Report
I cannot thank Micaila enough for the help, support and advice she has given me over the last couple of years while we waited for my tribunal case to be heard. We won against my ex employer for unlawful dismissal. For me it wasn't just the legal knowledge, I found Micaila very supportive and understanding when I was a complete emotional mess. Thank you for our successful outcome - I could not have done this without you. Highly recommended *****

Micaila's attention to detail and knowledge of the law are second to none and were it not for her the consequences for me could have been severe. Any legal problems I will always refer to Micaila. Highly recommended.
