A job well done!

Ms Karthiga Sangaralingam acted for me in a recent sale of my property. She has shown professionalism and efficiency from start to finish. The whole process was a smooth one because of the great efforts put in by her and her colleagues. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in the area who has similar work to be done. If I have any future work of the same nature I would definitely come back to her. Thank you Karthiga!

Andrew and his team are true professionals. Although there were a few issues with my paperwork, they focused on finding solutions and helping me through the process. At no point did I feel rushed or pressured into making decisions. Their professionalism, patience and customer-focused approach really stood out. I would definitely recommend their services.

Disappointing - would not recommend

At my first meeting over the phone, I felt Laura really heard and understood what I was facing and what I needed from her. However, she lacked energy and dynamism when dealing with my case. She lacked the fight & commitment I needed when dealing with the big bully tactics of my organisation. She delivered the basics of having a settlement signed and she did deliver negotiating a contribution to the legal fees from the organisation, but overall I felt the service was overpriced. I really needed a professional who would lift the fight from my shoulders (after a long, incredibly stressful time with my employers and very poor representation from my union) and take it on fully but she needed me to push her on at times. I tried to communicate this with her several times but she either didn't understand (strange in an employment solicitor) or didn't care enough. Communication wasn't great - an important email wasn't read correctly and everything took too long. At times I felt undermined by her - for example I knew the organisation's request to meet with me re payslips was not a genuine attempt to move things on and I, very understandably, did not want to see them again. Laura advised me to go ahead with it, despite my reluctance, which I did and I was right - it was pointless and painful. I was left at the end to chase up the payslips and the settlement payment which was stressful - given how much I had paid Laura I would have expected her to achieve receipt of payslips and to check in with the employers to confirm payment was being made on time as routine and before signing off. I feel Laura is pleasant and will deliver the basics. But in my case she lacked the understanding of how being victimised by your bosses leaves people traumatised and exhausted and how she needs to take on the fight with determination to get the very best for her client. My employers would have sensed quickly that this legal rep was not very strong and therefore I would have received a lower settlement as a result. I couldn't face finding another solicitor at this stage. For these reasons, I would not recommend Laura if clients have been victimised/have vindictive employers to deal with.
