Joanne Davis

Tagged solicitor Joanne Davis

My employer put me in contact with B P Collins in April 2021 for a specific litigation, which lasted until early November. Although the whole experience and process for me was new and quite daunting, they were absolutely first class in approach and highly professional, and sensitive to my feelings as the case progressed. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Jo and the team.

Peter Kidd

Tagged solicitor Peter Kidd

I recently worked with Peter on an employment settlement, and his service was fantastic from start to finish. He was clear, supportive, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire process. Peter took the time to explain every step in a way that made me feel confident and reassured, and his attention to detail was second to none. What could have been a stressful experience became smooth and straightforward thanks to his expertise. I’m genuinely grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone needing employment law advice.

I cannot recommend Josh highly enough. He provided exceptional support, guidance, and professionalism throughout my employment matter and made what was a very stressful situation much easier to manage. Josh handled my case with great care and attention to detail, always communicating clearly and ensuring I fully understood every step of the process. His expertise and dedication were instrumental in successfully negotiating my settlement agreement and achieving a positive outcome.
