From the initial telephone conversation ranging an appointment to finalising our wills, the process was seamless and quick. Hollie explained fully to us how the process would happen and what additional things we would need to avoid any issues in the future. Hollie was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional and we certainly felt that we were in safe hands.

I deal with many solicitors as part of my job, often you will send an email, leave a message, sometimes we even have to revert to sending notes via a pigeon to get a response but not with Danielle, Kate and Jasmin they always reply in a prompt manner, this exceptional service enables to update my clients more efficiently and ensures a father smoother transaction takes place.
I really cant emphasize the difference these three ladies make to the house buying process in some 20 plus transactions I've not had any negative feedback from my clients.
I do feel HR should be scheduling a meeting to discuss pay !
Many Thanks

Great experience when buying my house earlier this year! Danielle was the conveyancing socilitor handling the legals and she was amazing. Made the process less stressful and would take the time to explain the process and reassure us as 1st time buyers. The price was very fair and there were no unexpected fees.
Massive thanks from Jamie and Nathan x

We used Hewitts conveyancing services for both our house sale and purchase. Our solicitor Danielle Sullivan was absolutely fantastic throughout. Despite Danielle and her secretary Jasmin Dolan being exceptionally busy, and working in the middle of a pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, they always had time to answer any questions we had, and gave us regular updates, providing professional advice and reassurance through what is a very stressful time. Highly recommend 🌟

awful! A serious lack of communication to keep their customer up to date and you as the customer have to continuously chase for them and still never got a response Would strongly not recommend in any way, use a different firm research first

We are an expert in this field Many people are reluctant to speak to solicitors for a number of reasons but unnecessary delays can make the situation worse. As part of Hewitts commitment to our clients, we offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your problem and explain where you stand. If we believe legal proceedings are not in your best interests we will advise you not to go ahead. If you have a case, and wish to proceed, we will give you a clear quote of the cost. And if your case is eligible for legal aid you can leave the arrangements to us.
