HH Mr Justice Burton, EAT president 2004

• “The Applicant … has handled the appeal before us himself, and has done so with conspicuous perspicacity, skill, patience and courtesy.

LJ Chadwick, Court of Appeal, 2005

• “Mr Melia has conducted his appeal in person, as he did before the Employment Appeal Tribunal. It is right to recognise, as I do, the skill with which he has done so. His written submissions demonstrate a well-researched appreciation of the relevant principles in this area of the law; and his oral submissions -- in a matter in which he is personally involved and in relation to which he is entitled to feel aggrieved -- have been moderate, sharply focused and concise.”

Client A

• “I cannot even begin to thank you for all your effort and help with everything. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know what I would have done, or how I would have coped. You truly are a very kind, humane and sincere person with a real kind heart who looks after people in trouble.”

Client B

• “I don’t know where I would have been if you hadn’t represented me. This is fantastic”

Client C

• “It wasn’t until I spoke to you that things started to turn around... I had no idea of what to do. Thank you for everything”

Client D

• “Damn, you’re good! … The report is amazing … Thank you. For all you have done and for what you continue to do the words do not seem enough.”
