Brilliant, everyone was so friendly and helped a lot. I appreciate their help and want to say a big thank you.
Ceri was friendly and helpful throughout. We had quite a few questions as this is the first time and she was so patient and answered all our questions via email. Thank you Ceri.
Excellent service. I’ve often found solicitors take days and sometimes weeks to respond to calls and emails, but HPJV got back to me immediately every time. Professional service, great advice and did their best to give the best value. All work completed to a high quality, swiftly with no fuss. Thanks
Great experience with hpjv solicitors , thank you Ashleigh Woodward in dealing with my legal matter in such an efficient and professional manner, I would have no hesitation in using your services again or recommending you to friends and acquaintances.
Excellent service. Our case was handled by Daniel and Scott who were always available to answer questions, were very understanding and sympathetic and most importantly did a great job. We had the best result possible and are very grateful. Highly recommend based on my experience.
We wanted to thank you for your very hard work & professionalism managing our very demanding and frustrating times during our legal processes in respect to our house sale/purchase!
The service that was given to me was first class and to the highest of standards. Ben Waters is an amazing Criminal Defence Solicitor and would highly recommend his services.
