Total piece of mind

5

I was recommended Rita and am so glad I reached out to her. From our first conversation she made me feel much better about the situation I was in, explained my options to me, the timeline and the costs involved and built trust with me quickly. I was able to then make an educated decision about what to do. All of my interactions with Rita were clear and prompt and she continually made me feel supported and understood. Although I hope I won't need her services again I wouldn't hesitate to reach out if I need legal representation in the future.

Edward Liu's Settlement Agreement

Rita is very knowledgeable, sorting out my employment settlement agreement with my employer. Rita was very patient taking me through all my options and explaining using terms I could understand. Rita was good at communication when there was progress with the employer.

Alls well that ends well for me. Overall great service.

Victory

I found myself caught in a dispute with my previous employer where I was owed a considerable sum of money.

I’d never experienced employment issues before and was left to search Google for a solicitor. I had little knowledge of the legal process or what might be required, so was delighted when I finally found Rita Kochar, a solicitor specialising in employee law.

After my initial consultation with Rita, I was relieved that I had found someone who understood my position, was able to form an opinion of how this case might be handled and was able to take enough pertinent information from me to consider her opinion overnight.

When Rita called the next day, it was obvious that she had already spent some time looking at the legalities of my case and was able to explain, with examples, what her considered course of action would be.

I engaged Rita, who proceeded to initiate discussion with my previous employer and suggest ways to mitigate the situation that had arisen. She worked diligently and consistently, referring to me at every milestone in the process and informing me well before time, that another charge would soon be payable, what it was for and what the pro’s and con’s of continuing with the process would be.
I was pleased I had total trust in Rita and was able to allow her to guide me through what became a 5-month process. Due to her careful planning and a meticulous strategy, I’m please to say that Rita was able to win the case for me and secure my missing monies.

I would highly recommend Rita to work with a potential client to explain and shepherd them through what is a daunting experience, shrouded in legal context that she explained simply and effectively. I am grateful Google offered her name to me as she has been a steadying and calming influence throughout the process, as well as delivering that knockout punch to victory.

Thanks you Rita.

Rita was recommended to me by several of my colleagues and I can understand why. Rita was helpful, efficient, professional and really helped me through a daunting and intimidating process.
I really felt someone was looking out for my interests all the way through the process. I have no hesitation in recommending Rita to others.

Exemplary Service

5

After a long career with my employer I found my position under threat due to my age. I felt I needed professional legal support and spoke with Clarice Izatt who handled my initial query efficiently, and took detailed notes. As my situation at work deteriorated, a settlement agreement was being forced on me.
My case was passed on to Rita Kochar, who immediately understood my position and contacted my employer. At every stage Rita explained all options and kept me informed regularly. I was very impressed at her tenacity and her ability to get her point across to my employer in a firm manner, not allowing any delay to the process.
This resulted in a positive outcome beyond my expectations.
Rita has been a great support to me in what has been a stressful time in my career.
I cannot thank her enough - well done Rita!

Thank you Rita Kochar

5

Rita has successfully helped me win my appeal for unfair dismissal. She was brilliant from start to end in writing up my appeal letter with all the information I gave her. She had my best interests from the first email of communication. When we spoke on the phone she was clear on what information she needed from me to help me with my case. Rita clearly takes pride in her work to offer her clients the upmost professionalism and I felt the price I paid was fair. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in a similar situation. Once again thank you Rita.
