Helpful & Reassuring
When I received a settlement agreement from my employer with no prior warning or explanation, I needed support quickly. Melissa was reassuring, helpful, and patient - I hadn’t needed any legal advice before and she ensured to take time to explain everything to me and made me feel so at ease at each step. It was a difficult time but made much easier with a solicitor like Melissa who was always honest and gave great advice. Thank you so much.

I'm Very Grateful
I was referred to DTM Legal by my employers as part of a mandatory legal requirement for Voluntary Severance, and they were uniformly excellent from start to finish. I was originally overseas when my VR application was confirmed and as I’d asked for a quick release, was given a fairly short timeframe to complete the process so there was significant time pressure involved.. I contacted DTM Legal by email from Greece and they responded almost straight away, referring me immediately to the relevant employment solicitor, who when contacted directly again responded almost instantly and who was happy to arrange an appointment on my first day back from holiday. That initial meeting, and all following communications were marked by a clarity of instruction and straightforward approach to the process which was extremely helpful and reassuring, and again all subsequent paperwork, messages and emails were promptly despatched and any queries were answered immediately. Therefore, I would have no hesitation in stating that DTM Legal helped hugely in facilitating what is inevitably an alien and complex process, and mitigated considerably against the inevitable stress that such a procedure brings. Therefore, I’d have no hesitation in recommending DTM Legal fully and without reserve.
