    Excellent service

    Gayle and her colleague Rosie were fantastic to work with. They looked after us very well when they’re in Hereford West Wales and we was in Maidstone in Kent. I would recommend anyone to use them.

    Property Dispute

    We had a long, complicated and very frustrating property dispute that Ben advised on. He was always calm, patient, knowledgable and professional. He was always at the end of a phone or email and his responsiveness was exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to to others.

      It's been a pleasure from the start, having Fenella to deal with matters that I needed sorting out, giving me clear advise at all stages. She's always gone out of her way to keep me in the loop, and does a thorough job at all times. I can only highly recommend :).

      Company & Commercial

      Slow and unhelpful

      I used the Narberth branch for a business purchase, the solicitor was very hard to get hold of by phone and email, taking at least a week to get back to me every time. I gave her a deadline for completion as we had funding that needed to be claimed by that date, and she decided that week was when she wanted to go on holiday even though she had known this deadline all along, and it had to be extended as she missed the first one. She decided that she would do it when she got back. By this time we would have lost all our funding so i insisted that she do it before her holiday. Now i need a solicitor letter to confirm the purchase and she cant even do that apparently. Shocking service, will not be recommending.

      from Hains & Lewis Limited

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we want to fix the issue. Please contact our management team directly.
