From the first meeting with Paul, Paul was always clear, concise, very responsive and fought all the way to achieving the best outcome.

Client

I had a dispute with my employer about redundancy and as I had no idea about the legal side of this situation, I asked advice from Paul. Paul was very professional and was straight to the point with the information and was very easy to understand. The response off Paul was fast and he was very helpful. He seemed liked he cared about the situation and wanted to help me to the best of his ability. He filled me full of confidence with the knowledge and advice he provided me. Excellent service would recommend.

Client

I recently had a very difficult work situation in which I sought legal advice and had to turn to a solicitor for assistance. From the offset, the service that Aaron & Partners provided was excellent. Following an initial online query, I was met with a prompt response as well as guidance and information regarding financial support; this was followed by a consultation and resulted in a positive outcome. Everyone I met in the office was welcoming and efficient. Paul Hennity was very clear on the potential outcomes regarding my case. His clear knowledge and perspective on the situation gave me the confidence to proceed. I found the process stress-free as Paul handled everything relating to the matter on my behalf. My correspondence with my employer, therefore, was minimal. The outcome of the settlement process was the best-case scenario. This will personally make a huge difference to me and my family whilst I consider my future career options and spend time with my family. This has all been made possible through the hard and successful work of Paul and the team behind him.

Client

Thank you for your support, I must say your letters were absolutely on the nose and perfectly worded.

Client

I reached out to Paul following a recommendation from someone else regarding a legal matter in the workplace. Within a couple of hours of contacting him he had given me a call and discussed the situation with me over a 10 minute phone call and advised me of a few basic steps to help positively move my situation forward. Within a couple of days, Paul reviewed the documentation with my employer, responded and actioned my case with ease. I had little to no involvement after our initial conversation and I felt confident in Paul's ability to bring the situation to an amicable resolution. I highly recommend Paul and his services. He's incredibly approachable, knowledgeable and responsive and will put you at ease.
