HCR Legal LLP Shrewsbury

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.

We are sorry that you are dissatisfied with the service provided and our response to any complaint you submitted. If they haven’t already, our complaints team will supply you with our Complaints Handling Procedure, which outlines the next steps available to you.

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.

Thank you for the positive review, we have passed your kind words onto Gwenllian and the Family Law team.

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.

Thank you for the positive review. We have passed your words onto Sally and the team.

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.

Sally was the epitome of support and understanding at all times, the care and compassion she showed through my case was perfect and she was so professional and knowledgeable, I always felt well looked after and nothing ever felt like a problem. What impressed me the most was her ability to always listen to my thoughts and perspective, take them onboard properly, not just humour me, and then work out a way to progress that was sensitive and kind as well as totally professional. I cant imagine how difficult my process would have been without Sally Simply the Best, no question.

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.

Thank you for the great review, we have passed your positive words onto Shereen and the team.

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
