“I was and still am amazed with a phone call from Mr Blair Toner and all the advice he gave me, after listening patiently to my circumstances. And all that, before I made any commitment to their services. He clarified all my doubts, pointed me in the right direction and the minimum I can do, is recommend their services immensely. This experience, made my day. Thank you!”
“When looking to expand, understanding the difference between employees, workers & contractors etc was a challenge. Despite our own best efforts, getting decent contracts in place for new staff was far from straightforward. Toner Legal took care of this issue and will continue to provide all our legal support in the future.”
“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.”
“Blair is a great Barrister that supported me to win a very difficult case that I had previously spent thousands of pounds with a solicitor before l contacted him directly. He went beyond the required duties to even support me in sourcing funding from external sources to enable me pay for the court fees. His own fees were so reasonable and l wished l met him at the beginning of this case which should have saved me a lot of money. I really recommend his service to anyone as he is very good and will also be real with you”
“An exceptional Barrister I would highly recommend. Great communication throughout the whole journey. Clear and concise at every stage of the process”
