We used the firm to draw up LPAs for my mother. We were ably assisted by Asmaa Hannan, who was very approachable, yet very professional in her manner. She was clear and concise in her explanations which was particularly helpful.

We are extremely grateful to Georgii, and her team, for the assistance in the making of our new wills. Georgii was engaging, understanding, asked pertinent questions that gave us food for thought and was thoroughly professional throughout. We could not have asked for more. Alan and Jackie

We needed some guidance with data base ownership. We approached Josiah Hicks as they were local to our office. Got an immediate responce to confirm they could help. A few days late a full responce to allow us to respond to the issue we had.

Professional and friendly service.

We had a very good experience with Josiah Hincks and our conveyancer Trisha. Though we were very anxious about buying our first home and of course there were many frustrations along the way, Trisha was able to keep us updated throughout the process and regularly chase our vendors solicitors. Would definitely recommend Josiah Hincks if you are looking for conveyancy services.

Always a pleasure to work with Yilmaz Ozgen of Josiah Hincks. Having worked together on a few different matters his level of detail and support is the best I have seen in the industry. Looking forward to working on more in the near future.

Just want to thank Josiah Hincks for helping me through my late mother's will. They kept me up to date with the process and were understanding about the issues I had. They are professional but understand the personal issues you may be having. Many thanks to Georgii for all her hard work.

Josiah Hincks has been our family solicitors for many years, for wills, conveyancing and probate. This time it was to redo a will which Georgii Goodenough arranged for my brother in law. She was responsive to his requests and advised on the different gifts and trust provisions he wanted to leave. Her professional yet friendly approach is a credit to the firm. We highly commend Georgii and Josiah Hincks for your legal needs, which they now can do remotely with Teams meetings & online ID checks.

We used Josiah Hincks instructing Trisha Palmer in the sale and purchase of our home. It was not an easy transaction as our chain collapsed twice and we needed to make multiple changes along the way, including changing the house we were purchasing! However, Trisha was the consummate professional guiding us through the process. She was quick to act, easy to contact and a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her services highly enough. Thank you Trisha and Josiah Hincks!
