Honesty, Empathy and Care.

I had recently been made redundant and had a dispute with the company over some of the financials, contradicting their own policies. I spoke to Jess on the phone who was knowledgeable, kind and reassuring. I sent over all details of the case, including the company policies. Jess read through it all and provided me with a summary of her thoughts. Luckily, my company managed to find its heart and we settled things internally. I wanted to say a big thank you to Jess, for the work she did leading up to its conclusion. It gave me the confidence and reassurance that I needed in what is an extremely unprecedented situation for anyone. I would absolutely recommended to anyone looking for help with an employment dispute.

Thank you David for sharing your experience. We are so pleased to hear that Jessica was able to provide the knowledgeable, kind, and reassuring support you needed during such a challenging time. At our firm, we believe that true value comes from providing clarity and a "summary of thoughts" that helps our clients navigate complex company policies with confidence. It is wonderful news that your situation reached a positive settlement. We appreciate your kind words and wish you the very best in your next chapter.

My Experience

Emma is not only an excellent solicitor, giving you the facts and opinion to help you with your decision making. Emma's approach means she stands out by miles. Empathetic, considerate, highly aware of her client's struggles with any given situation, she is not just a solicitor, but that vital wellbeing support who always considers your emotional health, not just your case. I cannot recommend Emma enough and it is no surprise she works for Sydney Mitchell, themselves highly credible and long standing. Jessica Ball who works with Emma and filled in for Emma, was a real source of support and information for me in Emma's absence. They communicate well with each other, making it so much easier for the client. I am so grateful to have worked with both of them. Thank you Emma and Jess.

We feel very indebted to Mr. Jamie Langley. He is a very experienced and professional Solicitor, as one would expect in a well established and recognised firm.. However, Jamie's, genuine friendliness, ,understanding and caring approach, really made us feel at ease and cared for throughout this whole process. Far beyond our expectations He has made himself available to us at all times of the day addressing concerns issues and giving advise We, wish to thank him not only for the quick and successful outcome of our case, but ,for all the mentioned above. We cannot recommend or thank him enough..

We got the results we wanted!

André has worked with us for years – from my spouse visa, ILR all the way to my British citizenship, André has made the process easy and smooth for us. The peace of mind we had knowing that everything is considered and taken care of was priceless.

Megan Heger Solicitor

Megan is an excellent solicitor she was so very helpful sorting the probate after my late Mothers sad death last year. I found Megan to be very approachable and friendly whilst also being very professional. I cannot thank Megan Heger and all the team at Sydney Mitchell in Sheldon. I would highly recommend Sydney Mitchell LLP in Sheldon. My family has always used Sydney Mitchell LLP for conveyancing when we've moved house. Megan and the whole team were truly wonderful during what was such a difficult point in my life.

Child Arrangements Order

Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience with my previous solicitor, but Claire has been exceptional, from the start to the end. She has a vast amount of knowledge and puts your interest first. I will be recommending Claire to friends who are looking for family legal advice. Exceptional service to say the least.
