Here are just a few of the significant positive comments and reviews which have been received, and continue to be received on an almost daily basis :

 

  • Philip was the consummate professional, knowledgeable, helpful, conscientious and tenacious. From the outset his calm and reassuring manner helped me immensely. I would recommend Philip & the Landau Law team without hesitation.

 

  • As a returning client of Philip Landau, he has never failed to provide me with an impeccably efficient and friendly guidance through the whole process, explaining all the intricacies and safeguarding my interest. Great experience and highly recommended!

 

  • Philip, I want to thank you for your phone call earlier today. You were kind, attentive and very helpful. Especially considering that you offered that advice for free and it was apparent early in the call that I couldn’t negotiate a settlement. You helped improve my emotional well being, set me forward on a positive path for my future career and helped me action points which allowed me to be more at peace with the situation.

 

  • Philip and his team provided outstanding support to me on a complex case against one of the largest, global financial institutions. Communications throughout were excellent and a very successful outcome was achieved. Philip is a credit to the industry.

 

  • The way you have handled the situation has helped me to restore my faith in the legal profession when I had begun to feel that law and justice weren’t necessarily the same thing. 

 

  • The expertise, empathy and patient understanding of Philip and the team at Landau law was first rate. They explained the nuances of a complex situation in easily understandable layman’s terms, gave balanced and impartial advice and helped me navigate through a potentially stressful situation with care and attention and answered all of my questions promptly and fully. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody.

 

  • Philip and his team provided a first class professional service from start to finish and very good value for money too. I expected sound knowledge of the relevant law and I was not disappointed but he and his team also have excellent, proactive communication skills which are not always there with businesses. 

 

  • I was thinking about the work you and the team put in for me during my exit from *****, and the successful and non-confrontational outcome, the other day. Of course I thanked you at the time but a good 5 years past, it was such a profound and positive change for me personally and professionally. The approach and effort your practice delivered was truly outstanding – I have described it as a masterclass to several contacts. From the off, it was uniquely empathetic, really listening to the client, great attention to detail, patient and accessible; and ultimately a measured non-confrontational mediation of the best possible terms. There is a never a time I won’t be able to thank you enough.
