I was referred to Kam Bailey by a good friend and I am so grateful I was, Kam was professional, honest and actually listened, it was so comforting to have someone that I could trust, who was transparent and always had my best interests and outcome in mind. Kam is someone I couldn’t speak highly enough about, when stress, and emotions are so high it took a huge load off me just knowing I had the best person representing me, and I am so grateful for the initial referral, and now I too will be referring / recommending Kam Bailey whenever I can.

After a stressful couple of days racking my brain over what to do after receiving a without-prejudice email from my employer… it took just twenty minutes on the phone with Sandy and I had a draft response email ready to confidently send to my soon-to-be ex boss! she was so happy to help and made the whole process stress free and easy.
