"I had been accepted for Voluntary Redundancy and advised to contact a solicitor to get a basic Settlement Agreement checked and authorised in a limited time. I contacted three solicitors in my area and no-one came back to me - I had been told they were exceptionally busy, despite this being a simple piece of work. I contacted PCB and Ryan Bickham got in touch the same day. We talked through everything over the phone, he explained the paperwork as we went through, asked a few questions to clarify all was correct regarding my contract, dates and salary etc. By the end of the day, all was sorted and very painless. He then proceeded to complete the necessary work and the process was finished prior to the deadline set out by my company. I would highly recommend PCB (and Ryan Bickham, of course, if Employment Law is required)."J. Ferguson
"Settlement Agreement - What I thought may have been a confusing and challenging conversation regarding my settlement was anything but. Ryan Bickham guided me through the agreement, pointed out in plain language the interpretation of each section and made me aware of my rights regarding what the Company were asking me to agree to. The whole experience was very stress free and completed in a very short period of time. My personal thanks to Ryan and I will be using PCB Solicitors again."Anonymous
A very positive experience. I was initially a bit sceptical about the need for advice/ instruction insisted upon by my former employer, but I was assured that this was perfectly normal practice and that all could be done within the available budget. The advice that I received was efficient, timely and professional. Thank you!Mrs W

"From my first point of contact and throughout the process, communication was fast and effective. Ryan was very thorough and ensured I understood all of the implications and aspects of the case. Pricing was made clear at the first contact to help make the decision about instructing PCB to act on my behalf. I have used PCB before and will not hesitate to use them again, and to recommend them to anyone requiring legal assistance."Mrs S
