VIEW ALL TESTIMONIALS

I came to the United Kingdom during a very difficult time in my life, trying to stay employed after a long illness. Pacific West Law Firm was extremely helpful, guiding me through the steps necessary to retain my job. They discussed all possible scenarios and took the appropriate legal actions to resolve my workplace issues. I have every confidence in recommending them because of the satisfactory result I received.”

T.I. Breach of Employment Contract (2023)

They were careful not to make promises or set unrealistic expectations. They gave me a professional case review and allowed me to choose my legal representation from the options provided. I chose Curt, and I’m very happy with the outcome. He handled everything from beginning to end—despite a few early glitches, it was a complete success.”
