"I recently was unfairly dismissed from my job of 7 years. I approached Pearce West solicitors for help in taking my former employers to court. I found Jonathan West, the solicitor who handled my case from start to finish, extremely professional and approachable. I was kept up to speed at all times on the progress of my case, and at every step where there were options, these were discussed in detail with me. I never once felt that I was just another client, but was made to feel that my case was very important to Jonathan and his team. The case was settled to my satisfaction. I highly recommend these chaps for any employment problems, and I would not hesitate to use them again." 19 March 2010 (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl=en&georestrict=input_srcid%3A96032fb3c0ec0168 )
