Settlement Agreement

5

I instructed Lockings to handle a settlement agreement with a former employer. Sarah explained the legal jargon in plain English and gave useful advice in our initial call. She kept me updated throughout the process and was quick to respond to emails. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of employment law advice.

Excellent solicitor

Excellent solicitor. Extremely clear and measured advice on a complex issue, had complete confidence in her from the outset. Very straightforward, waffle-free, crystal clear communication both with us and when acting for us, concise and on point. Transparent as to costs, very clear re all risks. A delight to work with, we were on the back foot when we engaged her and are now on the front foot entirely thanks to Mrs Thomsen's work on our behalf.

World class representation

5

I’m actually not sure I can give complete justice to Sarah’s representation of us and our case.

Following a 3 year battle with our insurer, Sarah took this case on and has battled tirelessly on our behalf ever since.

Sarah and her amazing team at Lockings have shown empathy at every stage and have fought so hard, mostly in the face of defendants who were at best, completely inept.

Sarah and her team don’t only tick every box you would want/need/desire in this function but also create new boxes and tick those too.

Please, if you have a litigation issue. These are the people you want on your side. I hope she takes this the right way but she is brutal, clearly understands litigation inside out and has finished our 4 year nightmare with a result which can help us move on.

She actually cares too, showing empathy and understanding all of the way, which goes a really long way when you’re at your lowest ebb.

Thankyou all so much.

Property Dispute

5

Legal advice is expensive so getting the right solicitor is essential.
Sarah Thomsen listened, gathered as much information as possible and came up with her solution to what was to us an overwhelming situation.
All her advice was written in an easy to understand manner, outlining what could happen and what she suggested as the most sensible and cost effective way to reach a good outcome.
She understood completely how difficult the situation was for us and made it a priority to keep us informed on progress and costs throughout.
Sarah's knowledge, experience and pleasant manner ensured we achieved a successful outcome.
Sarah has a wonderful assistant Sharon Asquith who is extremely efficient and always pleasant and helpful.
Would recommend to anyone.

Great work from the Lockings Solicitors team, especially Sarah Thomsen who helped me with my requirements and explained all legal jargon which I wouldn't have understood without her. Friendly and professional service which is great when dealing with legal matters. Would definitely use them again if I need a solicitor!

It was so easy to deal with Sarah and her team. Right from the first enquiry to closing the final document the team were friendly, efficient, and kept to timescales agreed.
Sarah provided expert guidance in simple to understand language which helped to clearly understand the situation and options available.

Ms Sarah Thomsen dealt with my case promptly and at the highest professional level. The case never made to the court, as my claimant was explained very clearly about the consequences they may face if loosing the case. I regard Ms Thomsen as not only a professional who knows the law in great detail but also as someone who acts in her client’s best interests even if it means she wouldn’t earn as much as she possibly could have if the matter ended up with the court. For that I cannot be more grateful: for saving my time, money and also for giving me peace of mind in a matter of a few weeks.
