Marc managed everything from start to finish. I am so relieved to put the whole ordeal behind me

"I would like to take this opportunity once again to express my profound appreciation for your expertise and professionalism whilst representing me at the HCPC.  You were thorough, knowledgeable  and supportive throughout the process. The case closing with no restrictions to [my] practice exceeded my expectations.  I would highly recommend you to anyone in a similar situation."

"Marc was able to assist me in preparing a response to an HCPC investigation at very short notice. Even out of office hours he would respond quickly which made a very anxious period much easier to deal with. Marc clearly has a lot of experience in dealing with Fitness to Practice issues and his advice was of great value to me. For nurses and paramedics on modest salaries, legal costs can be very difficult to meet. Marc's fee was significantly less than other quotes I had obtained."

"Huge thank you to Marc having recently represented me at a HCPC final hearing. Marc was instrumental in supporting me through the process both in preparing for the hearing and during the process - he was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions whilst also helping to manage my anxieties about the process.

Marc's representation was excellent throughout and due to this we were able to complete the process with the least restrictive sanction and so I am still able to continue working - something I very much believed would not be possible initially.

As has been suggested in an earlier comment Marc is also very affordable in contrast to other legal firms which operate in the area who had quoted almost 2/3 of an annual salary for the hearing!

Marc was instrumental in my own process and would highly recommend him to others who need support!"

"I had been dismissed by the local authority (on grounds I disputed), when I told them that I had been referred to hcpc by the previous work place where I worked as an agency worker. I was feeling extremely low and depressed having been sacked. Unfortunately, the experiences of the three BASW union representatives I had been were so disappointing, I was feeling completely disillusioned. I was really terrified about the hcpc hearing and the way the three BASW rep had misguided and worked against me, I was distrustful of them. The first BASW rep misguided me advising that the case with hcpc did not hold much weight. He maintained until the probationary hearing with the second employer that I would not be sacked as the “local authority had not fulfilled their obligations” and “not followed the process”. In fact, he hadn’t done his work. At the hearing, he sat with his head down and saw me distressed and weep, making no attempt to support me when the service manager was being extremely intimidating. The second BASW rep indicated that it was pointless to appeal as they “would close rank” and the decision would not be reversed. The third BASW rep advised me to accept interim suspension by hcpc because I was not planning on working in the immediate future.
It was at this stage when I was feeling battered and trodden upon that I saw Marc’s webpage. I saw the reviews before considering to take up his services. I was extremely wary before accepting Marc’s support, having been offered such substandard services by BASW. I spoke to Marc on the phone a few times to satisfy myself. I felt that in order to clear my name and to reclaim my professional position that is the only option I had. When I spoke to Marc on the phone and explained my situation, I felt reassured immediately. I felt so relieved having felt that someone was there sharing my burden. Marc immediately grasped the case and understood the complexity of the case and appeared to have a plan of action as to how to progress. There was such optimism and encouragement from him that was simply incredible.
Soon after Marc came on board, he was there for me all the way through; he understood my pain and distress. He advised me what information to collect that would help my case. He was even obtaining information until the morning of the Interim Hearing (this is on another matter).
I had been so traumatised with hcpc and their processes, any correspondence from them raised my anxiety level. It was Marc who supported me and communicated with hcpc on my behalf after obtaining my viewpoint and getting the full context. He advised me to give evidence as I knew what I was taking about and this really boosted my morale. Marc’s advise was clear and precise and he focussed on what had to be brought up at the hearing and how to respond to the allegations.
Marc’s professionalism and his knowledge and skill as to how to progress the case was really encouraging; however, it was only at the final hearing that Marc’s hard work and efficiency became apparent. It was a four-day hearing. The first time, the case had to be adjourned due to some illness of the alleging party. Marc represented me that day; he is so hard working and really concerned for his clients.
The second time, when the case was relisted, Marc represented me on the first day. I attended the second day to give my evidence. Marc was so professional and efficient taking care of the issues that could have had detrimental impact on the case. The different matters were kept separate and those were not brought up at all at the hearing. His submission was so controlled and measured, counteracting and disproving the allegations made against me. I am so pleased to share that after the hearing, hcpc decided to close the case.
I am so blessed that I met Marc. He is so helpful and genuine and wanting the best for his clients. His professionalism, his efficiency and everything about him can be simply marvelled upon. I had lost faith in people having experienced such adversarial situation. Marc has restored my faith in humanity – there are people who are genuinely helpful and life can become so de-stressing when these people like Marc are involved. Marc has been outstanding and brilliant. However much I praise Marc, I feel it is still insufficient, because the way Marc has supported me, it cannot be captured within my words. God bless you Marc. Your input has been excellent."
