I felt supported throughout this often stressful process. This transparent communication not only alleviated any anxiety I may have had but also showcased the firm's commitment to client satisfaction.

Furthermore, the legal acumen displayed by Stephen and the entire team was impressive. They navigated the complexities of employment law with precision to build a compelling case on my behalf. Their attention to detail and strategic approach were instrumental in achieving a favourable settlement.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Blackadders to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to their clients set them apart, making them an invaluable partner in navigating legal challenges. I am genuinely thankful for the positive resolution they secured in my redundancy case.

Thank you, Stephen, for your outstanding work and unwavering support.

We have had a great rapport with Claire McNaught since we started our PoAs and Wills journey. Claire has explained everything and guided us through the process, advising and guiding usas we went. She has taken the stress element out of the process for us.

Professional, Efficient and Caring with Employment Law Issue.

On recommendation from a friend I up took Blackadders Legal Service for my employment bullying and intimidation issues when my union representation failed to make any progress. Stephen Connelly has a sincere approach, listening thoroughly to all elements of my case whilst having a very caring and supportive manner. Feed back and up dates were regularly provided verbally and electronically when required. Honest outcome options were often liaised by Stephen when decisive stages presented. Stephen was happy to take forward my communication with my employer on my behalf to help ease this stressful episode for me. Payment options were progressive which suited all. I would thoroughly recommend Blackadders legal services and would use again without hesitation. Many Thanks again to you Stephen and your team.

We used Blackadders as our solicitor to purchase our first house.

Stefan was incredibly helpful and was able to answer all our questions and guide us throughout the whole process from start to finish.

Would highly recommend.

We've followed Karen Fulton through a number of firms, now with three purchases under Blackadders. Karen is incredibly attentive and hard working, we couldn't be any happier with the service received.

Blackadders, and in particular, Katharine Smith dealt with the conveyancing for both the sale, and purchase, of 2 of my properties. I found her to be professional and informative throughout the process which enabled a couple of complicated transactions to complete on the same day saving me thousands of pounds! I would highly recommend Katharine to anyone looking for a solicitor to look after their property needs.

I needed a lawyer because I wanted to put in an offer on a property. I really didn't expect much, I honesty didn't even think I would get past the offer stage but to my surprise my offer was accepted. Stefan Docherty basically held my hand from the note of interest to completion. He explained everything at every step, what to expect going forward, answered every one of my emails faster than I expected. I felt like his only client the whole way through. I never felt overwhelmed, or out of the loop. Thanks to Stefan what started out as a shot in the dark ended up being a dream come true.
