I contacted Askews for advice on employment law, specifically voluntary redundancy. From first contact to completion of the relevant paperwork took just four working days. Lianne Payne was the epitome of professionalism throughout. If I am ever offered a similar scheme again, I know exactly who to turn to.

Lianne was excellent dealing with my redundancy settlement agreement. She totally supported me and made sure my settlement worked for me. Communication was first class, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly.

I had used Askews about ten years ago for the sale and purchase of properties. They were so efficient, I went back to them for the sale of my mums house. I first of all worked with Carly and Nisheet, both very responsive to queries.I then worked with Jane and Stephen, towards completion of the sale. They were again efficient and got things done when they needed to be. I am keen to stay on top of things myself and they did not disappoint.As I was more than happy with the service, I used Jane and Stephen for the purchase of my house later in the year.
