Very professional and straightforward

This review is for a different branch.

Hedges were used for a Will rewrite and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
The processes were, on the whole, smooth and any slight hiccups were caused by myself.

EXCELLENT WORKING RELATIONSHIP

This review is for a different branch.

We have been extremely fortunate to have Ella Swanwick dealing with us on some very unpleasant family matters concerning wills, executor activity etc.
Throughout the time we have been dealing with her she has been totally understanding, kind and, as importantly, has provided excellent advice when we were struggling - and also, when the situation required it, some humour.
We trust her totally and she has helped us navigate some tricky situations and take the strain from us.

Exceptional service and highly recommended

This review is for a different branch.

Hedges Law are by far the best solicitors I have dealt with. Zoe, Yasmine and Sarah were beyond helpful with sorting my divorce of difficulties with a previous solicitor and time passing. They were all very professional and welcoming when I met them and did not rush me with any of the processes and really took the time to explain the difficult terminology and processes as I really struggled to understand them. I would highly recommend Hedges for all your legal needs and I would not hesitate to use them in the future should I need legal expertise

I have to admit that it took three drafts before I was happy that the wording was adequate, but I found both Edward and his very efficient secretary, Rachel very friendly and helpful to deal with.

Non authorised work and charges.

This review is for a different branch.

Terrible experience. They will load you with invoices most of it useless work and rip you off completely. Yet nothing will be resolved. Definitely better firms out there and will never use them again . A so called serious firm , against the freedom of feedback. You have no rights to point how many feedbacks and what firms I have reviewed . All in one , not transparent representatives (not all of them), un explained charges, and un authorised work. For your own peace of mind I have used over 10 different firms and not all with the outcome as I had with hedges. If there was a 0 star I would happily give it

A representative from Hedges Law Limited responded to this review on 25 June, 2025:

Dear F. It is very disappointing to read that you are not happy with the service you have received from Hedges as it is exceptionally unusual for us to receive negative reviews. We have repeatedly requested that you engage with our senior managment team to explain your complaint and allow us to investigate and respond but you have declined to do so. This is unfortunate as we would very much welcome the opportunity to understand more about your experience and why you consider it to have been so unsatisfactory. We are aware that you have written highly critical reviews for 4 different firms of solicitors.

Amy did a great job with our wills.

This review is for a different branch.

The experience with Hedges has been great. From the inital comms for enquiries and setting up meetings, to meeting and working with Amy to produce our wills.
Amy was friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and happy to answer my many questions! We'd happily recommend Amy and Hedges.

Tina and Tracy at Hedges Solicitors assisted with the recent purchase of a flat. Friendly, fully professional and they kept me informed along a lengthy process. Very thorough - Tina picked up an assessment that had not been covered previously by other buyers solicitors. My only negative would be the quote for services was less than I finally paid but the process took longer than originally expected which was out of their control. I would not hesitate to use Hedges solicitors again.

Very historic Wallingford solicitors, now dragged into C21 WFH. Pricing full but negotiable. Service good. Pretty ghastly concrete Summertown annex, well served.
