Fantastic recommendation to Bradshaw tree law!
I was recommended Bradshaw Trees Law firm from a close friend and was not disappointed. Karen was fantastic in giving me her time and was able to turn around my situation in less than 1 week. She helped me finalise a settlement agreement I had with my employment and managed to improve the offer I had on the table slightly.
She was very diligent and reviewed my contract with me in a non-jargon way, and I felt very at ease with her. Karen had COVID and continued with the call, which demonstrated her unwavering commitment to her clients. I would highly recommend them as a firm. Although I do not wish to repeat going through another settlement, I would not hesitate to appoint Karen and her team.

Settlement Agreement
Karen helped out my husband when he went through a difficult redundancy last year. So when I was in this position I had no hesitation in reaching out to Karen for support. Friendly, professional advice putting me at ease right away. I would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Reliable, professional support
I came to use Bradshaw Trees services following notice of redundancy. I was given fantastic support from the first call right through the process. Karen and her colleagues were very responsive and gave me confidence in all interactions with my employer during the process.

Settlement agreement advice
At short notice, and with little time to consider any terms, I needed to agree the terms of a settlement agreement. I reached out to Bradshaw Trees Law and received an almost immediate response from Karen. She filled me with confidence that she knew exactly what she was doing and outlined the approach and strategy to be applied. The advice was prompt and relevant and the outcome was the best I could hope for in the circumstances. I would definitely recommend.
