Kelly was very friendly from the start and explained the steps for writing my Will prior to commencing. I had delayed writing my Will because it felt like a complicated process however Kelly took care of the content which I just had to clarify and approve and gave expert advice throughout which made Will writing run smoothly, thank you Kelly.

On all occasions, we have used Hart Brown. They have been open and informative. Tamzin Mandelli was particularly helpful in an advisory and legal capacity during a tricky property purchase - would highly recommend.

Lawrence Stolworthy guided us excellently through the complexities of selling our London flat. His knowledge and expertise were impressive. He was friendly and approachable, and very good at keeping us informed, . We relied heavily on him and we have not been let down. We are very grateful, and wouldn't want to instruct anyone else for our conveyancing.

Extremely professional and efficient, a premium service that did come with a premium price tag. However I felt completely satisfied and able to trust in their knowledge and professionalism. Hart Brown helped us to get through a stressful time and they made the situation easier by taking away and dealing with all the issues and Legal points that had to be dealt with. Thanks.
