Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Fiona Martin is a star. A very special mention to her on cases involving mental health and disability issues. Her style is very direct, she has no time to waste, but behind this there is immense compassion and a personal conviction that the client's right must be vindicated even when the opposition is fierce. Laura Donnelly has a completely different style, she is a Swiss watchmaker, placing each element exactly. But like Fiona, blind alleys are closed promptly, the strategy is clear. And again, you feel an immense kindness, an understanding that behind the case there is an individual.'
- 'My principal contact was Christine Gannon. My case involved claims of discrimination and was extremely stressful. Christine guided me with compassion through an acutely difficult process. I will always be grateful for her honesty, kindness and legal ability.'
