The service I received was simply unique. Unlike other firms that prioritise payment before engaging and make you feel like a cash transaction, John McConkey from DPH displayed genuine care and compassion for my case. He went above and beyond, showing a proactive and empathetic approach. Even after my case was settled, John was willing to wait for his fee until I received payment from my employer. This level of service has truly restored my faith in lawyers. I wholeheartedly recommend them – there's no need to look further!

My Experiences

In what was a difficult unsure period David Harris provided clear, concise and calmness that helped me to assess my situation and ultimately make the right decision. On this basis I would highly recommend DPH Legal and actually I have to friends and colleagues who have received the same level of support and professionalism as I did.

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!!

Excellent Legal Advice
First class advice from a first class law firm. I cannot recommend them highly enough after my recent experience concluding with a signed document today.

The agreement I was offered by my employer was in a poor state and John from DPH Legal negotiated favourable terms with a very quick turnaround. He was calm throughout the process and explained things in an easy to understand manner.

If you have an issue with your employer or ex employer and you require advice on next steps get in touch with this firm who will help you navigate the tricky area of employment law disputes.

Five stars !
