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.

I urgently contacted John he understood the case and asked for all documentation to review. He gave a quote and worked skilfully on getting the desired results. I’m very pleased and this was all cleared up under 2 weeks. John was patient and thoughtful throughout. Thank you for your help.

I had the pleasure of engaging with John at DPH recently to close out a severance agreement. John is incredibly knowledgeable, very experienced and whilst being totally professional is able to think on a personal scale which is, in my opinion, essential when dealign with topics like this. Not that I want to have to need John's services ever again, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to get in contact.

Excellent advice from an outstanding law firm. I contacted them when I was facing a tough time at work and had already reached out to two other firms to see if they could help.

John McConkey from DPH Legal took the matter on a Damages Based Agreement so this meant I wasn't charged for the work unless damages were recovered.

The dispute was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. In fact the result exceeded my expectations.

I cant recommend them bhighly enough.

Five stars from me.
