An exceptional solicitor!

5

I recently went through a difficult time after expecting losing my job. Tim was excellent from the start, his professionalism and ability to build relationships quickly immediately put me at ease during a very stressful time. He was realistic yet passionate to get the best solution for me.
I’d truly have been lost without him and I cannot recommend him enough.

A superb Employment Law service

5

An exemplary service from a firm whose professionalism extends beyond knowledge and advice to an understanding of my needs. Tim has been first class in his handling of what has been a stressful and difficult time for me with my previous employers. The matter was dealt with swiftly and reached a successful outcome within a fee weeks. Highly recommended to all.

Very grateful to Tim's help and expertise

5

I was impressed with Tim Grainger's responsiveness and approachability from the onset. Having been recommended two different solicitors to help with a settlement agreement with my employer at quite short notice, Tim not only replied to my enquiry swiftly but he exceeded my expectations in how empathetically and compassionately he treated me and listened to my case, which made it an extremely easy decision to choose Tim to represent me.

I assumed it would be a routine correspondence, but Tim went above and beyond to support me. By the time I was introduced to Tim, I was feeling alone and defeated by my employer's settlement offer. Tim explained my rights as an employee, fought my case and won! All within a matter of a week or two. I cannot thank Tim enough for his kindness and professionalism. You have brought me closure to quite a distressing employer experience and an excellent result that I didn't believe was possible.

Employment Dismissal Case

5

FB Solicitors was recommended by a friend and I can say I was fortunate that my case was assigned to Mr Tim Grainger. He took the case on diligently from the onset; he was able to wave some conditions on my behalf with the other side which would have costed me - I don't think I would have been able to handle the case so smoothly and timely without Mr Grainger, he was sent! Thanks once again Mr Grainger and may bless the works of your hands.

Tim Grainger is a kind knowledgeable legal expert. I chose this firm because they have a strong reputation as being Christian based and for me that was the defining factor of why I chose this firm. I could not be more pleased with the service I received from Mr Bruce also who delivered morale support in spades. Tim Grainger ( employment law solicitor) listened and then gave me his advice which I took and the end result was exactly what I wanted and hoped and prayed for.

Thank you Tim!

Tim agreed to act as my legal advisor for finalising a settlement agreement on leaving a small start-up where I acted as a director. For the small fee the company was willing to entertain, I assumed it would be enough to cover a rubber-stamping, but Tim was immensely helpful and constantly available for advice for the month-long melodrama we dragged him into. He was extremely courteous and professional in all communications with all parties, and I really appreciated it - I would turn to Tim and Fiona Bruce again in a heart-beat. Thank you Tim!

Employment Advice - Tim Grainger

Employment Advice - Tim Grainger
Having practiced as a solicitor for many years, I can tell good ones from the mediocre to bad solicitors. Tim Grainger and his colleagues who practice in the employment law department of Fiona Bruce are excellent.

Looking for a specific type of employment lawyer, one who shared my faith, I found Tim via an internet search. I contacted the firm via email and received a prompt call back from the practice manager, Richard Bruce. From then on my experience of dealing with the firm was incomparable to anything else I have experienced in my professional dealings with many solicitors over a number of years.

It is a given that one should expect professional competence from one’s legal advisor. Whilst this is not what one always experiences, this is definitely what one gets with Tim Grainger. But I, like probably any client, needed more than that: I needed my lawyer to grasp and understand the claim, but also understand me, and empathise with me and my situation. I needed Tim to provide the confidence and assurances that I needed, particularly when there were difficult times in the process. Tim provided all this and achieved an outcome which was acceptable to both parties without the need for court action.

I cannot end my review without relaying the most important aspect of the advice and support that Tim Grainger gave to me during my case. Tim and I share a Christian faith. He and I prayed together at the end of each consultation. Together, we understood and agreed the goals and outcome for the case. The immediate legal and financial outcome and settlement can be quantified and examined, but we won’t know and may never know until eternity what the spiritual impacts have been and will be. Together as we worked through the claim, Tim and I placed our faith and trust in our LORD and Saviour, seeking His guidance, desiring His name to be glorified. We knew that in all that was occurring, there was a real danger of reputational damage to the institution concerned and individuals within it, damage which might have a detrimental impact upon the Church. Throughout, we worked together to take decisions and courses of action which would not lead to these damaging outcomes. Thankfully, we had a deep confidence that this would not occur. We knew that He would be glorified and that He was working and would continue to work for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

In conclusion, although times were hard, going through it all with Tim by my side was a great blessing and an experience which, over the months, I have shared with others and will continue to share in the future. Thus I strongly endorse and recommend Tim Grainger to anyone who is seeking advice in employment matters.
