Excellent service

We were put in touch with Matthew Whitman at Hatch Brenner via Will Aid following an unfortunate experience with another firm. Right from the start, Matthew provided us with clear, honest advice and sorted out our wills swiftly and efficiently. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an efficient service.

I cannot fault my solicitor's work in completing and sorting my deceased mother's estate. She was knowledgeable, conscientious, and efficient. My solicitor made the entire process easy, which was obviously a difficult time for myself and my family.

Highly recommend. Cannot thank her enough for her hard work.

I knew nothing about how to make a will. Eleanor explained the process and was helpful and knowledgeable. It was easy to review and correct any changes required. The whole process was very quick and efficient.

A Friendly and Professional Service

Having been let down by another solicitor under the Will Aid scheme, we found Matthew Whitman and Caroline Billings to be approachable, understanding, and highly effective. Communication was excellent throughout, and legal jargon was explained in an easy-to-understand way. They provided a very professional service at a fair price.
I would thoroughly recommend Hatch Brenner Solicitors!

Matthew was very proactive in providing timely, clear information and responses.
Matthew clearly set out the process along with the timeline and encouraged any questions for my own clarification. Matthew was knowledgeable, respectful, yet personable in all means of communication.

I cannot recommend Hatch Brenner highly enough. At a difficult time, they eased the process of a new Will and LPA. Everyone, from Caroline to the people in the office, was friendly and efficient. The inheritance tax issues were explained in language I understood, which helped make it all painless

Went with them, turned up to the wrong court, had no idea about any ruling the judge made, forced to wait months longer ger and spent a huge amount more money despite the other party and I understanding correctly, when I questioned it I was told I needed therapy to continue and was threatened with legal action to pay the invoice for their professional negligence despite already being aware that I have disabilities, this caused me to attempt suicide and self harm of which I informed them and asked for an answer, contacted the supervisor who investigated it and told me they would respond with an update. Multiple emails to them and a year later I have been ignored. Avoid like the plague. They were aware of my mental health issues from the start and I informed them along the way of their mistakes and distress they caused to be threatened, abused and then when they realised they were wrong to then be ignored. I wish I had taken legal action against them when this all happened.

What an incredible let down. Agreed to represent us on an auction property purchase involving international buyers, and then the day after the auction dropped us on the basis that funds held in an EU account are against their internal regulation. This is despite being asked questions at the time of quote as to where the money comes from. With an auction purchase and tight timescales for completion, they have left us in an incredibly difficult position. Extremely unprofessional and uncaring - don’t use
