I'm really surprised and impressed by the help they gave me. Surprised because they gave a genuine free legal advice within an hour of me sending in my inquiry. They didn't push me into any further arrangements for their services and the information they gave was really useful. So, impressed overall! If I do need further legal help, I'll certainly be reaching out to them again.
After many phone calls to varies companies/bodies to assist with a particular matter, I contacted Castle Associates who, after a brief phone call, give me clarity on the situation and helped me deal with the matter in hand in a confident and professional manner. Without their excellent help I doubt i would have managed to reach the result I have. Thank you so much, your assistance, kindness and sympathetic approach to my problem it was helpful and very much appreciated.
It was a very stressful time at work for me, where I was being victimised. I was absolutely devastated by the whole situation. On speaking to Castle Associates, I was reassured that my case could be dealt with. A very big thank you to Castle Associates, for their expert advice and for putting me in touch with one of their Trade Union Representatives. Trevor supported me through the whole situation and if it was not for his knowledge, expertise and continuous support I could have lost my job and home. Thank you very much Trevor for always being at the end of the phone when I was so worried and loosing my mind. I recommend this service to anyone who finds themselves in same predicament as me.
To give such good advice so quickly and for free can only
be commended.
Awful company, terrible service and no help whatsoever provided.
I managed to get more advice and support from researching online and speaking to my own network.
Even after documenting the lack of work done (despite paying the £300 deposit fee) and writing a formal complaint I wasn’t able to get all my money back.
It honestly seems like a sham of a company that takes advantage of people in vulnerable positions. I would never recommend them or use them again. Don’t waste your money.
Outstanding ! The advice given is excellent.
Castle Associates have given me support and advice at every step of an arduous time with my employer. Their knowledge has helped empower me to turn around what has been the single most difficult time of my working life. All done at very affordable rates.
On point, she only asked me a few questions and she understood my entire case. The advisors was extremely supportive and enabled me to put together a strong defense. The process for receiving the advice was quick efficient and efficient. I'm so pleased I discovered Castle associates. They are the best advisors and advocates going.
Adrian was really helpful and knowledgeable.
Having this facility is an extremely useful and reassuring service. Many people feel very confused about most aspects of law, particularly employment law. Following two sets of advice from Castle Associates, I am reassured and much better informed of my rights and potential outcomes, much more so than relying on my employers HR department (who are often not necessarily looking out for the employee despite protestation).
Thank you very much for your help, and I would recommend to everyone.
I was in a very stressful situation at work, where I was being bullied, harassed and victimised. I was absolutely devastated and emotionally drained by the whole affair. On speaking to Adrian at Castle Associates, he gave me the relevant information needed and the confidence to press on and challenge those involved. I can't thank Castle Associates enough, not just for their expert advice and empathising with my situation, but also for putting me in touch with one of their Trade Union Representatives, Trevor. Trevor supported me through the whole situation and if it was not for his expertise and continuous support I may have lost my job, my sanity and my dignity. I can't thank Trevor enough. I can personally recommend this service to anyone in the same predicament.
Had some really helpful advice from my 15 minute consulation which will help me with the legal issue I currently have
Very helpful 15 minute consultation.
Would be happy to consult again.
Many thanks
I got a call back from them on the same day and it's been very helpful and understanding
Many thanks
What an amazing team. I recently found myself on suspension after a call of mine was monitored by the company i work for. I felt at the time that it was unfair and did acknowledge the mistake straight away. The company decided to proceed to a disciplanry and i was amazed as i had an exemplary record over my 5 years of service. When i contacted Castle Associates for guidance and help they put me through to lynssey who explained straight away what they felt was the issue and advised in a calm and helpful way. Lynssey was brilliant and very much about being honest and upfront. Felt like i had support for the first time since the allegation. I paid the fee and was put intouch with a local trade union rep named Brian Lashley. Brian was instrumental, fantastic and a true professional. He sat me down and reviewed everything. Asked questions, liased with the company on my behalf and took all the worry and pressure away from myself and the family. There isnt enough good words in the english dictionary to describe how brilliant brian was and is. I could not thank him enough. After the hearing i felt that i was unable to remain with the company so i decided to hand in my resignation and the company accepted straight away with a full notice period being paid. The allegatiins to best of my knowledge have been dropped also. I can finish by saying that if anyone reads this review and is in a circumstance were you have been brought to a disciplanry and you feel that its not right then definitly ring Castle Associates. Amazing team and would recommend Brian Lashley to anyone. Thank you to the telephony team and Lynssey also.
from a very horrible 2 years of \ grievances with my work manager and work place of. 10years . I unfortunately was left at a dismissal hearing with no representation or Union member to help me show and explain my i side of the issues involved
It was a lady Called ' Laura who is from the Castle Asscoates Services , The best and most Correct decision Imade that day was indeed asking for support as they were fast Postwe. knowledgable,highly supportive and very professional.
A massive thank you Laura ...you saved the day and felt totally safe and happy to face the dismal with you by my side .
I would say to anyone going through a tough time at work with problems to get on the phone and stop the stress and worry and aprehemsuon involved and dont suffer alone . Get castle associates on board with you and rest assured from me that you will be in the best hands for a a positive outcome .
I am defiantly becoming a Permanent Member.
Many thanks

Not free at all, quite poor response and very long waiting time for replies or any information on first (few) attempted contacts, However, Once I got someone assigned to my case, everything run smoothly, and I was made feel as an important and valued person; it might all have been just that the person allocated to me was AMAZING and therefore the reason why my rating is high, as well as their very fair pricing! Saq was the best person that anyone could wish giving my desperate situation. I can truly say that if it wasn't for him the situation might have got me into a worst Mayor Depression.
Brilliant advice. Gave me fantastic invaluable advice on my situation and I would definitely highly recommend using them.
I only had a 15 minute phone consultation but they were brilliant. I learnt more in that time than I did in days trying to find out myself. If you have a work issue, get advice straight away otherwise you may regret it. Had I needed to take things further I would have used them, without a doubt
