5 star service
5 star service, thank you to all the team especially Paul and Rob who dealt with my case for me, I was always updated and informed of the progress, very professional, a very happy customer and I will definitely recommend them, a big thank you.
Wouldn’t recommend
Not great atal,
I was recommended them by a friend. I sent over a lot of documents, evidence everything for my claim. Ian said he couldn’t help with my claim. The reasons he provided didn’t even make sense, apparently if you have had a grievance appeal “rejected” you cannot go to a solicitor? Does that even make sense. He also said I was “out of date” which is not correct as it was a on going issue. And I feel if he took the time to listen to my response to his email instead of ignoring my responding email he would realise this. But it seems they just couldn’t be bothered with me. I’ll take my claim for discrimination at work, bullying and harassment, deductions in wages and constructive dismissal elsewhere.

Reply from Oakwood Solicitors Ltd
Excellent service
From the first phone call to the final deal, Lucy’s help and support in providing me with the professional help I needed to get a good severance deal from my employer was invaluable. She was always available to advise, providing me with measured, sound advice and, when needed, the determination to ensure I got an appropriate settlement. I would very much recommend Oakwoods to anyone else struggling to make a settlement claim against their employer.
Stephanie walker THANKYOU ❤️🥂
Having taken it on the chin that I had lost my pension through a bad transfer investment several years ago I was shocked when approached by a no win no fee offer to regain it . I was sceptical and reluctant to commit to this , but someone on the phone convinced me to go ahead . It has literally only taken a few months and thanks to Steph and the team at Oakwood solicitors I’ve miraculously got it all back . I’m thrilled beyond words and have my money back and peace of mind . They found justice for me and I can’t thank them enough. Thanks guys 🥂

Preparation and seeing through to completion our Lasting Powers of Attorney
Katherine and the team were brilliant in preparing and seeing through to completion our Lasting Powers of Attorney. At every stage they kept us informed and the whole process was carried out in a most professional and caring way. We would thoroughly recommend Oakwood.

Stay away from this firm
Stay away from this firm.
They do not follow their own values and are not empathetic. The staff (not all) need more training. Some of the staff are lovely apart from HR. They show zero interest and support. This firm likes to waste your time and do not understand or follow the values they share. They do not like it if you say no, and believe they can pressure you. They are not supportive at all. They like to show they are a good firm, but they do not implement this in their role. They do not send out work contracts straight away and delay this process so you are unable to bring a claim for dismissal or have further concerns.
Due to their intense management and director. Worst company
Please use a different firm. Please do not work here. There are plenty of firms to chose from in Leeds and surrounding areas but avoid this one. I’m sure other firms will have more of an understanding approach and will follow their framework and values when it comes to staff.
Old building - no safety and well being for employees. Lift is out of service and has been for a long time.

Employment Law Related Query
I contacted Oakwood Solicitors for an employment law-related query and they dealt with the case very professionally and promptly. Daryl Smith was extremely helpful, explained the whole process calmly, and reassured me which I honestly appreciated as I felt quite anxious and stressed. Daryl was simply amazing. I highly recommend Oakwood Solicitors. I will definitely use their services again should the need arise. Thank you!
Lovely solicitor gave me Charlotte and my father…
Lovely solicitor gave me and my father so much support and help
A very friendly and thorough experience
Considering I had no idea what I was letting myself in for and that I was communicating from the other side of the world ( NZ) it was a very good and thorough experience. Rajan was very friendly, polite and helpful and helped me navigate through the first steps of my claim.
Approachable and knowledgeable
Initial information given in a straightforward and clear way with all questions answered so that I knew what to expect and what was possible right from the start. Progress seen very quickly and although early stages at the moment I am very pleased with Oakwood solicitors so far.
