Daniel Woodman

Tagged solicitor Daniel Woodman

I had a meeting with Daniel regarding an employment issue. He was approachable and supportive throughout the process. I felt that he gave me clear, constructive advice about how to conclude an upsetting chapter at work. He allowed me to discuss my concerns and feelings; he listened well; and he made me feel that I could move forward with my life.

Vicky Beattie

Tagged solicitor Vicky Beattie

Working with Victoria was excellent. She got up to speed with my case very quickly and summarised the position clearly and concisely pointing out some contradictions and missing clauses from the initial draft agreement. Vicky not only provided good advice but was also prepared to listen to my suggestions and support these in the negotiations. Overall I'm really happy with the service and the outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vicky and BBS Law to friends and colleagues.

Sunny  Patel

Tagged solicitor Sunny Patel

I would highly recommend SP Solicitors, particularly Sunny, who represented me throughout a difficult and stressful employment dispute. His professionalism, knowledge and clear advice gave me confidence throughout the process. Sunny kept me informed as matters progressed, taking the time to explain his reasoning and the options available to me. He understood the personal impact of the situation as well as the legal issues involved, and ultimately helped me achieve a favourable outcome. I’m very grateful for his support and the service I received from SP Solicitors.
