Calm, clear and thoroughly professional

For a family matter, Jessie Hansford acted for me, handling the matter with calmness and clarity. When meeting me in person, she listened carefully to what I wanted and respected my instructions. She explained every step in plain terms. Her fees were appropriate and clearly outlined. She took real care to ensure her work would protect me as client in the long term. Lilly and Thomas were equally professional and responsive throughout. I knew I was in good hands from our first meeting and would be very happy to recommend Jessie.

I contacted Gaby Hardwicke to obtain help with a family matter. Giles Robinson, partner, and solicitor in family law, became my solicitor. Throughout ten very long and stressful months, Giles was absolutely outstanding. There was a vast amount of work to be done, but despite this, everything was done on time, and to an excellent and professional standard. I was always given good and thorough answers to my questions, and was supported throughout. Giles got me the result I wanted, for which I will be eternally grateful. I also need to give some praise to Giles's secretary, who did a fantastic job every step of the way, which is yet another reason why this experience has ended up being a positive one. I would give Gaby Hardwicke and Giles my absolute best recommendations, and would not hesitate to use the firm again if I ever need any legal services.

A representative from Gaby Hardwicke responded to this review

We’re delighted that our family law partner Giles Robinson was able to provide the expertise and support you needed during this stressful time. At Gaby Hardwicke Solicitors, we always aim to deliver the highest standard of legal service.

Outstanding service for rural farm purchase

We engaged Jonathan upon recommendation for our rural farm purchase. Jonathan was excellent from the start and always just a phone call away to answer some of our many questions. We had a number of sticking points along the way from mortgage lender difficulties , land title splits and tax advice requirements. Jonathan always knew what the next step should be and had trustworthy contacts to help us. Having a solicitor you can trust and speak to was priceless for us. When he was away we were also taken care of by Joel who was equally as attentive. Thank you!

A representative from Gaby Hardwicke responded to this review

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, Alice. We are delighted to hear that Jonathan was able to support you throughout your rural farm purchase and help navigate the various challenges that arose along the way, from lender requirements and title issues to seeking specialist tax advice. We are lucky to have a specialist in this field. Property transactions of this nature can often be complex, so it is particularly pleasing to know that Jonathan's guidance, accessibility and proactive approach gave you confidence throughout the process. We are also pleased that Joel was able to provide the same level of support while Jonathan was away, ensuring that your matter continued to progress smoothly. Your comments about the importance of having a solicitor you can trust and speak to directly mean a great deal to us, as providing a personal and responsive service is something we strive for across the firm. Thank you again for choosing us to assist with your purchase. We wish you every success and happiness in your new farm venture.

£435 quote when the standard is £120 elsewhere. Check your prices first and definitely shop around!

This matter involved a notarial service handled by one of our Partners and included drafting affidavits from scratch, not simply witnessing pre-prepared documents. Preparing and reviewing bespoke documents requires careful consideration, time, and compliance with strict regulatory obligations, including anti–money laundering requirements. Our service reflects the level of seniority, responsibility, and professional standards we maintain.
