Reason for recommending Hill & Twine solicitors I have known them for a considerable amount of years now & have always had a positive outcome I have been given the correct advice to follow I would highly recommend Kevin Hill. There is no room for improvement in my eyes.

fantastic

From the ease of initial contact, to the interview with Kevin Hill & the police interview attended by Sarah Hayes, the professionalism, advice and support from Hill Twine has been fantastic. Thank you. I'm not sure there is anything that can be improved by Hill Twine, but I can only say this from my current experience. As a 'novice' to the legal procedures there are things that I haven't understood such as the time on my extended bail date (that being 8pm) and also whether notices from the police directly to me are also sent to my designated solicitors. Fortunately Sarah Hayes explained much of this to me, but it might be better that the overall legal processes are improved to consider those under investigation and those representing them.

Thank you

The whole process made me feel at ease, and therefore I don't see any bad criticism I can give. I can't thank the team enough for everything they did for me. From the very beginning they were professional, friendly, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Without going into too much detail, I was facing a very serious outcome, but through their hard work and negotiations with the prosecution they secured a result that kept me out of prison, with a community order instead. I genuinely believe their expertise made all the difference. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cares about their clients. I'd say I hope I get to use them again... but hopefully not for the same reason! Thanks again to everyone involved.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Highly skilled and compassionate.

From the moment I had my first consultation with Kevin, I felt informed, supported, and reassured. He took the time to explain everything clearly, managed my expectations realistically, and provided sound legal advice throughout. Not only did he demonstrate exceptional legal knowledge and experience, but he also listened carefully, took the time to understand my circumstances, and considered how different outcomes would affect me personally. I was extremely anxious in the lead-up to my second voluntary police interview. However, after my consultation with Kevin, I felt significantly more confident, prepared, and calm. At the police station, I was represented by Gavin Smith, who can only be described as outstanding. He was confident, approachable, and reassuring, and his professional background made him the ideal person to have by my side during the interview process. He was meticulous in our pre-interview preparation, ensured I understood every stage of the process, and worked hard to make me feel comfortable, composed, and ready for what lay ahead. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of Hill Twine, I achieved the best possible outcome in my case. Just as importantly, the journey to that outcome was far less stressful than it could have been because of the way they handled both the matter itself and me as a client. Throughout the process, they were professional, respectful, compassionate, and thorough. I am incredibly grateful that Hill Twine took over my case from the duty solicitor originally assigned to me by another firm. The difference in the level of service, communication, and support was remarkable. I would not hesitate to recommend Hill Twine to anyone seeking expert legal representation and genuine client care.
