- ‘Selene Holden handled my unfair dismissal and discrimination case. Ultimately, her assessment that the case was valid and worth pursuing was correct. This was despite downbeat assessments by two barristers. She was extremely busy so work was typically done to deadlines, but she was good about helping me stay informed and manage my anxiety. She always seemed very smart, proactive and aggressive, making sure we didn't miss a trick. We ended up with a settlement in line with the initial best case estimate.'
