"Within a month of my case being heard in court my solicitor was due to leave but I was fully involved in the handover. My new solicitor, Ewan Stafford was chosen as he had in depth knowledge in my field and I could never thank him enough for the work he put into getting not only up to speed but also understanding every aspect of a very complicated case which had over 700 court papers. During my 8 days in court I worked closely with Ewan and felt extremely confident that he was covering everything that I wanted him to. He considered all my questions and thoughts and reflected this in his questioning of both my witnesses and those presented by my ex-employer. I successfully won my case and I put a lot of that down to how it was handled in court. I came away at the end of the 8 days completely satisfied that we had done everything possible to put across the case clearly and concisely. I was awarded the maximum payout which I was thrilled about. I could not have asked for better representation and I would highly recommend both Ewan Stafford and Harper Macleod".
