Being made redundant is never a good time for anybody, but V E White & Co. can reduce the stress involved and get the best possible outcome for our clients with our diligent approach.

Our employment team are understanding to each individual situation and will ensure that all parties receive what they are entitled to, whilst offering any help and assistance required by the client at all stages of their matter.

    More Testimonials +

    Fikriye was my representing Solictor whilst I divorced my now ex-wife. She has been wonderful. Very professional, clear on her instruction and extremely supportive especially when my ex-wife Solictor was being extremely difficult.

    Fikriye not only secured the divorce but above that she arranged for the children to live with me full time and secure me the settlement I was comfortable with.

    I hold Fikriye in the up most regard and truly appreciate all her hard word she has done.

    I would also like to say this is the second time I have used Fikriye as my solicitor as I have had her help and assistance in work matters. Which she was also very good at.

    I could not recommend Fikriye enough and I will certainly only use her again if the need arises.
