Our Team
We have used this company’s service of 6 occasions over a number of years and have always been impressed with all aspects of our dealings. The staff are particularly personable and offer the best of advice
It was a pleasure to deal with Ella - she was generally available and would reply to calls/emails promptly. Thank you for your time and excellent client service.
First of all I would like to thank you for everything you done for me. You have been there every time I needed you and have not let me down once, I am truly grateful for that. Thank you so much.
Very clear communication, very friendly on the phone and in person. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who requires this service in any format. I personally have nothing but praise and thanks for the both solicitors I have spoken to. Both Solicitors were very friendly, and I was at ease with meeting my solicitor at police station.
Fantastic service, if felt that Jemma was totally committed to my case from our very first meeting and I'm sure that it was this commitment allied to her great knowledge and understanding of the legal system that led to my acquittal. I have never been to court before, and Jemma's expert and patient explanation of the law and the court process was first class.
Thanks again for all your help, you and Alice have been amazing. Best solicitor experience ever, we just wished the rest of the chain was like you guys.
Always been the best and has best reputation especially Ben. Always been brilliant and everybody I know uses hpjv says the same.
