Report
I dealt with Paul Johnson for quite some time and I found him to be very fair and considerate with the extremely complex employment details he was presented with relating to an invisible disability. Over time they supported me extremely well with the relevant actions & documents required at different points. I also grew to know Wendy his secretary exceptionally well and she was a great support to me too - thank goodness for this support. I would highly recommend Thomson & Bancks because Paul was an extremely good employment solicitor, showed sympathy but more importantly really listened to some

I cannot rate Thomson & Bancks Solicitors highly enough. We have used Sylvia Gillham and her team to undertake the conveyancing on both our last house purhases, the last of which was a tricky affair. Professional and diligent. No stone was left unturned and we were given sound advice and support throughout the whole process. All enquiries were met with speed and efficiency. Great team. Can't thank them or recommend them enough.. especially as we live in Devon and not Worcestershire!
