Irish family owned business, 2023

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emma Farrell on a recent legal matter, and I can confidently say that the experience exceeded all my expectations. From start to present, Emma demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that left me feeling reassured and supported throughout the entire process. Communication and Compassion was a standout aspect of working with Emma. She was/is responsive, promptly returning emails and phone calls, and keeping me informed of any updates or developments in my case. This open and transparent communication instilled a sense of trust, and I always felt well-informed and in control. Emma has a genuine and sincere concern for my well-being. It was evident that she was not merely handling my case, but rather, she genuinely cared about my well-being. This level of empathy I would imagine is rare in this profession. She was tough when she needed to be tough and kind when needed, to help me through the case I have. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough. If you are in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly suggest reaching out to Emma. Emma was recommended to me by a mediator and I am so grateful they introduced me to her.

Redundancy can be an unsettling and daunting event but the care I received from Emma and Helen in PJF was first class. My options and entitlements were laid out in a clear and concise manner and the team were available at any time for questions that I had. They even managed to correct my employer on a tax calculation which benefitted me financially. Excellent team.
