How DPH Legal Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 98%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of DPH Legal on ReviewSolicitors.

As part of our review questionnaire we ask reviewer questions about the value for money they felt they received by using DPH Legal. These questions include:

  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

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

Ticked every box in what was an urgent matter to resolve. I felt fully supported by DPH Legal's team - they were knowledgeable and very responsive even though it was in the evening.
I would recommend - especially as DPH Legal gave me advice that made me question simply signing the MSA. They were always fair and supported my wishes.

Very thorough and professional service. John is empathetic as well as intellegent. The service earned me an additional 15k on my severance package, and I would use them again as well as recommend them.

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!!
