I received a notice of retrenchment on the 18th of May with the consultation scheduled for the 23rd of May. My former employer had retrenched over 20 people in the last year and they all received one consultation in which they were given ”a voluntary agreement” and 1 month’s notice starting from the day of the consultation. Considering this fact, I knew that a similar fate awaited me and that May would be my last month. Having 3 young children, I was filled with the fear of sudden unemployment. I started searching the net for labour law attorneys. I had not heard of Allardyce before and I believe God led me to Leigh. After my first consultation with Leigh, I gained confidence and had faith that she was capable of assisting me and she did! My employer was forced to conduct a procedurally fair retrenchment and Leigh negotiated a very fair package for me.”

Thank you, Leigh, for your help, support, and guidance through one of my life’s most difficult and challenging times. Your commitment, expertise, hard work, encouragement, and honesty shine bright and true against a world of people and companies that are quick to say one thing and then choose not to deliver on what they promised they would. I fully recommend you and your team to anyone facing difficulty with their employer, to anyone needing a fantastic lawyer in their corner. I am sad about the circumstances leading to our meeting, but forever grateful to have had you on my side.

To all the staff that were part of this whole issue we wish to express our sincere thanks for everything you did in a professional manner. We have to single out Leigh who was the captain of this ship who took us through many physical and mental storms and brought us safe to shore. Thank you Leigh for believing in us.
