I have extensive experience in acting for both employee and employer, and therefore have considerable experience in assessing what an employer’s approach to settlement discussions is likely to be, and how to pitch an individual’s case in the right way to make settlement as likely as possible.   Click to read more:>>

“Blair was fantastic with my employment claim with a previous employer, a large Bank. He was very honest, explained the whole procedure throughout, and even though we didn’t meet face to face, he was only a phone call away, he was superb.”

- Karen Lewis

“I came across Toner legal via a Google search online. Sadly I needed their service due to disability discrimination and harassment in the work place. I suffer with anxiety too , however the way Adam conducted himself from start to finish made it less stressful than I initially thought. Although at times I kept email and texting when feeling stressed and confused with how I was being treated by my employer, this was not an issue for Adam. He managed our case and got an excellent settlement.”

“High praise for Blair Toner. It was encouraging to work with him. His personal attention, professionalism and dedication was the key component for a great outcome. He was always available specially with my job being outside office hours,the only time I could communicate with him was late in the evening but guess what he was there for me every time. I highly recommend his services. Thank you for your great service, knowledge, understanding and ability to put yourself in my position. You are great at your job and as a person. God bless you.”
