Will Service

Having used Hart Brown almost 25 years ago when we first drew up our wills, we came back to make some adjustments as the service had previously been faultless. The same could not be said this time. No acknowledgement of an email of ours replying to Hart Brown to arrange our appointment in over 2 weeks is not what we had anticipated, but we cant really take the chance to wait any longer given that its a will! Maybe a one off, who knows, but our loyalty was clearly misplaced.

A representative from Hart Brown Solicitors responded to this review

We are very sorry to read this review. We have escalated this to the Head of Department and the matter is being looked into immediately. In the meantime if you would like to send over a full explanation of what took place, please can you kindly email Elizabeth Larkin at ell@hartbrown.co.uk and we will do our very best to put this right.

The combination of remote working and dropping in to the Godalming office worked very well. The TEAMS meeting with Emily was relaxed and - thanks to filling in the Will Questionnaire beforehand - we achieved everything needed in the allocated time. All communications with Emily and Lesley were friendly and efficient and Tracey was also helpful and welcoming when I visited the office to deliver or sign documents. I am very pleased to have my new Will completed successfully and promptly.

We found Margaret Gale at Hart Brown to be knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with throughout the process of preparing our wills. Margaret took the time to explain everything clearly, providing just the right level of detail to meet our needs without ever making the process feel overwhelming. She was patient, happy to work at our pace, and always made us feel comfortable asking questions. After many years of not having wills in place, we now have the reassurance of knowing our affairs are properly organised. We are very happy with the service we received and would happily recommend Margaret to anyone looking for clear, thoughtful and professional legal advice.

Alice Tranter at the Cobham office has just helped me complete my Will in a most professional and comprehensive fashion after assessing my circumstances and advising as appropriate. The feeling of having a Will done and dusted just as I had hoped for is great and I am very grateful to Alice and Hart Brown. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Employment

Employment Law Ninja’s

I’m grateful to have had a firm as polished as Hart Brown support me. I made a conscious decision to avoid a no win, no fee route, and I’m pleased I did. The case received the attention and detail it deserved. Louisa Keville demonstrated clear expertise from the outset, putting me in a strong position as soon as we engaged. Within a few weeks, my employment case was settled, and I was very happy with the outcome. I would not hesitate to choose Louisa and Hart Brown again

We were very pleased with the excellent service we received from Rosie Taylor throughout the recent process of selling Mum’s house. We were expertly guided through the practical and legal aspects of the sale and Rosie was excellent in managing the liaison with the buyer’s solicitor to ensure timely responses. It was also reassuring that on the occasion Rosie was not be available to speak to, her colleagues were fully briefed and were also able to answer our queries. Thank you to Rosie and the team at Hart Brown Guildford for making the sale such a straight forward and successful journey.

We decided to use Hart Brown after a recommendation and thank god we did. Jeremy is the consummate professional. With assistance from Stacey he help us sell and buy our homes, dealing with Help to buy and an estate management company. We didn't have to chase him once. In what turned out to be quite a stressful move due to our seller using an office block full of paralegals instead of a proper high street solicitors, Jeremy chased and pushed each step of the way sending us near daily updates. We cannot recommend Hart Brown enough. Do not be fooled into using cut price services by your estate agent. You will pay for it in stress. Use a local, rated, high street Solicitors. Thank you.
