“Earlier this year I had a situation where my ex employer refused to pay what was owed after leaving the employment. The sum owed was in the region of £5000 and I was recommended Blair Toner. From the very first introduction and conversation of the problem, Blair guided me through the process of ‘Small Claims’ and linked me with the necessary forms etc. After winning judgement, still no payment happened. Blair then guided me through the process of appointing Court Baliffs and that resulted in the debt being paid in full. I personally would recommend Toner Legal and in fact Blair has since sorted a similar problem my son had experienced to my son’s total satisfaction.”
“Blair Toner is an outstanding employment law resource. I have instructed him in every type of employment tribunal hearing and am always impressed by his level of preparation and service offered.”
“I can honestly give Toner Legal a 5 star review and would highly recommend to anyone who has any employment issues. I wasn’t even sure I had a case and the advice and reassurance I was given was amazing. Blair is an amazing lawyer and will give you honest and informative advice. I ended up with a settlement better than I could’ve ever thought possible and keep the number saved incase there is anything I ever need legal advice and representation with in the future.”
“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”
“Blair represented us in an Employment Tribunal claim from start to finish, including acting as our Advocate at the Trial. At all times Blair was extremely reassuring and professional in guiding us through the process and ensuring that we presented our strongest case. It was great to work with him and he represented us excellently.”
