    Employment Dispute

    I can not thank Hart Brown and particularly Louisa Keville enough. During my employment dispute she took the time to listen and explain my options, providing support and candid advice during a very painful and stressful situation. She brought it to a positive conclusion quickly and as painlessly as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Louisa Keville.

    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

    I needed someone to act on my behalf quickly and efficiently; but also someone who would explain and provide clarity on the details. Louisa more than met my needs and is both personable, professional, easy to talk to and easy to understand.

      Very easy to work with

      James is very approachable, pragmatic and commercial. The matter was not straightforward, with a number of different personalities involved, but he took the time to understand exactly what we were trying to achieve. Rather than taking the easy option, worked with us to try and find the right solution, helping to manage differing views and keeping things moving to try and reach a conclusion.

      Slow and slapdash service

      After my father's death, Hart Brown Cranleigh acted as executor on behalf of my elderly mother. The will could not have been simpler as she was the sole beneficiary, all accounts and property were in joint names and there were no debts. It took almost two months before a single action was taken by anyone at Hart Brown, banks and insurance companies were not contacted in a timely manner. Emails and calls were not replied to, out of office auto-emails were incorrect, family and client were not kept informed of progress. Client service charter was not adhered to, documents contained factual inaccuracies and final bill was incorrect. I would never use this law firm again.

      I have always found James and the team to be very proactive and understanding of the oddities of the business and those within it. James is also very patient given that transactions although sometimes fast paced can also be very slow while different personalities are navigated.

      Slow and slapdash service on probate. Lack of attention to detail, poor customer service with repeated delayed response to inquiries. Failure to make progress was blamed on workload and staff shortages. Incorrect final bill. I would not trust this firm with any future legal affairs.

      This is very concerning review to read. We are looking into this as a priority at our end.
