Ashley Hunt, Director, Employment
"I am writing to say thank you so much.
Thank you first of all for taking up my case and for continuing with it even when the legal insurers thought I didn’t have a case.
I am very pleased with the overall outcome. I am genuinely very appreciative of all the hard work you have done for me.
I will remember this for the rest of my life and I will definitely recommend you guys to my family and friends."
Sejal Patel, Solicitor, Employment
Lawson West Solicitors, Leicester
Redundancy: "From inception, Sejal was very easy to approach and prompt with her replies – her initial email came within hours of me contacting the firm.
Sejal’s thorough, supportive, clear, pragmatic approach to my predicament meant I immediately felt reassured. Sejal asked intelligent questions and I found her to be very organised and invested in helping me deal with my situation. Her advice and guidance gave me confidence to interact with my employer. Her involvement had such an impact that I managed to avoid having to go through a formal grievance procedure and my company agreed to my redundancy package, very quickly.
My experience with Sejal Patel and Lawson-West has led me to believe that if the worst ever happens again, things will work out. Just knowing I can call upon Sejal and the firm to support me again means I have peace of mind that I will be treated fairly in the future. You have my deepest gratitude."
"Sejal has been, in my humble view, outstanding. She has been marvellous."
