    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

      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.

      A representative from Hart Brown Solicitors responded to this review

      This is a very concerning review to read. We are looking into this as a matter of priority.

      We attended meetings with Margaret Gale at Cobham to change and update or previous wills by HB. She was very professional and helpful as the changes involved family issues. She listened and gave good advice on ways of changing our wills to accommodate our particular requirements. Overall we were very satisfied with the way she dealt with our new wills.
