Alexa handled our house purchase brilliantly. Communication was always well written, detailed and professional. The cost was one of the cheapest in Tamworth (I quoted a few places), which is what initially drew me towards Pickerings, but going forward I will always use them regardless due to their excellent service.

Amazing service by Kate Johnson in the preparation and successful conclusion of my recent unfair dismissal claim. Kate acted professionally and diligently and I would highly recommend her services and that of Pickerings solicitors

Report
In February 2021 the company I worked for wanted to change the direction they were going in so they offered me a settlement package to move on that I wasn't 100% happy with. I called Pickerings and spoke to Kate Johnson, the service and advice I was given was exceptional, Kate made what was already a stressful and worrying time much more bearable and helped me get a settlement agreement that I was happy with. I couldn't recommend Kate and Pickerings highly enough, they gave me truly excellent service and advice.

I have had a recent issue with an employment matter and i needed legal advice. I came across Kate Johnson at Pickering's Solicitors. if you are ever in a situation where you need advice, I can very highly recommend Kate Johnson. She gives very clear advice and is very quick to respond to questions/queries/emails. I cannot thank her enough for her empathy and professionalism in bringing my issue to a successful conclusion.
