I can highly recommend DPH Legal. I was experiencing a highly stressful time at work and didn't feel I could continue there. My employer agreed for me to exit and DPH Legal helped me to negotiate a higher settlement package than I had achieved on my own and to advise me on it so I understood what I was signing. The settlement package meant I was able to take several months to recover from the bad work experience before I had to start looking for a new role. I cannot thank John and DPH Legal enough.

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 Farideh Moallemi at DPH Legal to write letters to my previous employer following a really unpleasant experience that had been going on for some time and seemed impossible to resolve. Farideh was kind, patient, and sympathetic and really helped me during a very stressful time. She successfully negotiated a highly satisfactory outcome and really knew her stuff. Farideh's legal knowledge was excellent and put the other side to shame. She's definitely the person you would want on your side in any dispute. Would highly recommend. Thanks Farideh!

I have dealt with DPH (usually David Harris) on a number of occasions over the years, and have always been impressed by the speed of response. The advice is excellent - professional, practical and pragmatic - exactly what I need.

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.

DPH Legal were great throughout the whole of my ordeal. I dealt with Samuel and he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was a sensitive case, and at no point was I made to feel uncomfortable, and he put any worries I had to rest. I came out with the result I wanted and I have him to thank for that. - Thank you Samuel!

Excellent Legal service! From the day I contacted to completion of my case, it was an absolute fantastic support. Farideh was exceptional and I was so glad to have found her. She was able to quickly grasp my very complicated case, was sensitive in keeping my costs down and was an excellent legal guide throughout. Her moral support, when you are possibly at your lowest is particularly admirable. I fully endorse Farideh and DPH legal for having given me a fantastic support and professional service throughout.

Farideh of DPH Legal was very helpful and worked so hard, my wife and I could not thank her enough. She knew the inside out of Employment Law which helped to achieved a satisfactory result from my previous employer with an "mutual agreement" settlement. I would definitely recommend and use DPH Legal again if and when the current situation arises in the future. ThanksKevin

DPH was recommended to me by a contact in relation to an employment matter. Samantha answered the phone and from that point on my experience was excellent. She was extremely efficient, and turned around what was required within a short timescale. I would highly recommend this Company!

I cannot rate DPH legal enough. From the first hesitant phone call, feeling completely overwhelmed with a work situation, to achieving a fantastic outcome. I received legal advice from John McConkey and the situation was soon resolved swiftly and amicably for both parties. John kept me on track at all times and gave sound advice at every step of the way. I would definitely advise anyone to use their services, if faced with an employment issue.

My dealings with DPH Legal were always entirely professional and their experience and knowledge of employment law was highly evident. I felt confident in their ability and expertise and the care and attention displayed by their staff, particularly Paul Hayward, was completely reassuring at every stage of the proceedings. I would have no hesitation recommending the firm to anyone who has need of guidance.

David Harris was really understanding and pleasant to deal with on my case. He took the time to understand the situation I was in, and offered good advise before even talking about costing. The case is still outstanding, but I know David done the best he could.

I have used David Harris and team for a litigation with my former employer. The team was very knowledgeable and was able to advise me not only on the law itself but the preferable course of action to resolve my case. This shows deep understanding and commitment to help the client effectively. I would recommend anyone in need of that type of legal service to approach DHP.
