Not very good when first person spoke with caught in a lie. Upsetting time as is made distrust worse. Avoid if you can. Dont bother asking me to contact to sort this review as I wint change my mind a lie is a lie no getting around it. In response to I'm not a client well allegedly I am a beneficiary of a client so that makes it even more serious a complaint. At the end of the day regardless if client or not rhen first point of contact should still not lie!!!!

Report
A great service from start to finish. 2 years ago my husband and I walked into PHH solicitors to speak with Martin Shipway about a making a claim in employment tribunal. I was heavily pregnant, extremely stressed and had no idea about my rights or what I should do. From the start Martin was professional and very clear about my options and the process that I would be going through. On the whole, Martin and his secretary Tracey have been prompt to deal with my queries and have been very easy to deal with.
Martin picked a barrister to appoint to me for the tribunal dates and his choice did not

Sophie Mercer dealt with the sale and purchase of properties for me and she was fantastic from start to finish. Communication was timely and relevant, she provided sound advice throughout and was tenacious with the other solicitors in the chain. Thank you for making the process run smoothly.
