Customer service on the phone and the lawyer were polite and professional throughout the process. They took the time to explain the situation clearly and communicated with me respectfully. Although my case was difficult and the outcome was not what I hoped for, I appreciate the effort and time they gave to review the matter and provide guidance. Overall the team handled my enquiry professionally and were supportive when discussing the details of the case.

They make it stress free and friendly

As the title says, they made my settlement agreement both stress free and we're friendly, something ypu really need at that time. That went from the initial admin staff, to Gareth who dealt with my case, all very professional and helpful.

Knowledgeable

Knowledgeable, and kept on top of everything.
I got the exact outcome I was looking for. the reception team were also fantastic and looked after me.

The lawyer I had could perhaps be a little more optimistic, I am a good negotiator so was able to do this mostly myself but a little more push would have been great.

The best Employment lawyers in the UK!!!

I can’t recommend Hatton James Legal highly enough. They were absolutely amazing from start to finish and helped me incredibly quickly with an employment settlement letter when I really needed prompt support.

Their response time was super fast, professional, and reassuring, which made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. The whole process was handled efficiently and clearly, and I felt supported every step of the way.

Their website is also excellent everything is explained so clearly and accurately, even for someone who isn’t knowledgeable about the law. It really helps you understand what to expect before you even make contact.

I completely trust Hatton James Legal and would highly recommend them to anyone needing employment law advice or legal support.
