I am Crewe lad born and bred, and proud to be! I studied English Law with French at university which resulted in me working at the European Parliament for a year as an assistant to the local MEP. I wanted to practice law locally and was fortunate enough to secure a training contract in Crewe. My career then progressed from strength to strength and I am now Senior Partner of HSW and specialise in residential property law. Along the way I met the love of my life, Caroline. We have two beautiful daughters who keep us busy! Outside of work, my passion is theatre. My wife and I run a group of singers and dancers called Musical Mayhem and we perform cabarets in partnership with local and national charities to raise money for wonderful causes. I also perform with local amateur groups when I can. I equally love going to the theatre and go as often as my bank balance permits! On the few occasions that I get to relax(!), nothing gives me more pleasure than good food, good wine and time with friends and family.

    First time purchase

    Couldn’t recommend a better solicitor than HSW! Especially Steven Coles, he has been nothing but patient with us, especially me ringing every two days for an update… always positive and always happy to provide updates, if it wasn’t for Steven, Marie and Pav we would never have been kept informed as unfortunately the estate agents we used were shocking. Cant thank them all enough.

    Conveyancing

    We appointed Hall, Smith and Whittingham to deal with selling our late mother's home. Steven Coles was our appointed solicitor, he was truly outstanding. The sale turned out to be a complicated one, Steven went above and beyond to reach completion on our behalf. A mention too for Sarah who was our initial point of contact..super efficient, professional and approachable.. Many thanks to you both, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

    Massive thank you to solicitor Steven Coles at HSW. We completed a Transfer of Equity with him and he was nothing short of brilliant. He made the entire process as painless as possible, answering every question no matter how small and we are really grateful for the time and attention given. Having had a number of property dealings over the years, we have never had such wonderful, speedy service. We certainly won't hesitate to contact HSW again for any future requirements.

    Steven Coles and Sarah Trickett made our mother’s house sale, despite setbacks from time wasting potential buyers, very straightforward and from mine and my sister's perspective very stress free. They are clearly very adept at what they do and that proficiency shone through from day one of our instructions to completion. My sister and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hall Smith Whitingham’s services.
