Client Testimonials
I recently found myself in need of an Employment Solicitor. It was very daunting to know which firm to go with but in the end I chose Pickerings as it is a name that I had heard of. I am certainly thankful that I had chosen them. Joanna Robson instantly made me feel at ease and helped me navigate the documentation that I had. I was very grateful for her knowledge and was happy for her to negotiate my situation for me ending in a very acceptable outcome.
Would highly recommend Pickerings.

The service I received was excellent and dealt with in a very professional and proficient manner. I was grateful for the response from the start due to the short notice which was really important in my situation. I received a very satisfactory outcome to the conclusion of my case with a much improved offer which was gratefully received.

I would like to stress how thoroughly grateful I am with the service and advice Joanna Robson has provided to me for an ongoing employment dispute.
From our initial meeting with my wife and I, she had shown a real compassion for us during a very stressful period and throughout the entire case she has given outstanding advice and in turn has helped me to achieve the best outcome and financial settlement that I could have hoped for.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanna and Pickering Solicitors in the future.
JJ Baker, Jan 2024
I would just like to say that after a very shocking voluntary redundancy, I was very impressed with how Joanna handled this process on my behalf. She was very professional and also reassuring at the the same time, she put me at ease in an unexpected situation. Credit due.
