Caro was a wealth of knowledge and support when I needed help. I would recommend Black Door Law to anyone finding themselves in a employment situation that requires intervention

Kris9 months ago

I was in a really tough spot with a former employer and nearly gave up on getting what I was owed. They were making things up to withhold my final pay (9 years of annual leave + 21k unpaid holiday entitlements) and by the time I came to Black Door Law I was utterly defeated. Scott gave me honest clear advice right from the start that helped me understand my legal rights. He knew I was cost-conscious and didn’t try to drag things out for more fees. In fact he pointed out that the other side’s behaviour suggested that this might drag on aka this might cost a bomb and I really appreciate that level of honesty and ingregrity. He gave me practical tips, helped me see the bigger picture and even suggested when it was smarter to deal directly with the other side. Because of that advice I got my money. Without it I probably would’ve given up and been steamrolled or clocked up thousands in legal fees. Highly recommend if you're dealing with a messy employment situation and want high quality legal advice and not just another bill. A++
