Excellent, professional service

Our family used the services of Hatten Wyatt to deal with the probate process and all matters relating to my late dad's estate. At our first meeting our solicitor clearly explained the process, estimated fees and gave us time to consider our options. Our solicitor remained our primary contact throughout and dealt with matters professionally and efficiently. She took so much stress away from us.

Friendly and professional service

The case was dealt with in a sympathetic and efficient manner in spite of a few problems regarding the Grant of Probate, and some communication difficulties with the executors. We were always kept informed and made to feel that this was a personal service as well as a professional one.

Exceptional service fron Lily + Selwan

Enlisted Hatten Wyatt to assist with a settlement agreement. In what was initially a stressful time dealing with my existing employer it was refreshing to work with the team at HW. From the outset Lily clearly explained the process and set out timelines. Calls returned when stated and promises kept made me feel valued and respected as a customer. Selwan was generous with his time and explained everything clearly with me so all my questions got addressed. Would highly recommend the team and wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone to call upon them again for any other legal requirements.

Learnt you had to be patient and trust your solicitor. My solicitor was Mr K Amakye. Knew what he was talking about and the subject matter and was invaluable in court. Felt at times I needed more feedback, however think that was more my impatience and my solicitor trying to save me money. Best thing to do was just let him get on with the job. Would definitely recommend him

Excellent communications

I went to Bailey & Cogger (Tonbridge) seeking a solicitor to read, comprehend, and sign my redundancy agreement. B&C passed my details to Hatten Wyatt, where Selwan Yousif scrutinized and undersigned my document. Shout out to Lily Harrington who helped liaise between myself, my ex-company and Lily's internal team. Lily was polite yet friendly, bringing pleasantry to some unpleasant business. I just had to sit back and let the cogs whirr, so a big thumbs up from me.

I recently used Stephens and Sons for my divorce, with Deborah Nicholson handling my case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I received. From the outset, Deborah was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly understanding. She made what was a very stressful and emotional time much more manageable through her clear guidance and calm, supportive approach.

We will be sure to share your lovely feedback with Deborah and the rest of the team. We wish you the very best as you move forward into your next chapter.
