Rachel instantly engaged with me and gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision.

Being made redundant was such a shock and Rachel guided me through a tough journey, making an awful situation easier than it could otherwise have been.

Amazing advice & work from Rachel Evans

This review is for a different branch.

I cannot express enough how happy I was with the service Rachel Evans provided. Rachel was the first lawyer I spoke to about my case & after speaking to 5 more from other firms I knew she was the right person to go with. She immediately came across like she cared, & took the time to listen to all the details about my situation. She put me at ease & I immediately felt like she had everything under control elevating the stress I was experiencing & giving me the confidence to believe in what I was entitled to. She is a great negotiator & delivers her points clearly & effectively. Would absolutely recommend her & use her services again. Thank you so much Rachel

DPH legal have done superb job handling a very complex case against the powerful employer from F1 Motorsports. John was super professional, his guidance and advice was exceptional, he is a true specialist in employment law. I'm very happy with the outcome, communication throughout the process and how the case was handled. If you are looking for employment specialists look no further! I would give 6 start but google is only allowing to give 5. Big thanks too all at DPH Legal for saving my career!

Contacted DPH after I was made redundant. They exceeded my expectations, acted professionally and, moreover, charged me a fair price for a complicated service.

Hopefully I won’t have to use them again, but I’d wholeheartedly recommend DPH.

Thanks guys!!
