SHOCKING. WILL BE REPORTING TO SLCC OR LAW SOCIETY. DO NOT USE .

Jonathan was really very helpful and incredibly responsive. I would recommend to anyone.
Thanks again for the assistance.

I am giving one Star because it doesn't allow me to give None. People contact an employment law solicitor when many are at a very low and emotional point in their life having lost their employment. They need help. The warning sign should have been just how quickly an invoice was forwarded. But it did have a disclaimer on it saying that work would not be carried out until after the 14 day legal cooling off period. For this reason alone I paid £2400.00
Before the 14 days Acas contacted me so I called Johnathan to ask for my refund and that I would contact him again after my discussion with Acas. To my horror he said that he had carried out over £1400 worth of work in carrying out Anti money laundering and identification checks. He had also written a letter, (I have never seen sight of it) to my ex-employee. I have complained to the Legal Ombudsman - case F208584 but this will take years.
PLEASE - avoid Frederick Solicitors like the Plague. Please note, having read the reply from Frederick Solicitors I state as FACT that no waiver was signed and the reply from Frederick Solicitors is incorrect and a fantasy drempt up as damage limitation.... whilst my complaint will be upheld unfortunately taking a claim to the Legal Ombudsman is a very slow process.

I rang Frederick Solicitors to help me with an employment claim.
Everything was explained to me in a way that I could understand. I was kept informed all the way through the process.

I would highly recommend anyone to use Fredrick Solicitors.

I instructed this sole trader law firm on December 2023. On the phone he advised me that it was on "no win no fee", when he sent me the agreement he requested £600 so called fixed fee. About three months later he requested £840 for a two hour hearing, saying that was not covered in the fixed fee. About four months later, he requested £1500+ vat for a hearing which didn't exist, when I asked him to send me paperwork from Employment Tribunal, he replied that it was a confusion, and it was a mistake. In April 2024,he sent me quotations from four different barristers, the cheapest one was £14,000, so it became apparent that he was not willing to settle the case without the need to go to the final hearings which would last for 7 days. I consulted another Employment specialist fim and was advised that The case was not worth more than £10,000 and that it was a big risk to pay a barrister £14,000, and he asked £80,000 initially, second time, £50,000,third time £40,000, he was acting out only for his own interest. His intentions were to take the case straight to the final hearings. I didn't have £14,000 to pay the Barrister, and I had to withdraw from the agreement, he settled the case for £9.5000, he kept the money, besides he sent me a bill for £17,0000 for breach of agreement. I strongly believe that he plays the same tactics with everyone. My advice to you, is to stay well away from this Sole Trader Law Firm, do not even contact him for advice.

My experience with this firm, and with Jonathan Frederick in particular, was extremely poor. I was charged more than £12,000 for a case that barely progressed, never reached a hearing, and ultimately had to be taken forward by myself after ending the retainer. The majority of the bill came from charges for reading emails — even when those emails received no reply and did absolutely nothing to advance my case.

I repeatedly felt unsupported and left in the dark. When I asked for a proper meeting to discuss my situation, I was refused, yet I continued to be billed for every small piece of correspondence. The service felt transactional, impersonal, and focused far more on billing than on actually helping me.

Looking back, the fees were totally disproportionate to the work delivered, and the value I received was extremely poor. I would strongly advise others to think very carefully before instructing this firm based on my experience.

Dear Trustpilot and Fredrick Solicitors I do not want this review removed. This was a true experience I had with this company. I am happy to shared further is required .

Wish there was a choice of ‘Zero’, I would’ve given them a zero rating. Very unprofessional and rude attitude.
They did not wanted to take my case on ‘No Win No Fee’ basis and for that reason they acted like they were representing my Employer.
When I asked them to listen to what I say that why my dismissal was unfair then their representative said, “we will represent you but not on NWNF.” I said, no thanks I don’t want you to represent me even for free.
My advice to others is, “AVOIDE THIS LAW FIRM!”

Very clear explanation around what I could expect & what is normal during work grievances. Was even kind enough to send it in writing so I can refer to it later.

Brilliant customer service put my mind at ease straight away and reassured me that I can phone back at any time

From my initial conversation to the settlement of my case, Jonathan was not only extremely professional but very friendly which made my experience the best it could be in a difficult time of my life. My case was a challenging one, with no settlement in sight. Despite my limited knowledge on Employment Law and how to take a case to court, Jonathan took care great care to explain everything I needed to do and prepare all my paperwork for Tribunal. He also continued attempts at negotiation, whilst providing reassurance which was very welcome. Jonathan always got back to my emails promptly and took the time to have phone calls when we needed to discuss things in more detail. He very kindly took on my case as a no win no fee which was the only way I could afford to pursue the case. Just before the case was to go to court, he managed to settle my case at a figure above what I had hoped going in which was a huge relief. Had it not been for his hard work, professional manner and kindness, I would not have been able to find closure. I would absolutely recommend his services, and I hope for anyone reading this review to consider at least reaching out. Prior to Frederick Solicitors, I had dealt with a few other solicitors and I can say for certain his service was the best.

Received first class advice from Johnathan today with regards to potential employment claims And free of charge, to the extent that if I decided to pursue my claims, Frederick Solicitors will be my number 1 preferred legal firm to represent me.

Excellent advice given free of charge. I know who to peruse should I need help in the future with a matter. Would highly recommend. Kind and approachable manner.

While my call with Johnathon was initial advice today, he has given me advice and information that gives me what I need to start to resolve my situation. His guidance was provided in a reassuring and friendly way, and reminds me that I do have rights within my employment, and clarity around my situation and the reality of it.
Should I need further support and help I will be back, confident that he will be able ton support further.
Thank you.
