Lydia was very easy to talk to and very professional when helping me with my redundancy settlement. She gave clear explanations and responded promptly to all correspondence with my employers, always keeping me informed. The whole stressful business was resolved much quicker than I had expected. Everyone that I dealt with at Parfitt Creswell was very friendly and helpful and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Lydia W was very focused on our initial 30 minute free consultation, covering a lot of ground well. This persuaded me to sign up for service. I had to work under sudden time pressure from the courts, but she rang me back reasonably quickly. I also managed to settle the case out of court in my favour. She was pleasant and professional to deal with. Your Fulham admin office were helpful towards me providing hard-copy proofs of ID as I don't use a privacy-compromised smart phone. You can now close the file on this assignment, but please keep me registered as a client.

I am an engineer so legal documents are, at best confusing to me, and often completely incomprehensible. Lydia explained everything in plain English and was very helpful, excellent service.
