Florence Goodwin

Tagged solicitor Florence Goodwin

I first used the services of SME, over 30 years ago, after the death of my husband. I used them for legal apects around my employment and redundancy. I have since used them three times for the sale/purchase of my house on a private basis and for three properties under my company of Lyons Group Ltd, jointly with my son. He too has since used them twice for sale/purchase of his private properties. On all occasions we have been very happy wioth the services and advice we have received.

Having used MLP Law for various issues, I engaged them again to deal with my Redundancy Settlement. As expected, their service, professionalism and attention to detail was impeccable and was delivered in a personal manner. A successful conclusion was reached swiftly. Highly recommended!

Jason Pradhan

Tagged solicitor Jason Pradhan

Jason provided excellent support during a very stressful employment matter. His advice was clear, practical and strategic, and his guidance on the legal position and negotiation approach was instrumental in helping me achieve the outcome I did. He quickly helped me understand the options open to me, explained the risks in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me approach the process with much more confidence. I really appreciated not only his technical knowledge, but also his calm, thoughtful and human approach throughout. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone dealing with an employment dispute, especially if they need clear advice, strong strategy and practical judgement.
