Michael Horne has been absolutely exceptional supporting me with my recent employment matter. From the initial call (on a Saturday) Michael was supportive and reassuring. He met me just hours later to provide me with clear and straightforward advice. After spending 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon with Michael, for the first time in a month I felt reassured, supported and had a clear plan of action.
Michael ensured my matter was dealt with professionally and swiftly throughout and he was very reasonable and fair with pricing. Michael gave me a rough estimate when we first met and the total was
