This firm have been excellent from start to finish. There are some things I thought could have been done better at the start of our journey together ie: witnesses should have been interviewed and statements taken because 2 years down the line when we were prepping for court my witnesses were no longer interested in helping me bring a bully to justice! I had 6 women all bullied by the same manager but they had just had enough of hearing about it and reliving it. In heinsight these statements should have been taken early on in prep for a potential future court case when everyone was wanting the justice. I would recommend. Debbie

Robert and his team worked hard from start to finish to get the right result for me. Giving me sound solid and professional advice and more to the point a pragmatic view of the right things to do!
Every time I visited I left the office feeling better than I entered and Robert just knows his job, you have to have confidence in his abilities, experience counts !!
Thanks to Robert and Alison

Down to Earth, Conscientious

Robert and his team are very reactive and responded well and quickly to my needs. Reactions to emails and queries were reassuringly rapid and complete. Robert’s advice was sound and measured; obviously backed with a wealth of experience and knowledge. He also showed admirable empathy to my situation and emotions around it with humour and humanity.

I was assisted by the expert counsel of Robert Gibson of Samuel Phillips Law Firm. I am extremely grateful for the detailed advice and support that he and his colleagues offered me which led to the dropping of a case against me. I consider his service good value for money and would recommend him strongly.

Attention to detail was excellent. Sally ensured she had correct detail and did not hesitate to keep me up to date as things progressed. The display of faith, dedication and reliability from both Robert and Sally is commendable. I brought my case to you feeling lost and with little hope of a resolution. You succeeded where others failed, taking on a challenge my Union deemed unwinnable. Thank you!
