Testimonials

"Thank you so much for contacting me so quickly. This is a great result and I am very grateful to you for your hard work and efforts." - Martin Armitage, Solicitor, Minster Law

"We would like to pass our thanks to Clerksroom for the introduction to Barrister Rebecca Hodgkin. What was expected to be a straight forward case felt increasingly complex and became somewhat nerve wracking. We were fully supported throughout the process by Rebecca in her calm yet focussed and totally professional manner. Considering we met only on the Monday to start a three day Tribunal on the Wednesday, to then win the case on the Friday – speaks volumes about Rebecca’s ability. We will be recommending Clerksroom at any opportunity."  - Tui & Steve Shirley - Public access clients, employment matter.

"I have to say that I continue to be impressed with the Clerksroom service and I am extremely pleased that Rebecca [Hodgkin] is so attentive, thorough and a pleasure to deal with." - Jim Cozens, in Public Access Employment Appeal Intermediary at Cheshire Legal Services

"Brilliant result - thank you Rebecca". - Rachel PoveyFletchers Solicitors
