Highly knowledgeable and professional

We were referred to Sally due to an unexpected issue with a divorce some 27 years ago. This understandably caused us concern to receive such issue 27 years later. Sally immediately set us at ease. She explained everything calmly and provided much reassurance from the outset. Everything was dealt with in a professional and prompt manner. No question felt an issue. Our case was completed within the timeframe and estimate discussed. If we needed these services again we would not hesitate to call Sally and her team. Thank you so much for making a difficult time so much more pleasant than it could have been.

Profit Orientated company with slow/incapable solicitors

I spent £6500 for an easy divorce case and they weren't able to finish the job at all. Their hourly rate is lower than market but they are slower and has incapable solicitors ( at least my solicitor was) which doesn't help hourly charge. Their solicitor checked unsigned legal documents from other party and charged me twice once signed copy received. This must be simple number 1 rule that all legal documents must be signed before taking any action, You don't need to study law for years to learn such a fundamental rule. This is very much profit orientated law company, I would suggest anyone to avoid working with such a law firm at all costs, Go and find doubled hourly rate firm, I guarantee you they will finish your case at lower cost and quicker.

Divorce Proceedings

During what was without doubt the most difficult time of my life Gweni and her team provided a first class service in every aspect. Her knowledge, professionalism, advice and tenacity to stand up to the other sides demands was exemplary. At every step, Gweni was clear in her communication, strong willed but also empathetic when the stress of the process was a lot to deal with. I will always be grateful for Gweni’s (and her team’s) drive to ensure a positive outcome in the proceedings. A credit to her company and her profession.

Helping me with a Divorce

HRC Law was recommended to me by a family friend, in relation to a divorce. Sally and her team explained clearly, from the outset, when the process was and how much it would cost. They were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Divorce is difficult, so knowing that Sally was there to help, made a big difference.

Exemplary service

Fate led me to Gweni in HCRLaw and I am so grateful that I had Gweni supporting and guiding me through the complex legal systems. When a court order was placed on myself and the children, it syddenly felt like a scary situation. However, Gweni's rapid response and the recruitment of Counsel to represent me in such a short time frame got me through each hearing.This resulted in the best outcome I could have hoped for on behalf of the children's best interests. Throughout the whole process I was approached with kindness and advised clearly on next steps, potential issues and solutions. As aforementioned it was a complex case and I felt reassured the entire time. I will be forever thankful to Gweni and Daisy.

I can’t thank James Osbourne and Lauren Powell-Bateson enough for the support they have given me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication have been truly outstanding from start to finish. They guided me through every step with clear advice, patience, and genuine care, always making me feel supported and understood. Having solicitors who are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind and approachable made such a difference during a very challenging time. If you are looking for a family law solicitor, I would highly recommend James Osbourne and Lauren Powell-Bateson. They have been absolutely fantastic.

I was so impressed with HCR Law and could not have asked for better representation over the course of my divorce. Anita provided great clarity and reassurance in meetings and emails, she was also so professional and assertive in the family court. HCR succeeded in getting me the outcome I wanted.

I was represented by Fiona during family court proceedings for a specific issue and I could not recommend her enough, Fiona is very direct but also respectful and dedicated to her clients and work. She made the experience less stressful than i imagined. I would recommend Fiona to anyone! I hope we do not need to work together again in the nicest possible way as court is never nice for anyone, but if this was the case ever again I would be contacting Fiona! Thank you! X

Seamless Closing of Flat Sale

I had used HCR in the purchase of my flat, so I naturally reached out for the sale of the flat. My original solicitor had changed roles and introduced me to Laura. You wouldn't have known that she did do the purchase! She had the file and was on top of the issues right away. I think HCR has the balance right in terms of efficiency and partner time. The automation of some aspects is a great help in keeping the costs down, but also in keeping attention on the issues and not the process. Laura was very friendly, accessible and communicative. She solved all the issues with ease. I would highly recommend HCR and Laura to anybody.

Flawless Experience 5*

Laura has been amazing to work with on several matters. Sadly my Mum was diagnosed with incurable cancer and died after a very short illness. Time pressures were high as Mum’s house, our family home for 55yrs, was not registered with Land Registry. Laura’s team expedited this with HMLR and this meant Mum’s Will could be completed in time. Laura also dealt with the conveyancing on the probate sale - and handled a rather tricky buyer’s (cheap online) conveyancer professionally and patiently. Laura was instrumental in driving our agent to reach exchange and completion - when at times we considered pulling out of the sale and delisting. Overall her empathy, care, candid communication and ability to raise a smile, made all the difference. During tough times kindness is invaluable - and Laura is truly kind. I would never consider working with anyone else on a sale or a purchase. I have also recommended Laura to three other buyers - all have been equally impressed with her service and advice. Brilliant. Thank you Laura 🙏

14 day completion!

We cannot recommend Emily Allen and the team at HCR Law highly enough. From instructing them to completing on our new home, the whole process took exactly 14 days, which was an incredible turnaround. What made it even more impressive was the amount of pressure and tight deadlines involved towards completion. Despite a few last minute complications outside of their control, Emily remained incredibly responsive, proactive and reassuring throughout. Buying a house can be stressful at the best of times, but having someone who is on top of everything, communicates clearly and genuinely seems to care makes such a huge difference. Emily was professional, efficient and incredibly knowledgeable, and we always felt that things were being dealt with promptly and thoroughly. Completing in exactly 14 days from instruction is something we honestly did not expect when we started the process, and we are hugely grateful to Emily for helping make it happen. If you are looking for a solicitor for a house purchase, we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Emily Allen and HCR Law. Fantastic service from start to finish.

Used Sarah Loveridge for the sale and purchase of property. She was a consummate professional throughout, despite having to deal with some less that competent solicitors in the chain. Can't recommend her highly enough. She also dealt with the sale of my brother's property and he had a similar experience

Here’s a polished review you could post on Google or elsewhere: I cannot recommend HRC Law highly enough. From start to finish, they made what was already a difficult and stressful process feel so much more manageable. They took away the complexity, provided clear guidance, and supported me every step of the way. A special thank you to James Grigg, who was absolutely brilliant. He is incredibly knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Having someone with his expertise and composure on your side during such a stressful time is invaluable. I always felt confident that I was in safe hands. I would also like to mention Angela Surnam, who was consistently responsive, patient, and approachable. No question ever felt like too much trouble, and she was always happy to help me understand my options and work through any issues that arose. The whole team at HRC Law provided an outstanding level of service, combining professionalism with genuine care and compassion. I am incredibly grateful for everything they did for me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional legal support. Thank you all so much!
