Excellent service!! I would definitely recommended Higgs, who dealt with my personal injury claim after my road traffic accident (hit & run, unknown driver) Simon Stanfield (my solicitor) and his legal assistant Alison Rowlands are both super friendly, professional, very helpful, and both communicated fantastically with me during my claim. I was always kept in the loop of where my case was at, as the Motor Insurance bureau (MIB) are not the most responsive, but Simon & Alison constantly updated me of where my claim was at, or what step I needed to take next. If I need any future claims or advice I would 100% definitely return to this firm for help. Thank you so much Simon, Alison and Higgs.

I cannot thank Simon Stanfield enough for the support, guidance, and professionalism he showed throughout my case. From our very first conversation, he made me feel reassured and confident that I was in capable hands. What stood out most was not only his legal expertise but also his genuine care and understanding during a difficult and stressful time. Simon was always approachable, patient, and willing to take the time to explain everything clearly. He kept me informed throughout the process, responded promptly to any concerns, and made what was an overwhelming experience easier to manage. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome never went unnoticed. I am truly grateful for all of his hard work and support. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled and professional but also compassionate and genuinely invested in helping his clients.

This was our first MBO, and it was a steep learning curve. Higgs helped guide us through the legal side of the process and were available when we needed clarity or reassurance. They produced strong documentation and helped us protect our position as founders. We found the whole team answered all our questions in a way we could understand, turned documentation around quickly and kept us upto date with where we were in the process.

Very honest and straightforward advice and support. Super efficient

Over the course of 5 years, we appointed Higgs & Sons to act as a professional deputy. Unfortunately, our experience was consistently marked by poor communication, significant delays, and a lack of professionalism. Despite the firm charging approximately £12,000–£15,000 per year for what were simple administrative duties, timely responses to calls or emails were rare. Although Nicholas Moxon was named as the appointed deputy, we did not receive a single email or telephone call from him during the entire period. All communication was instead routed through Claire Whittall and Katie Chance, both of whom were frequently unresponsive and, at times, discourteous. On one occasion, after receiving no replies, I drove nearly two hours to the firm’s office, only to be handed documents by a receptionist while the relevant staff members declined to meet. The deputyship accounts were also significantly behind schedule—approximately two years overdue. Given the level of fees being charged, it is essential that these accounts are scrutinised by the Senior Courts Costs Office to ensure they are legitimate and proportionate. Following my mother’s passing, we expected a degree of sensitivity and efficiency. Instead, even simple enquiries regarding arrangements for a modest funeral required repeated follow ups. The funeral directors were not paid promptly, and we were again left to chase for updates. Despite the minimal communication during this period—amounting to only a few emails—Higgs & Sons sought to charge £3,389.40 for “extensive involvement.” In correspondence, Katie Chance stated: “Following your mother’s death there was extensive involvement to assist the executors in understanding the current position and to try and progress matters. The work completed from the date of death to date currently stands at £3,389.40… However, given the value of the estate, I am happy to agree to a 10% reduction of these fees as a gesture of goodwill.

I asked for their help submitting papers to Land Registry and was required to pay £2400 up front. They then said they didn’t think I would be successful and refused to submit the papers or give me my money back.

Efficient and Professional. We used Higgs LLP for selling and purchasing a domestic property/conveyancing and for Wealth Management advice. The service provided was excellent. The company is highly recommended.
