Helen...I wanted to take the opportunity of putting in writing my thanks for your advice and also support… you were fantastic at getting back to me promptly throughout, you listened attentively to my views and helped me navigate a somewhat emotional situation." Ms R 2018  "When I contacted Just Employment I was a little apprehensive as I'd never needed a solicitor before. However, Helen was incredibly helpful and made sure I understood every part of the process. The whole process was made very simple and I trusted in what I was being advised. I would definitely recommend Helen and the rest of the team.
