Excellent support
Sophie met me quickly to help work through my case. She went through the chronology in detail pulling out key points. She provided clear advice on where my case had strengths and weaknesses and we discussed the pros and cons of different options for every element. Importantly, whilst Sophie clearly understood the legal aspects of the case she was also reassuring and empathetic at a stressful time. She provided assurance that I had done the right thing in supporting others. Her written advice was detailed and she provided a range of options going forward with various cost / funding options.

Best employment solicitors in the country!
I had an amazing experience with Sophie. She explained everything in my redundancy package and provided additional advice as needed. She was professional, friendly, and explained every detail in a clear and concise manner. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Sophie personally for making the process smooth, as these things can be stressful. If you are going through a redundancy or dealing with a difficult situation at work, I highly recommend LincsLaw. They will help you like no other firm and will exceed your expectations. Thanks again, Sophie!

Settlement Agreement
Both the initial advice from Jasmine and subsequent case-management from Sophie were excellent. Everything was explained in simple but detailed terms throughout the entire process and each of the points raised by myself were considered fully and not dismissed until I was satisfied they had been fully addressed. I could not have been happier with the service provided or the outcome of my case and thank LincsLaw for their support.

Sophie Goodwill - First Class
From first contact Lins Law were very responsive and good communications throughout.
Sophie Goodwill was very professional and personal, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sophie kept everything clear and easy to understand and her support and advise was exemplary.
I felt I had a reasonable understanding of my employment issue and having previously spoken with ACAS felt I well informed. However, Sophie has so much experience and knowledge that her expertise increased my belief in the unfair treatment I had received from my ex-company. Sophie was honest and straight talking and clearly outlined the options and potential outcomes for each so I was able to make an informed decision. The result was an improved settlement and quick resolution.
Be in no doubt that having a professional like Sophie on your team to support and mentor you is extremely valuable.
