Excellent and extremely supportive solicitors

5

Emily and Michelle came to the rescue at a time when I really needed help (and urgently). During an extremely stressful and upsetting few months things took a turn for the worse and I got in touch with the only people I could think of - Michelle and Emily. They were both incredibly supportive, efficient and extremely professional. I felt my concerns were heard, they were empathetic and as a result, my corner was fought. No one wants to experience issues with their employer or have to raise formal grievances, but if you are having a tough time, these are the best solicitors to go to for that support. They made the process effortless, gave me constant reassurance and guidance. As a result, I was able to regain my confidence and move on and I am forever grateful for their support. Thank you!

Couchman Hanson Solicitors - Excellent Legal Service!

5

We had an amazing experience with Couchman Hanson Solicitors. Emily Yeardley and Mr. Daniel Couchman handled our case professionally and achieved an outstanding result. Emily Yeardley handled our case mostly and we are thankful for her expertise. She answered all our questions with great clarity and patience and kept us informed every step of the way. Emily was very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. She negotiated a very advantageous out-of-court settlement for us, avoiding a long and costly trial. Her negotiating skills are impressive. We are profoundly grateful for their services and we would highly recommend Emily Yeardley and Daniel Couchman to anyone seeking legal services in corporate cases.

I can highly recommend the services of Emily Yeardley assisted by Amy Sullivan. They were both very professional, discrete and understanding on a matter that was sensitive to me and my family.
Emily was always friendly and sensible in her advice and I felt truly looked after and in safe hands.
Thank you Couchman Hanson Solicitors, Emily Yeardley and team for all you have done for me. With very best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2024!

Recently I had to seek legal advice for the first time, but I had no idea who to ask. Couchman Hanson Solicitors were local to me so I tried them, safe to say that was a good choice. They instantly took a great weight off my shoulders. They then dealt with the job very quickly giving constant updates and support. If I ever need legal advice or help again, I will be calling these guys. I highly recommend them.
