Reviews include:

"From the moment I had my initial conversation with Katie, I immediately felt at ease. Her combination of expertise, fairness, and determination assured me that I had a reliable advocate by my side. Katie handled every aspect with clarity and efficiency, alleviating a significant amount of stress. I wholeheartedly endorse Katie - thank you!"

"Katie recently advised on my redundancy settlement agreement. Katie was great to deal with - very approachable & friendly, quick turnaround time, explained all the legal jargon well, and most importantly I feel that the legal advice that I got was first class with Katie making several adjustments to my agreement to make sure that I was properly protected. Would recommend. Thank-you Katie!"

 

Client feedback

Excellent service from any of the categories that serve the public.

Mr T, Carr Vale

Straightforward explanation of each section of the settlement agreement with ample opportunity to ask questions and have “plain English” discussion. An open and friendly, but professional manner was evident from the advisor.

Mr R, Clay Cross

It was a real pleasure to meet with Katie Ash; she made my “getting legal advice” simple, straightforward with compassion yet professional.

Mr P, Rise Park

Banner Jones were recommended to me and I shall certainly recommend to others. I have rarely been made to feel so at ease while being so impressed.

Dr H, Sheffield
