Excellent service

I was very impressed with Chris Hugo and Knocker & Foskett in general with their very professional but personal and friendly service. Processes were clearly explained throughout and time given to reassure my concerns.

Employment Legal Advice

I received excellent legal advice and support from Chris Hugo following redundancy. He was extremely helpful and professional and always easy to contact both by email and telephone for all my advice during the process which concluded in a satisfactory outcome.

Very poor experience

I would strongly advise prospective clients to exercise caution before instructing this firm. In my experience, additional work was carried out without my authorisation, resulting in unexpected costs. When I raised concerns about this, rather than addressing the issues constructively, I received threats of legal action from Chris Hugo, a Partner at the firm. I found this approach to be intimidating, unprofessional, and wholly inappropriate in the context of a solicitor-client relationship. I instructed this firm in good faith and expected transparency, clear communication, and a professional response to legitimate concerns. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Based on my experience, I would not use this firm again and would recommend that anyone seeking professional, client-focused legal representation considers alternative solicitors.
