Excellent and compassionate service from Sophie
I would absolutely recommend Sophie! She was incredibly knowledgeable, and supportive in my ill health retirement application which was very emotive and difficult for me.

Impressive depth of support and advice with a settlement agreement
Sophie helped me get a settlement agreement across the line that I'd managed to negotiate with my employer. I was really impressed with the way Sophie took time to understand my situation, and outline different courses of action even before reviewing the settlement wording with me. In the event, there were a number of things she picked up on in the proposed agreement that enabled me to negotiate better terms. Having been a trade union rep and supported member settlements previously, I can honestly say this was the most comprehensive support I've experienced from a solicitor.

Advice of strength, reassurance and empathy
It is without any doubt, that I could not have navigated my situation without Sophie and the support LincsLaw provided.
Sophie was incredibly thorough in stepping through and gathering the facts of a complicated situation having spanned several months. Despite this, Sophie was efficient and effective, in deducing the matter and provided thorough solid, sound and hugely supportive advice which most importantly provided me the strength to drive my situation through to its natural conclusion. Sophie & the team were readily available to be of support at such short notice in support of my matter.
Sophie's fairness surrounding time spent/invoiced, emotional understanding, compassion and connection to her clients, in wholly respecting their personal situation, what was important, their feelings and the emotional impacts a legal matter can have on someone, absolutely made the thorough and professionally grounded legal service she provided.
Thank you again for all your support. I will certainly be back should I ever need.

LincsLaw were contracted to carry out a review and advise on my redundancy settlement agreement. The document review took place at LincsLaw offices and were conducted in a friendly and professional manner. I was advised of some minor wording amendments, and all my legal rights were fully explained.
Communication was excellent and I am thoroughly satisfied with both the service I received and the quality of the advice.

From the moment I filled in the web contact form Lincs law called and put me in touch with a lawyer. The process was very smooth and professional. The advice I received was very through, and coverd every clause of the agreement.
The nicest part of the whole process is that I felt I have a highly competent lawyer on my side representing my best interest.
