Professional and pragmatic

I reached out to DTM Legal with a complex employment case. Tom was methodical and pragmatic, and it was apparent from the off that Tom is a true expert in the field of Employment Law. I appreciated Tom´s empathetic yet realistic approach to my issue. He guided me every step of the way, explained legal terminology in a way I could understand and was proactive with follow-up. A true professional and I have no hesitation in recommending Tom and would use him again.

As first time buyers, its always daunting to know what to do when and how all the house buying processes work. Emily was there with us throughout the whole process, supporting us on getting answers, super clear communication & prompt responses!

I would recommend her to any one and will 100% use in the future again!!

Very quick and professional

This review is for a different branch.

Thanks to DTM Legal, we managed to buy our house within a very short time frame since our sellers needed to be done before the stamp duty changes on 1/4/25. Soraya and Sue really pushed things and we completed on time. They were always happy to pick up the phone and speak to me. Thanks to everyone who worked on our purchase.

This review is for a different branch.

Having come to an end of 30 years of marriage I didn’t know which way to turn emotionally and financially

I was introduced to Anna Duffy who introduced myself to Helen Davies and Jorga Ellis

I can not thank these professionals enough for getting me through the other side emotion wise and finance wise and resulting in the best outcome for myself and children

Thank you so much Steve Ward client

Amazingly good legal support!

This review is for a different branch.

I needed legal advice during a redundancy process at work. Dealing with HR was confusing, contradictory and I wanted to know my legal position and rights. I was relieved when I spoke to Melissa on an initial enquiry call as I found it easy to talk through the issues with her, very clear about my options for next steps and also had a good legal knowledge relating to the situation. It had been a grueling process and I felt lost in the process, having Melissa to represent me gave me confidence to take action. At every stage her advice was clear, honest, friendly and easy to understand. She was very professional, kept me updated throughout and moved the process on to a speedy conclusion. She provided all the options at each stage and was upfront about outcomes and fees so I could make an informed decisions. She also managed to keep me calm and grounded throughout what was an emotionally charged period. I was happy with the settlement she negotiated and can now draw a line under the issues. I would definitley recommend using Melissa for any employment problems as it was a pleasure to work with her.

Excellent, friendly service

This review is for a different branch.

I came across Melissa because she was personally recommended to me by my IFA. And I am very glad they did.
I had a time-sensitive case and she was quick to respond within the timeframe. When we spoke, she walked me through every section of the paperwork in as much detail as required. She made sure that I fully understood any implications, clearly discussed options and made sensible recommendations.
When it came to following up to ensure that all parties were on board and that the paperwork was completed, she was persistent and thorough, also ensuring that my concerns during the process were clearly and professionally addressed.

In short, it’s been a pleasure being her client, and I won’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone else requiring similar services in the future.

Emily and Kate have both been fantastic!! I have sold 3 properties and purchased 1 with them across 2023 and 2024 and every transaction has run smooth! Their attention to detail and enthusiasm to move cases forward in a efficient manner is unbeatable. I am a mortgage adviser and work alongside conveyancing solicitors on a daily basis with my job but I can honestly say, hand on heart that I have never come across a better duo than these two. Keep up the great work you two! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
