Outstanding service

Nasheela Ali - I am writing to appreciate all of your assistance and patience with me over this whole process! Thank you so much for all your support and professionalism. Finalising the divorce has really given me a bit of peace and happiness because I don’t have to worry about being married to my ex husband anymore.

I have appreciated your and your team�s assistance

Leonie, I just want to say how much I have appreciated your and your team�s assistance throughout the administration and particularly in the pandemic days, when you stepped up and were so proactive in difficult times. I do hope our paths will cross again, perhaps on another estate.

Samantha Lynch was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable during our meeting she gave better advice and more reassurance than my other solicitors had given during my entire court case. Highly recommended and I will contact her again if I need representation in the future.

I cannot recommend Leonie enough

I was looking for a local solicitor to help write my will. I looked at the local Solicitors in Grays, Essex and liked the look of Hattenss, they had good reviews and within walking distance from where I live. I was a bit sceptical because writing a will is not the nicest task in the world. I need not have worried. I was greeted by Leonie Adams on appointment day, and she made me feel at ease immediately. Leonie was excellent, she was helpful, knowledgeable, and guided me through the process with ease and no stress. I cannot recommend Leonie enough; I was always kept up to date with the process and any changes that I had asked for on the draft will were done immediately.

Excellent Legal Support

I want to express my deep appreciation for the excellent legal support provided by Hattens and Ms. Nasheela Ali. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding throughout my case.

Nasheela and the whole family team at Hattens showed unwavering support during the court proceedings. Their guidance and hard work were invaluable, focusing on the best interests and safety of children and families.

The legal process was handled with expertise and finesse. The follow-up is seamless, and the team's readiness to address any issues provided constant reassurance.

A big thank you to Hattens for their exceptional service and dedication to resolving my case. Highly recommended!

The team at Hattens Solicitors are incredibly professional lawyers. I was particularly impressed by the detailed level of support and advice I received from Sam Lynch and would certainly recommend her to anyone needing her services. She was friendly, approachable and was very quick to respond to any queries I had. If you are in need of expert legal advice, you can not go wrong with Hattens.
