"I have no hesitation in highly recommending Marcelle to anyone looking for an employment legal representative"
In March 2021 I had an urgent legal employment matter that required exceptional legal representation. I contacted a number of Law firms before MLW Legal was recommended. On contacting MLW Legal, I spoke with Marcelle Webster who accepted me as a client. She went out of her way putting in extra time without charge to ensure, I felt reassured during what was a very testing process at times. Explaining things in a manner that was easy to understand and went through various scenarios, before mediating a very favorable settlement. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Marcelle to anyone looking for an employment legal representative.
