I called Burrows and was put in touch with Janice, who met me in person to review the agreement and offer advice. I was very satisfied with the service overall, and everything went through without a problem. I would highly recommend Janice if you are in a similar position.

Julie GrangerLeigh Anne Prebble-Benn

Tagged solicitors Julie Granger and Leigh Anne Prebble-Benn

Dear Julie, I was made redundant in July and was advised by my company to speak with a solicitor about my redundancy settlement. Not only was I upset and worried about the situation, but also very scared and nervous about contacting a solicitor as this was all new to me. I contacted Kingsfords and spoke firstly to Jacqueline Chappell, who was very helpful and gave clear instructions on what I needed to send to her. Jacqueline immediately made me feel much better and told me that it would be Leigh Prebble-Benn who I would have my telephone appointment with. When I first read through my settlement agreement I didn't really understand what it all meant and so when Leigh took the time to read through it line by line to explain things in simpler terms, it wasn't so overwhelming. Leigh also gave clear instructions on what I needed to do next and everything was all done quickly. It was also very lovely to know that I could contact Leigh if I had any other concerns. Their professionalism and kindness is outstanding and I wanted to thank them both as I am truly grateful. Best wishes and kind regards

Michael Scutt

Tagged solicitor Michael Scutt

Crane & Staples was recommended to me by a colleague, who was also being made redundant. From very first contact with them the process was efficient and timely and the whole process was wrapped up in less than a week, the only delay being caused by my ex-employers HR team availability.

Louise Elliott

Tagged solicitor Louise Elliott

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service I received from Louise Elliott during my employment dispute. From the very beginning, Louise demonstrated not only an in-depth understanding of employment law but also an unwavering commitment to fighting for my best interests. Throughout the process, which took longer than expected, Louise was a steady source of reassurance. She kept me well-informed every step of the way, explaining complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand and always ensuring that I was clear on my options. What truly set Louise apart, however, was the way she kept me grounded during a particularly stressful time. When things seemed like they were dragging on, Louise never lost focus, tirelessly advocating on my behalf and ensuring that my case received the attention it deserved. I always felt like my concerns were heard, and I never doubted that Louise was fully invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to Louise's perseverance, professionalism, and exceptional client care, I was able to navigate a difficult situation with confidence and peace of mind. I can't recommend her enough to anyone in need of a lawyer who will truly fight for you.
