"Andrew could not have been more patient with us, or more straightforward in explaining both the legal processes and his strategy to achieve our result.”

Paul Dunn-Sims, General Manager, Halcyon Home Care

On behalf of my co directors and I, we are so grateful to Andrew for all his hard work and professional advice. He acted with the upmost professionalism at all times and gave excellent advice from start to finish; he is a credit to his profession.

"I would like to thank you for the way you have handled our case. In the many years I have been in business I have never found a solicitor who is so accessible, efficient and through. Many thanks."

David, Technispray Ltd

"As you probably guessed it has been a difficult process for us, as we had never dealt with anything of this nature before and we had no one in the club with any professional background to advise us. This all changed once you became involved and gave us an objective view of the case, your advice and guidance then gave us the confidence to move things forward to what was an acceptable conclusion. Not sure if you ever make it to Leeds, but we remember our friends and you are more than welcome to enjoy our hospitality if you ever get the chance to visit. Thank you for all your help and advice."

Chris Gott, Leeds City Council

"Danielle...What a pity you will not be involved in the next phase of this encounter. I have enjoyed working with you and wish to thank you for all your efforts in reaching a speedy conclusion. Once again many thanks for all you have done; ultimately a satisfactory outcome."

Michael C Warren, Doncaster Engineering Company

"Danielle Fox recently advised on a tribunal case which was successfully defended. Throughout the interaction was educational and the strategy adopted very commercial. Thank you again and I can thoroughly recommend this solicitor and firm".

Director, Care Home

"Thank you so very much for your help and professionalism throughout the Employment Tribunal proceedings. Yours and the barrister's help made the outcome possible. Your preparation and organisation was invaluable. Thank you again very much."

Eva Inzani, L'Unico Limited

“I am writing to pass on my most sincere thanks and to highlight the exceptional service I received from Judith Gould, Employment Litigation Solicitor based in Croydon.

Unfortunately, we experienced our first ever Employment Tribunal claim from a former member of staff. I utilised the Legal Advice Line, as part of my FSB membership, and ultimately ended up having my claim supported by Abbey Legal.

I found Ms Gould to be very supportive and professional from the start. She explained everything in simple terms, making the legalities easier to understand as a lay person. All of my emails were responded to within a couple of hours and, when the case started to become more complex, she dealt with all matters to ensure a satisfactory outcome for our business. I was also impressed by Ms Gould’s navigation and robust negotiation, which saw the case be settled. I certainly would not want to be up against her!

Ms Gould supported us from February to May, which was a very difficult time for our business and caused me lots of anxiety. Thanks to Ms Gould the whole dilemma was mitigated and made more bearable. I wanted to write to pass on my compliments as people are often quick to complain. I genuinely valued the support I received and could not have been any more satisfied with the service I received.”

“I am writing to thank you for all your efforts over the past few weeks.

Even though this experience has been a dark chapter (all of my own ignorance), I have been buoyed up by your enthusiasm and rousing spirit. As I mentioned yesterday in our phone conversation, I had contemplated walking away from my whole business. But once I had stopped feeling embarrassed by my foolishness, I thought back to what you said about 'fighting for what is yours', which inspired me to battle on.

I am so pleased and relieved that I had the luck to speak to you, because if I hadn't, who knows what path I may have taken?

Your professional, efficient and attitude to detail is impeccable and, as the Traffic Commissioner said, 'It was a credit to you'...and, what's more, saved me enduring an hour more pain in the enquiry, (as he stated it would have taken a considerable amount of time to trawl though all of the information).

You have certainly taught me a lesson in efficiency, and with the undertakings from the Traffic Commissioner, have given me inspiration to become more professional in my administration and record keeping, which will help me prove that I had just lost sight of what was important.

Judith, a very big thank you. It was an absolute pleasure to have spoken with you and I shall be writing to Abbey Legal to 'sing your praises'. You're a star!!”
