I had an amazing experience with Toner Legal. Blair and L’wren have been a star helping and explaining everything in details. Thank you for the great work.
“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.”
“Mr Toner provided me with an outstanding service throughout my long and difficult case. Always available to communicate with, he never ceased to amaze me with not only his extensive legal knowledge but also his patience/ ability to translate it into easily understandable English. To quote the opposing Barrister at the opening of my cross examination she described our Witness Statement as ‘forensic’ – needless to say we had a very successful outcome. If I had to sum up Mr Toner’s service in just one word – Outstanding – would be the only word I would need. I always felt he was at least one step ahead of the opposition and in the end that proved to be the case. Thank you Mr Toner.”
“Highly recommend Blair Toner to anyone needing employment legal advice. Blair dealt with my case professionally, promptly and with a human approach. He was on the ball with my case, always kept me up to date as things progressed, and made sure I always understood what my options were, I was given all the information and guidance needed, which made the whole process a lot smoother. An extremely reliable and dedicated service, thank you again Blair!”
“I’m a 29 year old female who had never needed a lawyer before, so I was totally out of my depth! Blair was amazing – he answered every call and email immediately, he explained everything in terms I could understand, and he made me feel calm and at ease during a stressful time. I was really happy with the outcome and I’d definitely recommend him to everyone.”
