Helped me navigate the complexities of my legal rights.

5

I can't thank Chris and Francesca enough for the incredible support and guidance they provided during what was an incredibly challenging time for me. I was made redundant while on maternity leave, and I felt lost and overwhelmed by the situation. From the start, Chris was proactive in helping me navigate the complexities of my legal rights.
They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and kept me informed every step of the way.
Thanks to their expertise, I felt confident to make informed decisions about my case. I am so grateful for their hard work and kindness, and I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing legal support, especially during difficult and personal situations.

Smooth and efficient service

5

I used Chris to review and advise on a settlement agreement from my employer as I did not want to use the one suggested by the company. I found Frettens easy to deal with from speaking to the people in the Ringwood branch to dealing with both Chris and Francesca.
The whole process was wrapped up in 3 working days.
Thank you

Chris and the team are first class in their service and made a recent settlement agreement process easy and seamless. Chris was friendly and a great communicator, taking the time to provide advice in a clear and concise way, even working on Christmas Eve to get the job done! I would recommend Frettens to anyone in need of a solicitor.

Chris Dobbs/Frettens - Well Done!

5

I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris Dobbs on my case, and I couldn't be more impressed with this professionalism and approach.

From the outset, Chris was incredibly prompt in responding to my queries and concerns. He was always available to discuss my case, his well-humored and approachable demeanor made it easy to navigate the process.

Chris' thoroughness was truly exceptional. He took the time to explain every step of the process in clear and understandable terms, ensuring I was fully informed and empowered at all times. His recommendations were spot on, and his guidance proved invaluable in securing a favorable outcome.

I am incredibly grateful for Frettens for the time and expertise. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing a similar situation. Their professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to their clients are truly commendable.

Excellent advice offered in a friendly and easy to understand way

I was recommended to seek advice from Chris Dobbs on an employment settlement agreement. I found Chris to be very pleasant and easy to talk to. The advice and guidance he offered was clear and easy to understand.

The other Frettens staff with whom I had contact were equally professional and pleasant. I will certainly recommend Frettens to friends who are in need of legal advice.

Exceptional service from start to finish! Chris Dobbs provided clear, professional guidance and went above and beyond to achieve a positive outcome in my case. His expertise and dedication were evident in every interaction, making a challenging situation much more manageable. He took the time to explain each step, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood my options. I am extremely grateful for their support and highly recommend Chris to anyone in need of employment law assistance. I would have been in a much worse place without his help. A well-deserved five stars!"
