Highly skilled and offers expert Employment Law legal advice

I had need of an employment solicitor at very short notice regarding an employment issue. The invaluable advice I received from Sally Eastwood helped me feel in control - I received a lot of confidence and support at an unexpected and difficult time. Sally negotiated a far better deal than was offered to me originally. I have no hesitation in recommending the employment law services that Farleys offer.

Very complex employment law issues

I was a trembling wreck when I first met Sally - I couldn’t string 4 words together without starting to cry. She managed me brilliantly. Her manner was perfect for me. She took control and showed me the steps we needed to follow. She broke it down into manageable segments - and I left her office feeling that a horrendous weight had been lifted

Efficient

The service was efficient. The solicitor acted professional and in time; also took initiative and, with my consent, dealt with the case without me having to interact with the other part. The outcome was the best option I could have get.

I approached his lawfirm as they dealt with abuse cases. I approached Farley, 5/6 years ago and still no decision. On my case I'm still waiting. I was promised a copy of my files so that I could go through them and still to this day I do not have my files. I've tried to make a formal complaint. Farley solicitors website does not have a complete section. When I called them to discuss. I was told I would need to speak to a lady called Debbie King about my complaint I'm still waiting to speak to this lady my experience of 5 to 6 years has not been pleasant. When you call to speak to the lawyer that's support. In your case they're never available. You have to book a telephone appointment weeks in a head to speak to the Lawyer . Avoid this law firm, as there are much better lawfirms out there with a heart and compassion to support you not from this law, firm, the money, greedy, hungry takers. Avoid at all costs.

Highly recommend

Both Farleys and Philip Taylor provided an excellent service. I am unlikely to need you in the future as I live overseas, however I would highly recommend you both. Highly responsive, pleasant way of communicating and pragmatic handling of probate and Estate issues.

Having found myself in need of legal advice at fairly short notice I really struck gold with Victoria Mitchell, head of employment law at Farleys. From the outset she was not only professional and reassuring, but also empathetic in guiding me through a process which was daunting to me whilst securing the best possible outcome in my interests. I can not recommend her highly enough. Thank you Victoria. Your help was invaluable.

Victoria was fantastic to work with during my redundancy process. She expertly reviewed my settlement agreement, clearly explained my rights, and negotiated effectively on my behalf. Her professionalism and knowledge gave me the confidence I needed during a stressful time. I highly recommend Victoria for anyone wanting peace of mind and a fair outcome during complex employment matters.

We often hear negative stories regarding solicitors in house moves so when asked for recommendations and Gavin was recommended by various friends we just had to go with him. He was a true professional from start to finish, he made our moving house journey so smooth and we are so grateful for him. He was an absolute gentleman, super contactable and efficient with all enquiries, updating us on every stage. As a novice, he helped coach us through the move and we would certainly recommend him to all! Thanks Gavin for being so fabulous. We will definitely be returning on our next move!
