Minal Backhouse - A Lawyer Like No Other!

5

Minal dealt with an employment matter for me and I would highly recommend her and her team at Backhouse.

A family member recommended Backhouse to me and said I need to deal with Minal as she is the best lawyer in Essex. I could not not be more thankful of her support, expertise and professionalism.

If you are looking for a law firm in and around Chelmsford, Backhouse should be your first point of call as you will not regret it.

Amy Crisp also deserves an acknowledgement too, as she was on hand during the entire process, answering all of my questions and queries.

I will be using Backhouse going forward for all my legal matters.

In the summer of last year, I had a very tricky work situation that needed the very best of advice. Choosing Backhouse was the best decision I made. From the moment I met with the team, they put my mind at rest and when about their business in a very charming and professional way. They worked outside of hours, and always went the extra mile whilst keeping me aware of development at ever step of the way. I really can not write anything negative as there is nothing to report. I would suggest Backhouse to any one in time of need. They were superb.

We recently sought some advice regarding sickness rights for my wife at work following a serious illness. My wife had employed Minal Backhouse and her team about 10 years ago, so had no hesitation in contacting them again as they were able to secure us a very satisfactory outcome at that time.

Minal provided us with some very useful information that we have been able to use as part of the 30 minute initial consultation that they offer.

We would always recommend Backhouse solicitors.

I recently worked with Minal regarding a settlement agreement and I cannot recommend their services enough.

Minal was incredibly professional and approachable. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained the process thoroughly, and provided sound, clear advice that helped me understand my options. What really impressed me was her ability to make complex legal concepts easy to understand.

Throughout the process, Minal was proactive in keeping me updated, ensuring that I was always aware of the next steps.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy solicitor, I highly recommend Backhouse Solicitors. They genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome.
