Employment advice regarding voluntary redundancy.

I dealt with John Webster at the firm and throughout he was professional and efficient. He explained the process and the documents involved very clearly and without any 'song and dance'. Overall a very easy and reassuring service. Thank you!

Will

Son in hospital, terminally ill. Realise he doesn't have a Will. Fieldings Porter sent a solicitor to his bedside within 24 hours. Will was drafted and finalised within the day, and my son's worries were put to rest before he died. Can't praise the service highly enough.

Drafting of Will

After Fieldings Porter dealt with my brother's Will in his last few weeks of his life, we (my mum and I) both were so impressed by the service that we both instructed you to act for us too in our own Will. Clear and understandable explanations provided throughout.

Advice on raising a grievance and settlement agreement negotiation

John Webster at Fieldings Porter is not only a very experienced employment lawyer, he a consumate professional with an engaging manner; a really strong ally in what was inevitably a difficult time for me. His advice was clear and well thought through and I truly benefited enormously from his experience of knowing which potential pitfalls to avoid while optimising my outcome and minimising my costs. I have enjoyed working with him enormously and don't hesitate to give him the highest of recommendations.

Ellie is in the process of representing my son who is Autistic and has some complex and difficult mental health issues.
She is handling the case with the sensitivity and understanding needed for both my son and our family, and we feel that we could not be in better hands.

She is proving to be capable and confident in the rights and entitlement's of her client and Works diligently and passionately, which is so important to us at this worrying time.

We would not hesitate to recommend Ellie, especially with cases that require careful attention.

Very good experience

I have used Fieldings Porter twice now. A house sale which was a very easy process, a new Will which was also very good. I had to have a home visit and this was no problem. All staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Thank you.

Delighted with the professionalism of Janet Porter, Lauren Armitage & Bonnie Corlett. They made the whole process run smoothly and communication was the key factor. Whenever we had a query we received a reply by return and queries were resolved speedily. We have managed to sell our property and move in a few months which is remarkable. We most definitely would recommend Fieldings Porter and specifically this team.
