A friend recommended Mike Hornsby when I was suddenly made a settlement / redundancy offer from my employer of 18 years. He was an very sympathetic listener and dealt with the legalities of my case efficiently. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who needs employment law advice.

Mike Hornsby at Gisby Harrison is totally professional and made the whole process of dealing with my ex employer really simple. He talked me through every stage of the negotiations and achieved a decent settlement on my behalf. I'd definitely recommend contacting him if you have any issues regarding employment law.

Louise and Carol have from Gisby helped us buy our first property. They were very diligent and thorough. They answered all our questions and helped us buy the property without even having to visit them. Most importantly there were no delays caused due to them as one of them was always available for us for all the important moments of the purchase. I will be using them for my next purchase and would recommend them without hesitation.

Report
Sarra Argyrou at Gisby Harrison Solicitors handled the sale of our flat in Hertford and I could not recommend her or the company any higher. Sarra was always professional and handled all of the conveyancing issues expertly and in a timely manner. We were recommended the company by Morgan Alexandra estate estates that were acting on our behalf and I am very happy they suggested them. Sarra personally went above and beyond in supporting us and ensuring paperwork was signed and completed and helped us navigate through a potentially stressful transaction. We are now using them for the purchase of a new property. Highly recommend

I was recommended Gisby Harrison Solicitors and contacted them to see if they could help me with an employment issue. I have to say, they were amazing from the word go! The advice which Michael Hornsby gave me was second to none. I felt completely at ease and in good hands throughout each stage of the case. Mike is very easy to speak with, is very down to earth and knows the employment laws inside out. I would highly recommend Mike and would once again like to thank him for his help with my matter.

Report
I engaged Mike Hornsby following a recommendation from a trusted friend. My company had recommended a number of City law firms but I chose Mike for complete separation on a matter regarding settlement contract negotiations with my employer and their parent company. Mike reacted quickly, had good experience in this field and was able to conclude the legal negotiations within the allotted 3 week time frame. Very pleased to have had Mike involved and would recommend him for any employment law needs.
