Testimonials

Dear David,

On behalf of my mum, Ndeye Rokhaya, myself Yacine and Mouhamed, and all our family, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to you for your support and dedication in the case of our late brother and son

This has been a painful journey for us, but thanks to your commitment and persistence, our family has been able to seek justice and ensure that lessons are learned so that no other family has to face such a loss through neglect.

We are truly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and tireless work as you stood by us. This was never about money — but about dignity, truth, and preventing future tragedies.

With heartfelt thanks,

Ndeye Rokhaya, Yacine Mouhamed, and all the family 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you for your successful conduct of litigation of my unfair dismissal case against the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, achieving compensation and a reinstatement order, and defeating the Council’s appeal too. Good job done.

I am happy to recommend your services to my friends and colleagues.
