Highly recommend
From my initial contact with Kimberley, who was incredibly kind, listened to me and offered reassurance when I was struggling with my work situation, to working with Luke, who was incredibly supportive, professional and highly knowledgeable, I felt cared for and validated when I needed this support at a very difficult time. I cannot recommend Menzies Law highly enough.

Trusted, highly professional service
Luke provided me with great advice on my situation within tight timescales and was realistic about the options available to me. Having to use legal services was a new and daunting endeavour for me, but Lindsey and Luke explained the process and charging structure clearly. I would highly recommend Luke and Menzies Law, and I would definitely use them again if the need arose.
