Helpful and very professional

From the moment I reached out they were helpful. English isn't my first language and isn't the best they took time explaining everything to me and communicating properly. We're always there if I had any inquiries or wanted Information. Very happy they took my case and won it. Daniel Whipp is amazing and wonderful to work with. I would recommend this to everyone. 10/10.

Amazing work


I am writing to provide a glowing reference for Abdul basith who recently represented me in an employment tribunal case with outstanding success.

Abdul basith demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire legal process. From our initial consultation to the final resolution of the case, he exhibited an impressive command of employment law and a strategic approach that ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome for me.

He displayed excellent communication skills, keeping me informed at every stage of the proceedings and promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had. His ability to explain complex legal concepts in a clear and understandable manner was invaluable and provided me with confidence and reassurance during what was undoubtedly a stressful time.

Furthermore, Abdul exhibited remarkable attention to detail in preparing the case, leaving no stone unturned in gathering evidence, conducting thorough research, and crafting persuasive arguments. His courtroom presence was equally impressive, demonstrating poise, confidence, and a keen understanding of the nuances of the law.

Not only did Abdul achieve a successful outcome in my case, but he also displayed genuine empathy and compassion for my situation, making me feel supported and empowered throughout the entire process.

In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of Abdul. and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation in employment-related matters. His professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible results make him an invaluable asset to any client.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or clarification regarding my experience with Abdul

Thank you once again for your outstanding representation.

Excellence of Service

We thought that the making of a Will would be a lot more difficult to sort out especially involving executors and power of attorneys, but Pattinson & Brewer eased us through it all with professionalism, timely paperwork, especially as one of our sons lives in France, and could not have looked after us better. I certainly would recommend them.
A big thank you to Katie Rowsby who has dealt with us mostly
