What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Employees and employers seeking help with workplace disputes form the bulk of the feedback for this Oxford practice. A handful of customers describe Justin Godbolt as approachable, patient and genuinely caring, particularly when guiding people through constructive dismissal concerns and settlement agreements. Reviews regularly refer to that his advice is clear, pragmatic and actionable, allowing cases to progress swiftly and reach satisfactory conclusions. One thing mentioned again and again is the speed of responses and the way clients are kept informed at every stage.

Business owners also feature, with one account of a company purchase handled promptly, while Marty Burn is named for an initial consultation on an unfair dismissal matter that proceeded to a tribunal. The clarity of quotes given before work begins and the reasonableness of fees are noted alongside the professional manner shown from the first telephone call. Attention to detail and the ability to remove stress from difficult situations are recurring themes, and the same solicitor is credited with advising referring clients on company matters as well as workplace issues. The practice also earns praise for its compassionate handling of sensitive matters, leaving people feeling respected and supported throughout.

I thoroughly recommend Justin Godbolt at OELS, who gave me excellent service when I urgently needed it. I needed someone to review a settlement agreement and provide additional advice with a deadline of less than a week. I reached out to several solicitors' firms, emphasising the urgency of my situation; some never responded, some responded after a while, and almost all seemed primarily interested in getting my details for them to invoice me. Justin responded within a couple of hours and started giving me useful advice immediately. He was able to cope with my tight timescale while still making sure I had everything fully explained at all stages and answered all my questions. He even monitored the emails between me and my employer which I copied him in on and, unsolicited, gave me his personal opinion on several points, showing the continued attention and care he gave to my case. I could not have hoped for better service.

I could not be happier with my experience. Justin returned my call right away, guided me through the process and turned around my documents review in 24 hours. He also went through all my questions on a call and was very helpful in explaining all the legal stuff in human and practical terms. I would highly highly recommend this firm and Justin in particular!
