Rachel Evans provided a 10/10 service
I had a great experience with DPH Legal, Rachel handled my case with such professionalism, efficiency, and compassion and made an extremely stressful situation much easier. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and dedication and delighted with the swift outcome she provided for me. Would highly recommend.

Constructive dismissal case
Rachel was very supportive and helpful at a time when I was feeling quite distressed about what had happened to me. She listened to me and sought my advice about the employer to help present the best possible case. Her advice was clear and I was confident in her approach. We got the outcome we sought although the employer was mean with regard to paying my legal fees. I ended up paying DPH more than I expected due to the employer making changes and causing delays. However Rachel was open and honest with me from the start and did an excellent job so I was happy with the overall outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DPH, Rachel Evans in particular.

This company handled my employment claim. They were good, the only thing I will say is that they could have pushed for more money than I got, they left a gap of about 2 weeks where they didn't do anything, that is the time I think they could have pushed for more but they left it until he day before the deadline. Dissapointed at this outcome.

“I highly recommend John McConkey DPH Legal for anyone needing legal support with employment matters. He helped me resolve my employment termination amicably and professionally. From the very beginning, John showed deep knowledge, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for me. The entire team was involved in my case, and the price was incredibly reasonable given the level of support I received. I am so grateful to have been in His hands because, without his help, I don’t know if I would have managed to get through the whole process. John is not only a remarkable lawyer but also an amazing person. I would recommend him and his team DPH Legal 100%!”

Rachel was honest and open about my case from start to finish. Thorough and prompt with responses, for questions I had. Made the whole process feel a lot smoother than I anticipated. Have already, and would in the future, recommend your services. Thank you

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel Evans as my solicitor during a redundancy settlement with my employer, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support. Rachel was an exceptional listener, always attentive to my concerns, and patient in explaining every detail of the process. She took the time to make sure I fully understood how the system works, which made a huge difference during what could have been a very stressful time.
Her guidance was clear, professional, and compassionate, and I always felt that I was in safe hands with her expertise. Rachel's advice was invaluable, and she helped me secure a fair settlement that I am very satisfied with. I couldn't thank her enough for her assistance and highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal support.
Thank you, Rachel, for your dedication and hard work!
