Amazing support and service

Marie was brilliant when dealing with my legal matter, she turned things around quickly and supported me throughout the process. She also negotiated directly with the other party which removed a lot of the stress out of the situation, I would definitely recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.

Experienced, compassionate, Honest

Marie Colquhoun handled a tricky case under challenging circumstances to secure us a positive outcome, which we were absolutely thrilled with. She balanced her wealth of knowledge, with equal parts compassion, realism and straight talking which made us feel in ‘good hands’. We were incredibly lucky to have had her as our lawyer. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a seasoned and steadfast hand.

1st class service from Marie

I researched carefully local solicitors who could deal with a work related issue for me. I chose Marie at Goodharts, primarily because of previous reviews I had read, and she was based in Newcastle (imortant to support local businesses). I have worked with solicitors for over 40 years and Marie is by far the most efficient solicitor I have dealt with. Marie is professional, has a straightforward approach, is quick to respond and gets the job done very effectively. I have no hesitation in recommending Marie 100%.

Her legal knowledge is outstanding and her drafting concise. Anne’s work is exceptional and I would recommend her to all who require her assistance. I am thankful for the help that Anne provided and grateful that she managed to have my employment issue resolved. Thank you Anne

Amazing professional service

I contacted Goodharts to help me to resolve an employment issue requiring a settlement agreement. I was immediately put through directly to speak to Marie Colquhoun. I can honestly say she immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable to discuss my case with her. He knowledge and professionalism, combined with her caring approach, has helped me to deal with the most traumatic experience I have ever encountered, and resolve the issue is a very swift timescale.
Marie is so knowledgeable in employment law and gave me a full breakdown of my case, and the directions we could go. She supported me with my decisions and acted quickly and personally to every question I had. I can honestly say that without Marie's expert advice and support I would not have resolved my issue.
I would definitely recommend Goodharts and will be for ever grateful to Marie in helping me to conclude my issue.
If you are looking for support with any employment law issue I would rate Goodharts as a 5 star service that goes above and beyond to offer honest and in depth advice with a very personal touch.

They put your faith back in the law …

I am still undergoing issues but after 10 months I have everyone in my close circle asking me how I got through hard times & am still finding the strength to get through what I did… the answer is MARIE! She is the most kind & knowledgeable solicitor there is & will get back to you in a heartbeat no matter the situation. She really has it all. Her extensive, In depth knowledge & patience has got me through what has been the most testing time in my career & personal life. When looking for a solicitor I had no idea where to turn but when marie got back to me herself on a weekend it was a no brainer. Her knowledge of the law & the way she carries herself has not only made me feel confident enough to take my case thus far but also has close friends and family ask me who looked after me during the tough times. If you’re looking for a solicitor that is honest, supportive & knows the ins and outs of the law then Marie is the one for you.

Firstly, I called a few different solicitors after having some pretty stressful issues with my employer. The majority got back to me, however their paralegals were simply emailing me asking for a time/date appointment with the actual solicitor. Not Marie, she called me herself and took 30 minutes to understand my situation before moving forward.

During the process, she kept me informed and formed some very clear arguments aimed at my ex-employer (at the time!). There was above and beyond care and attention put into the documents she was drafting on my behalf, giving me options and allowing for my wants, regardless of whether they were constructive, in hindsight… it was comforting to be listened to.

Without her support I doubt the outcome that was achieved would have came to fruition, she fought my corner and really isnt scared of a legal-fight!

I’m glad I decided to call Goodharts that day and will pay for her services in a heart beat again should I need to.

I worked with Marie on the recommendation of a friend, whom she had also helped. She gave great counsel and the outcome of her efforts was much better than I could have hoped for. I won't hesitate to work with her again.

I found myself very suddenly and very unexpectedly in an extremely distressing and unpleasant situation with my employer. I really didn’t know where to turn. Luckily for me, I called Marie Colquhoun at Goodharts. She listened to my issues and despite my extremely distressed state she was a voice of calm, reassurance and clarity when I needed it most. Marie is as tenacious as she is professional. She guided me through the issues and fought my corner at a time when I wasn’t strong enough to. She knows the law inside out and won’t be intimidated or dismissed. Marie negotiated on my behalf and settled the case very quickly without the need to go to tribunal. She is a consummate professional and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone who is having employment law issues. Thanks to Marie both I and my family can now get on with the rest of our lives.
