I was going through a difficult case for unfair dismissal with my employer, who were colluding against me at every step of the process.
After I went to ACAS and gained the support of Slater and Gordon, in less than 6 weeks the team had prepared all the paperwork, totally understood a very complicated case and resulted in winning the employment tribunal outright. Very supportive, professional and approachable company.
