Tim Grainger

Tagged solicitor Tim Grainger

Having to deal with the employment matter I had was very stressful and damaging to my mental and physical health. So I am happy to say I had a really smooth and supportive experience when put in touch with Fiona Bruce & Co LLP, specifically Tim Grainger and his Secretary Rachal Ward. A friend recommended me Tim's services after they had Tim support them with their own employment case. I asked for contact details and reached out. It wasn't long before Tim got back to me and we started chatting. He was really approachable, friendly and made me feel I could talk to him and discuss my matter without feeling against a countdown or timed meter; this was especially appreciated due to my neurodivergent traits. At the time, I wasn't in immediate need for Tim to take action, so the fact I could build a rapport, update him and ask for small bits of advice throughout my case was really assuring and reduced stress. When I did need Tim's services a few months later - he was honest, clear and timely to provide me good advice and use his legal knowledge to break down concerns and confusion I had while also fighting my corner to get me the best deal I could to my case. Long story short, Tim was able to help me alongside my union put my employer into checkmate and got me a good settlement where all the admin and documentation was easy to access and come in timely manner thanks to Rachel. I work in the video games space that sadly sees not the best treatment for workers, so I am happy to recommend services based on my experience :)

Elizabeth Barrett

Tagged solicitor Elizabeth Barrett

I have never had to request the services of a solicitor for an employment issue before, but having suddenly found myself embroiled in a dispute with my employer, a friend kindly recommended Downs Solicitors. As soon as I was introduced to Liz (Elizabeth Barrett), I immediately felt a sense of reassurance. Liz offers a caring, honest, friendly and approachable manner in equal measures to her professional knowledge, dedication to her work, and a purpose and passion to achieve the desired outcome for her clients. She is an asset to your firm.

I was recommended to Clarkes via a family member. I was not disappointed. Luke and Alicja were amazingly helpful and supportive. I can’t thank them enough for the superb advice and action on my behalf to swiftly put the matter firmly to bed. Thank you so much.

A difficult situation was handled with tact, professionalism, deep experience and expert knowledge culminating in a successful outcome. Once again I could not speak more highly of Arj and his team.
