George Vickers

Tagged solicitor George Vickers

Having chosen to accept voluntary redundancy, the settlement agreement stated I needed to take legal advice. George was amazing and found a swathe of inaccuracies that I would never have spotted, the main one being that my settlement figure was below what I was entitled to. George made the document make sense and explained all the clauses and how they were there to protect me. My employer was expecting me to just sign the document but George made sure the document was accurate in all areas to protect my rights. Would highly recommend George who was so helpful and who ensured the document worked for me and I understood each section.

Anthony Arthur John Robinson

Tagged solicitor Anthony Arthur John Robinson

Anthony recently helped me with my redundancy settlement. After discussing my settlement with Anthony, we realised that the company were not paying me all that they should as I was on maternity leave and was entitled to my full maternity payments not just my notice period. Anthony broached the company on this and my settlement was adjusted and increased the include it. Very grateful for his help. Would highly recommend.
