Highly recommend for Divorce matters

I can’t recommend Hart Brown highly enough! My case was dealt with by Julian Waldon of the Cobham branch but with flexibility to meet me at their Guildford offices. Julian was professional and supportive from not only a legal perspective but also emotionally whilst I was going through a very difficult time. Julian’s knowledge and approach was faultless providing me with expert advice and guidance on all matters arising from divorce with a young child involved. Thank you to all the team who helped look after my case and offered support along the way.

Sara McGrigor - excellent service

I have been supported by HB for a number of years whilst dealing with my fathers affairs. The team at HB have helped with wills, tenant eviction, house sales and purchases, annuity arrangements, powers of attorney and health and welfare issues, land sales and valuations, commercial development, probate, capital gains tax and trusts. I can't express how complex these issues were and the tensions they caused throughout the whole family. Resolving the years of poor management of my ageing father's complex affairs was daunting and appeared insurmountable. I liaise principally with Sara McGrigor, who is able to gain support from the team of specialists to help with different areas of law. The service I receive is exemplary, the ability to work out complex matters and find resolution has been outstanding. The emotional tensions through out the family have been lifted and financial benefits of good legal advice should never be undervalued. - A huge thanks.

Andrea supported me hugely through a simple but frustrating divorce. She was always available to help me at tricky times, sometimes at a moment's notice, which gave me peace of mind at a very emotional time. She was highly knowledgable and experienced and reassured me greatly through the who process. I would like to thank her, and Caroline, for all their support over the last year.

I cannot thank Andrea Boulter at Hart Brown enough for the incredible work with an extremely complex situation that she navigated so, so impressively. She conceptualised and initiated a brilliant and unique solution in a very time-sensitive and stressful situation, that resulted in resolution. I have been recommending Andrea and Hart Brown to everyone.

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.

Employment

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.

From our initial contact through to completion of the task, everything was handled very efficiently, professionally and sensitively. Progress from start to finish was very swift. Everyone we encountered, from the receptionist to the solicitor, was very friendly and welcoming. I've already recommended you to a friend and would certainly choose Hart Brown again if needed.

Used the commercial property section, with Lucy Lawrenson as the dealing solicitor in charge. Case was a double, for both commercial, and domestic work. The service provided was absolutely first class, professional, and valued. A number of complications arose, and all were treated with absolute care, and dedication, all to successful conclusion. Often emails continued into late evening, so absolute nothing could be faulted, and only praise given. I would whole heartedly, recommend Lucy, of Hart Brown, for any commercial property work.

Thank you for leaving such a detailed and positive review. We are so glad to read that the service you received met your expectations. We'll pass on your kind comments to Lucy and the Head of Commercial Property now.

★★★★★ Excellent service from start to finish ★★★★★ I cannot recommend Hart Brown highly enough. They guided me through a particularly complex and challenging property transaction, involving a number of unusual legal and practical issues, but the team handled everything with exceptional attention to detail and professionalism throughout. Communication was consistently excellent — I was kept informed at every stage, questions were answered promptly and clearly, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. Despite the complexity of the matter, everyone I dealt with was friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to Lucy and the whole team for their hard work, patience and meticulous attention to detail in getting the transaction successfully over the line. It was a long and complicated process, and I always felt that the details were being properly looked after. A thoroughly professional, friendly and highly recommended firm.
