What clients say about Philomena

“Warm, practical, clear advice, promptly given and repeated to ensure understanding. Would highly recommend SE-Solicitors to anyone needing legal advice.”
Mrs H, Northamptonshire
“This is the first time i have used a service like this so was a bit nervous. I needn’t have been as they were really friendly and talked to me in a language that I understood, explaining all the relevant technical jargon. I would definitely use them again.”
Russell Walsh, Brackley, Northamptonshire
“I would never use any other firm. Staff are excellent, helpful and professional but they also have a sense of humour!”

“Over the festive period a member of my family needed swift and critical employment advice. From the moment I made contact with SE… I felt in safe hands…. Through Philomena’s guidance and thoughtful phrasing it helped my family member see clear options… Having worked with many lawyers I was extremely impressed with Philomena and more importantly she was able to help my family member to get to a point where she could think more clearly and take action.”

On top of that, her humanity and compassion always left me feeling lighter and more positive as I dealt with a difficult situation.”
