Employment lawyer recommendation....

All, I'm posting on behalf of my husband who has recently worked with Jo and can't speak highly enough of her services. He recently faced the prospect of redundancy along with some of his colleagues. The situation (isn't it always?) was complicated but Jo made the process as painless and as straight...

Re: **How much do you pay your Filipino nanny?**
