After worrying to the point of becoming unwell with stress and many sleepless nights, a friend of mine put me in touch with a lawyer called Saimah. Saimah immediately put my mind at rest. She patiently listened to me, then calmly talked me through all my options and told me about the services and support she could offer me, in regards to the problems I was having with my landlord and the property I live in. She was very professional and had a lot of knowledge on the problems I was having and she also had a genuine kindness about her.

“I just want to take the time to thank Saimah at Goodwyn Herrera Solicitors for all her support during my struggle with Barts’ Health NHS Trust. The moment I discussed the problem with her over the phone, Saimah has never left it or leave me hopeless. I don’t think no other firm would be so helpful, supportive and patient, during this pandemic. Besides, when thinking of the stressful situation I was going through when I was maliciously dismissed from work in March 2020.
