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.

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.

Patient, impartial and highly effective mediator

Ben mediated a difficult and entrenched commercial dispute that I genuinely doubted could be resolved. He was patient, impartial and understanding of both sides’ perspectives, while remaining firmly focused on finding a workable solution. He was also flexible enough to continue beyond the scheduled time when he saw that an agreement was within reach. His skilful approach ultimately helped the parties achieve a signed settlement, avoiding the cost, uncertainty and disruption of litigation. I would recommend him without hesitation.

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.
