Professional, super fast and friendly!

This review is for a different branch.

I needed a solicitor to take me through a redundancy document.

I spoke to Rachel Evans, she was extremely quick to respond, explained everything in my language (non-legal) and completed the matter within a day.

I hadn’t quite appreciated how super easy this would be and how professional and understanding Rachel was.

I really cannot fault the service whatsoever. Fantastic. Thank you.

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

This review is for a different branch.

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 review is for a different branch.

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.

Very thorough and professional service. John is empathetic as well as intellegent. The service earned me an additional 15k on my severance package, and I would use them again as well as recommend them.

I am so grateful for the professional support during the process of my constructive dismissal. Rachel inspired confidence from our initial conversation through to the final negotiations. She pitched everything perfectly and gave me valuable advice. I am very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend your firm in the future.

“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%!”
