Divorce

The good - knowledgeable and guided me through an area I knew nothing about. Professional in their approach. The solicitor and their secretary was very helpful and had a very friendly nature about them. The whole procedure was done in the time frame set out at the beginning. The Bad - I had to chase things up, this is annoying when you are paying a lot of money for the service. One of my payments went missing and I was getting emails wanting money from me, even though I emailed the solicitor and they said it was sorted, it wasn't and I kept getting emails asking for money that I didn't owe. It did eventually get sorted.

Helen Parkin was brilliant. I highly recommend her as a family solicitor. I went through a severe custody battle against a sociopath. Thankfully justice prevailed & we both started a new life.

Solid and professional support

I was leaving an employer and Ben at Hewitts was quick, professional and supportive as I needed. I have now asked for Ben’s services a couple of times and he has been very helpful on both occasions. I’d recommend Ben and Hewitts for anyone who needs assistance and support.

My Late Wifes Estate

Hewitt's are very easy to deal with and everything was explained in great detail. Drawing up a new will, probate and enduring power of attorney. The solicitor was so very kind during what was a very difficult time for the family. Very professional in every respect and was kept fully informed during the whole process.

We were delighted with Karen and her team when doing conveyancing work for us. They were very professional and efficient in aiding a seamless conclusion and giving good advice too. Thoroughly recommend them.

Extremely slow and stressful when moving house Hewitts didn't help matters in the slightest. I would recommend you go elsewhere for your conveyancing needs.

Can’t speak highly enough of Hewitts Solicitors. Danielle and her team, Jasmine and Kate, were excellent from start to finish. Always kept us in the loop, easy to get hold of when we needed them, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. They’re clearly very knowledgeable but also approachable and down to earth, which made a big difference during what can be a stressful process. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally, and you could tell they genuinely cared about getting things over the line properly. All in all, a great service and we’d have no hesitation recommending Danielle, Jasmine, Kate and the team at Hewitts.
