About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Brilliant adaptation for a neurodivergent first-time buyer!
They provided excellent, timely and consistent communication throughout, between both me and my partner. After sharing that I am neurodivergent and require clear and concise information in layman's terms, our team did an amazing job at adapting their communication to breakdown complex steps clearly,

I was executor to my late Mother's estate and based upon previous experience with Hewitts, I decided to use them again and that was an excellent decision. Stephanie and Danielle were extremely professional, always accessible and very helpful throughout the time that they were dealing with my case. Its impossible not to be happy with the service that they gave me and I take this opportunity to thank them both for making a difficult time, slightly more easier for me.

Brilliant adaptation for a neurodivergent first-time buyer!
We recently used this firm to buy a new build as first time buyers. The process felt incredibly overwhelming and we initially struggled with the heavy use of legal jargon but our direct solicitors Kelly and Jannine were great. They provided excellent, timely and consistent communication throughout, between both me and my partner. After sharing that I am neurodivergent and require clear and concise information in layman's terms, our team did an amazing job at adapting their communication to breakdown complex steps clearly, all while keeping a friendly and approachable tone. We are very grateful to our specific solicitors and highly recommend our specific legal team for their empathy and communication!
