Our Team
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.
The service was first class and to the highest possible standard all the team did a top job and I am satisfied that I got the best result possible.
I have nothing but praise for the way Mr Paul Philpott conducted the sentence for me in court, he was thorough and clear with his words in my defence.
Nothing is too much trouble. It’s the 2nd time I have used this solicitor. Both times they were open, honest, professional, fantastic at answering queries and helping with explaining everything. I was lost with the legal jargon but my solicitor always made it easy to understand. I 100% recommend hpjv and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.li>
Excellent… from telephone conversation with Daniel H and legal representation from Jemma G at Police station, both were professional & approachable.
