Exceptional Service

Right from the very first meeting the empathy for my situation and the professional knowledgeable guidance I received put me in no doubt, that I had chosen the right solicitor to help me, Bethany Petterson is a trainee solicitor and a star in the making, I had the first good night’s sleep in weeks after our first meeting. A family issue arose involving my late father’s estate which caused me to seek legal advice it was such a relief to have things explained to me from a legal perspective. Bethany completed all the work on my behalf and the pricing I thought was extremely fair. Throughout the whole matter, I was kept updated to the monetary side of things as well as the legal procedures, which were openly explained to me in such a way that made me feel confident enough to build a bond of trust. Thank you for successfully resolving my ordeal. Hewitts solicitors were recommended to me and I can whole heartedly say I would recommend them without a shadow of doubt.

I was very satisfied with Hewitt's solicitors. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, answering all my queries in a timely fashion. The coats were in line with what I believe other solicitors charge for similar services.

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.

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.

My brother needed the service of a solicitor and was helped by solicitor John Turner. Mr Turner was exceptionally helpful and explained all procedures using plain language and treated my brother with professionalism and courtesy. I would recommend this firm and would definitely use them in the future.

Changed My Will

On our first meeting I explained how I wanted to change my will and I was given help and advice. When coming back at a later date to sign the will I was also able to pay the invoice. Everything was done in two visits.

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.
