Renewing my will

This review is for a different branch.

It was something I knew I should do but had put off for some time. The solicitor made the whole experience much less stressful than I expected. She listened carefully to what I wanted, made helpful suggestions and completed the work quickly and efficiently.

Extremely helpful

This review is for a different branch.

During a rather lengthy period of time to sell my father's bungalow which was due to me having to withdraw the sale as my father passed away and then waiting for Grant of Probate Jan was really helpful in assisting us to come to a successful conclusion.There were some frustrating times with other parties but Jan steered us through them.

Conveyancing service

This review is for a different branch.

As POA for my relative - I had to sell her property to fund her ongoing care.
Jan Hollands managed the whole conveyancing process. I have been so impressed with her performance for the entire period and the descriptions I have indicated below are a reflection of her abilities. She has been so supportive throughout this rather stressful time for which I am really grateful.

I cannot praise too highly the professional help and guidance that I have received from Hart Reade Solicitors over many years - in particular Laura Mitchell who handled, always sensitively and efficiently, legal matters relating to my late husband's Estate and also the updating of Wills.

My divorce was managed by Guy Brown and his team at Hart Reade. I felt extremely well-represented throughout the divorce process, was always confident in his expertise and knowledge, appreciated his friendly manner, and have always felt I was treated with the utmost respect and humility. I would whole-heartedly recommend both Hart Reade, and Guy Brown.
