“Excellent firm, I have no fault with the way they dealt and handled my case. If I struggled understanding anything, it would be explained and clarified. Would recommend to anyone 100% good at what they do.”
“I have used the services of Toner Legal on two occasions. The service offered to me by Blair Toner was reassuring and with his expertise, guided me through an unfamiliar process ensuring I was involved at each stage. While I was going through my case, he would suggest things that I could read or listen to online that could assist me. His extensive employment law knowledge is a huge resource and it meant I would get the best possible outcome. It also made the navigation of a system far less daunting due to his attention and professionalism. I would have no hesitation in recommending Toner Legal and their services.”
“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.”
“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 have instructed Blair Toner in a wide range of employment matters. Having witnessed Blair in action at the employment tribunal, I have first-hand experience of his abilities and skills. His attention to detail and knowledge of the minutest details of the legislation is most impressive, and is what makes him stand out as one of the best advocates I have instructed.”
