What an absolutely AMAZING experience with DPH Legal, Reading! My solicitor was Farideh Moallemi. She is fast, efficient and works super hard to get you exactly what you want. She informed me of my choices every step of the way and made me feel like I was in safe hands. She is supportive and friendly, with a great sense of humour and a huge amount of passion for her job and her clients.

I feel privileged that I managed to find her and that she took on my case. I wouldn't hesitate for a single second to recommend her and the DPH Legal team to anybody who is going through an employment tribunal. I can't thank you enough Farideh

I instructed Samuel Gray from DPH legal in relation to a situation which arose with my previous employer. I had been considering taking action for several months and eventually took the plunge and contacted Samuel at DPH Legal for advice on my employment situation. Samuel was calm and direct and explained clearly what my options were. The situation was resolved quickly and amicably and the financial result exceeded my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Samuel or DPH Legal to anybody in need of employment law advice in the future.

I instructed Mark Lafferty at a time which was particularly difficult for me professionally and personally. I needed to find a lawyer that spoke in plain English but was able to deal with complex matters in an empathetic manner. Mark was that person. I cannot recommend Mark or the firm DPH Legal highly enough. My employer acted in an extremely aggressive manner towards me and they were not particularly easy to negotiate with.

They initially refused to change their position but eventually they relented. Mark dealt with the case from beginning to end in a calm and efficient way and put me at ease even when at one stage it seemed as if there would not be an amicable resolution to the dispute. DPH responded to my calls and emails quickly and efficiently and at no stage did I feel that I was alone.

They were always there to support me. Thank you DPH Legal and in particular to Mark, Denise and the team for helping me though this difficult time. Please rest assured that I wont hesitate to pass on your contact details to others who find themselves in a similar predicament to me. Thanks again!

I used DPH Legal for a very complex employment law problem. Before contacting DPH Legal I had shopped around but didn't feel comfortable with other firms who didn't seem interested and were pretty unresponsive. From the start, Sarah was supportive and helpful and clearly knew her stuff. This put me at ease right away. Even though my issues were complicated Sarah explained things in simple terms and seemed completely unfazed by the very aggressive approach taken by the other party.

I was glad to have her on my side and this really took the stress out of the situation. Sarah was polite and responsive and a real safe pair of hands. Overall, very happy with the service and outcome.

DPH Legal provided a thorough, prompt, and professional service. A solicitor was always available to clearly answer all of my questions. I appreciated their thoughtful advice at every step in the legal process. They were able to explain the process and their recommendations for moving forward in a concise manner that was clear and easy to understand.

Their extensive experience allowed them to develop a robust legal strategy which fully incorporated my aspirations. In my view, their rates are more than reasonable, especially considering the quality of service they provided. They were always upfront and transparent about the costs involved throughout the legal process. Moreover, they made a clear effort to be efficient and minimize my legal costs without ever compromising on the quality of service. Overall, I had a very positive experience working with DPH Legal and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

I cannot fault the service I received from DPH Legal when I was made redundant, David from the initial query and assuring me on the process and timescale and Sarah going through the actual agreement and pushing my employer on what is right for her client, Additionally reaching out to me on her day off. I recommend anyone with any employment law requirements to use them. A1 Service

I found this firm via Google, wanted a firm reasonably nearby and liked the fact it was not a corporate firm. The Managing Partner, David Harris responded to my voicemail promptly and I was appointed Varsha Maistry-Ahmed as my counsel. Varsha was personable, empathetic and diligent, providing excellent advice. I would highly recommend DPH LEGAL for their high quality service and professional yet friendly approach.

I received outstanding service from Mark at DPH Legal when dealing with my employer: the clear explanation given about the process and the guidance about what could be expected was invaluable in negotiating a more satisfactory settlement. Disputes are, by definition, stressful but a swift response underpinned with extensive professional expertise go a long way to alleviating the pressure and providing reassurance. Although my case was relatively straightforward, I always felt my interests were a priority. Very impressive customer service: Many thanks.

From the first initial contact with Paul Hayward at DPH Legal I felt here was someone who really genuinely cared. The service we received was excellent. His advice and professionalism was first class. However, it was his supportive approach to us from what was an awful ordeal that made it bearable. He was always there to listen and advise as well as locate an excellent barrister to take our case forward. I would highly recommend this company and in particular Paul Hayward for excellent service and a very supportive approach.
