Incompetent and expensive

Me and my husband have chosen Warner Goodman based on online reviews, which were looking great. After dealing with multiple big companies in the past, we wanted a quick and efficient service. Things started well, but as the process was dragging on for 4 months, nobody had a sense of urgency. We were passed around multiple assistants, some more lacking in competence than the others. One of them blatantly lied to me over the phone repeatedly, and must have counted on me not following up on his word. Altogether we had to push like mad to get things done, and felt really stressed for most of the process.

Excellent employment lawyers

I had the pleasure of working with Grace Kabasele from the Employment Team who assisted me with my settlement agreement. Grace was knowledgeable and reassuring, she walked me through the process and diligently explained all the proposed terms from my employer's offer, as well as negotiating additional terms to ensure my best interests were being met. I was updated regularly on all progress being made until the matter was successfully and swiftly concluded. I felt at ease despite enduring this difficult time in my life; I would highly recommend her services.

Dear Halla, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that Grace provided knowledgeable and reassuring assistance with your settlement agreement, ensuring your best interests were met. We appreciate your recommendation. Best regards, Warner Goodman LLP

Employment

I appreciated the support received from Mr Robson and also Cath the advisor in a difficult situation arising from a long term employee for cleaning declining to co operate with the implementation of a contract for her work when we realised that she did not have one. This was a consequence of her being employed in two roles as a cleaner and as a carer with a contract that transferred to an agency when care of my disabled son was taken over by the NHS. One problem was that she had taken on a third job which interfered with her jobs in our home as she was 'working' over 90 hours but was not accepting that she wasn't helping herself or us. This led to a breakdown in our previously good relationship and she was unable to return in either capacity. It was a difficult time as she had felt like part of our family for years. My sister and I recommended our brother came to you with an employment problem afterwards.

We instructed Warner Goodman to carry out conveyancing for sale and purchase. We arranged a fixed contract and we were told of any further expense during the process. Both purchase and sale went according to plan. Everyone we spoke to in the team were very polite and helpful. Kiri Saunders-Brown who carried out the purchase was extremely helpful as we had to be guided a little on the equity release and this she did for us very well. I would have no qualms in recommending Warner Goodman for conveyancing.

Warner Goodman dealt with the sale of our old flat and purchase of a new home in a very professional and, considering the circumstances, timely manner.

To go from initial conversations to standing in our new home in just 3 months, a mere 3 days before Christmas Eve, was no small achievement. We'll forever be grateful for how hard everyone worked to get us sorted during such a busy period.

I can only thank them, from the bottom of my heart, for their diligence, professionalism, and above all patience when dealing with a couple of at-times stressed and frustrated young folks.

Look no further.
