Settlement Agreement advice

5

My employer presented me with a settlement agreement out of the blue, and with less than one year's service, I knew my options were limited. Paula was absolutely brilliant from the first phone call - giving calm and reassuring advice, which helped me get over the shock and focus on the practicalities. Her guidance was clear, helpful and insightful, and she negotiated a better deal with the utmost skill and consideration. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar, unfortunate position. Thank you.

Settlement Agreement Negotiations

Having contacted Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors having been placed in a surprising and upsetting position by my employer they immediately put me at ease.
Paula is worth her weight in gold, she was a professional, articulate, knowledgable and patient. She dealt with the perniciousness of my employer with dignity and determination and never once let me feel anything other than 100% reassurance. I would recommend Paula to anyone in an employment law situation without hesitation.

At first I was a bit apprehensive to use Geoffrey Leaver solicitors, but they came very highly recommended from a friend/business colleague.
I asked myself, as most of us do.
Would I be given an honest opinion as to whether I had a genuine Employment grievance?
Would my case be followed through with the same contact and not passed from one person to another?
Would I be given a clear, accurate and timely response to my concerns now and in the possible coming months?
Would I get value for my money?

My initial consultation was with Mrs P Stuart who presentenced herself in a professional, clear, no-nonsense and positive approach which gave me a good reassurance I was being dealt with by the correct person/company.

Throughout the months Mrs P Stuart dealt with this case, I never once felt unsure or unclear as to what I could expect. My concerns, questions at every point throughout, were dealt with in a professionally quick timely response and to a very high standard.

I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors.
