Pleased as.......

Being totally unaware of solicitors actions and deeds we approached this firm. From day one it was easy, explanations of our requirements in law/financially all laid out to us in layman's terms and any odd questions were dealt with. This firm has served my son and my interests very well and I would recommend them in a heart beat.

Very poor communication and guidance.

I highly recommend Askews Solicitors Limited to anyone in a similar situation. As a first-time buyer, part of my deposit came from Sri Lanka as a gift from my parents, which made the process more complex. Initially, I worked with Hewitts Solicitors, Emma Haworth, but unfortunately, we faced several challenges due to a lack of clear guidance on the documentation required and very poor communication. Previous buyer a an Indian Doctor who was trying to buy the same house with the same firm and the same solicitor faced the same scenario according to the seller of my property. Clearly there is some issues looking at it. Looking back, had we instructed Askews Solicitors from the beginning, I am confident the transaction would have completed in under three months. Instead, we lost valuable time with Hewitts law firm. In summary if the source of funds are from Asia based countries DO NOT GO AHEAD WITH HEWITTS.

Brilliant solicitor hewits

Unfortunately this time round I wasn't able to secure my daughter back in my full time care but my solicitor Beth gannaway was amazing she was straight forward with me and cared. I really appreciate all the help and all the point she got across for me the statements she wrote and all the things she secured in place for me. I was lucky she was my solicitor. Thank you for your help

I had an excellent experience with Hewitts Solicitors in Bishop Auckland. The team was professional, supportive, and kept everything clear and straightforward from start to finish. A special thank you to Jasmine, who was incredibly helpful, approachable, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. She really went above and beyond to make the whole process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Hewitts to anyone looking for reliable and friendly legal support.

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.

Hewitts solicitors seem very good. I booked a call online but no one contacted me. I had to ring them to get things moving. At this point I was told the solicitor the online system recommended was actually on leave. My recommendation would be to ring or call in to get things started. Once the process started it ran smoothly and they seem efficient. Overall I would recommend them and would probably use them again.

Excellent Solicitors

I was supported by Sophie Lamont at Hewitts concerning a family court matter and dispute with my ex partner. I was pleased and very happy with the support and advice given and indeed the outcome as a result. I would definitely recommend this solicitors and would happily use them for advice and support again in the future if necessary. Sophie and her assistant, Laura, were both professional, approachable, supportive and understanding of my matter. Can't thank them enough!

Excellent Service – Made My Home Purchase Stress-Free

I had an excellent experience with my solicitor throughout the purchase of my first home. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and always kept me informed at every stage of the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but they made everything smooth and straightforward. They were quick to respond to any questions, explained everything clearly, and ensured all paperwork and legal matters were handled promptly and accurately. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to complete my home purchase with confidence and peace of mind. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor. Thank you for helping me achieve such an important milestone in my life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

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.

Danielle and Jasmin were excellent and provided great advice and guidance. A special thank you to the fantastic Reception team of Susan and Tina. They were like 2 fog lights, penetrating through the thick, grey mists of conveyancing and guiding me, safely onwards .
