We found the whole experience of setting up a Power of Attorney to be straight forward due in no small part to the input of Ms Wilson. She was conscientious and guided us through the procedure excellently.

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!
