The Employment Solicitor - Worcester

The Employment Solicitor provided outstanding service, and I had the pleasure of working with Zakia Tariq, who was exceptional throughout. She was professional, knowledgeable, and highly responsive, making complex legal matters easy to understand and guiding me through every step with confidence and care. Zakia’s calm, strategic approach and attention to detail gave me reassurance during a challenging time. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert support in employment law. A truly 5-star experience.

Unprofessional, negligent and incompetent. I ended up getting 25% of what I was repeatedly assured I could get by their solicitor for 6 months, and I had to finalise it myself. They messed up on negotiating and then backed out with no regard for me as a client. I had a very good case and they were too incompetent to advise me properly or negotiate. They also chastised me for asking questions about my case or for updates, despite them leaving emails unanswered, not giving me important updates I was assured I'd be given and there being several weeks between phone calls. They repeatedly made errors and rather than take accountability, they doubled down and left me to fend for myself.
Don't think your personal circumstances or health will matter either, my dad got diagnosed with incurable cancer during this process and my grandma passed away. They still hung me out to dry. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for 20 years, they will tell you they understand mental health- please understand that they don't. They didn't consider my needs as a client and their greed ended up costing me most of my compensation. Rachel Toulmin is entirely inexperienced and shows an arrogance only rivalled by her ineptitude. I was given no apology for their obvious failures and she then tried gaslighting me.
Would never recommend to anyone who actually wants their claim to be dealt with competently or compassionately and I'm so disappointed I crossed paths with them. One of the worst experiences of my life. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

The Employment Solicitor (aka The Specialist Law Group Limited) have been a great assistance to me.

From their knowledge of employment law (of course) but through to their understanding of my neurological differences (I have Asperger's) and how to communicate with me have been invaluable.

From the off, they explained what my options were and what expectations I should or could have but, at the same time, they never put me under any pressure to settle my dispute with my former employer, rather, instead, took a stance of, ‘If you are not happy, then don’t settle’, whilst explaining the consequences and risks of not settling in a reasonable and honest way.

I have been very happy with this firm, including those with whom I have dealt with specifically and more often, including Jenna, Kerry and the boss, Helen, but also everyone else who I dealt with perhaps once or twice only!

Also, and importantly, this firm is also not solely ‘money orientated’ like some other solicitor firms have been in my past experience. Of course, they are a business, not a charity, but, unlike many law firms, they don’t simply see ‘£’ signs every opportunity they have to write a letter or email or answer a telephone call.

Would I recommend them? Yes. 100%. And if I ever need a solicitor to represent me in a similar case in the future, I’ll be calling them again! But I really hope that I’ll never need to, though.

I have used Zakia for employment matters on a few occasions. She is excellent at what she does. As someone who has gone through difficulties in my employment Zakia has bought compassion and understanding along with a great deal of knowledge. Both outcomes of my cases were positive due to her management of them. I highly recommend this firm and Zakia.

I choose to go with The Employment Solicitor based on the online reviews, and especially the excellent feedback concerning Lauren, and so I was very pleased that Lauren was assigned to my case. She was excellent and provided me with in-depth knowledge and fantastic advice. She clearly and simply explained my case and the possible outcomes and steps involved, and results to quell my nerves and concerns. In the end her advice was invaluable in settling the dispute in a favourable manner.

Lauren was absolutely brilliant to work with and in a short period of time got me the result I needed. She was always available to answer my questions and made sure that I understood everything before signing paperwork. Exactly the help and support you want when you're going through a stressful time. I also had contact with Kate and she was also really helpful.
I would recommend The Employment Solicitor 100% to anyone needing employment help.

How do you sum up adequately that someone has changed your life for the better? In my first appointment with Helen I was a broken version of myself. I felt my situation was hopeless. Within the space of our appointment I felt there was some hope. Over time working with Helen and Kerry I came to see how wrongly I had been treated and being listened to, understood and supported gave me my confidence back. Helen said in our first meeting that clients leave happy with the results but I didn’t imagine how I could. Throughout our respondent threw up so many obstacles I didn’t see how we would get anywhere but with every challenge Helen in her unique way of thinking found numerous opportunities. If you feel alone or like there isn’t much hope get in contact with Helen, she will give you honest well considered advice and support. Thank you, Helen, Kerry and your team, for supporting me to get back to myself with confidence in the future.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding legal representation I received from Helen and her exceptional team. Going through a difficult period in my life, I was fortunate to have Helen by my side, guiding me through the complexities of the legal process with unwavering expertise and genuine compassion.
Helen not only possesses a deep understanding of the law but also had an innate ability to connect with me on a personal level, creating an environment of trust and reassurance. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me navigate through the challenges I faced, and I am pleased to say that I have emerged from the other side stronger than ever.
A special shout-out to Alex, who was an absolute gem throughout this journey. His understanding and empathy provided a sense of comfort, making a world of difference in the overall experience. I was so happy to find legal professionals who not only excel in their roles but also genuinely cared about my well-being.
The level of dedication exhibited by Helen and her team is commendable. They approached my case with meticulous attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a favourable outcome. Their proactive communication and timely updates kept me well-informed, eliminating any uncertainty I had about the process.
If you find yourself in need of legal assistance, I wholeheartedly recommend Helen and her team. Their expertise, combined with their genuine compassion, turned what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a manageable and empowering journey. Thank you, Helen and Team, for your unwavering support and for making a positive difference in my life.
