Highly professional and honest
I requested the help of Lisa Pharaoh when being made redundant.
Her guidance was incredibly kind, supportive and honest which I thoroughly appreciated.
Lisa helped me navigate and negotiate my Settlement Agreement giving me the confidence and understanding to ensure I was receiving the best possible outcome for my circumstances.
She, and her team, were responsive to any queries I had throughout the process and I never felt rushed or pressured.
I would highly recommend Lisa and Pharaoh Law to anyone requiring legal assistance.

Exceeded Expectations
I contacted Lisa at Pharoah Law to see if they could help with collating some documents for me for a money claim.
I had done a lot myself however the legal process around this is hugely challenging.
There was a short time frame however Lisa and her team immediately sprung to action and supported me in compiling all the documents. They worked to get it right even when there were alterations.
I can’t recommend them enough and am truly grateful for their expertise and kind support.

Redundancy Settlement
Having been made redundant, I engaged Lisa at Pharaoh Law (as I have previously) in respect of my settlement agreement.
