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.

UK Will - consideration for family & business interests

Sue provided assurance and guidance to help draft and produce my UK Will. A task I had been wanting to complete for some time! I have a UK business and young children to consider in my planning, and I found this service to be very helpful, professional and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Sue. Highly recommended.

Making a Will when Owning a property abroad

My wife and I decided that it was high time to make a Will. The 'problem' involved our ownership of a house in France. Having made a number of enquiries with various firms of Solicitors, we decided that Hart Brown had the necessary expertise to overcome what could be the contentious issue of forced inheritance laws that pertain in France. Having contacted our local Notaire in France and in consultation with a knowledgeable Zara Munday at Hart Brown, we agreed that the best way forward was to make two Wills, one in France with the Notaire covering only the house and one in England with Hart Brown covering the rest of our assets in France together with all of our English assets. Having two Wills avoids any disputes and more importantly makes the execution of each Will easier, faster and therefore cheaper to enact. We were extremely pleased with Hart Brown's efficient, expeditious and great value for money service. Highly recommended!!

Hart Brown's technical and personal skills (particularly listening to our needs and clearly communicating) in producing our wills was highly impressive. Furthermore, fees were flagged in advance, maintained and considered upon conclusion to be fair and reasonable. In marked contrast, quotation for Trust work was wholly unacceptable.

Clinical Negligence

Personal Injury / Insurance

When I approached Gerard Sanders with my clinical negligence claim, I did not know what to expect or the likelihood of success. The professionalism of Gerard and his team was exceptional throughout. The thoroughness of preparation, investigation, communication and gathering of information ultimately provided a level of success beyond my expectations. Gerard displayed an empathy and warmth that certainly helped to ease some of the distress of the unfortunate situation that had occurred.

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

Professional Conveyancing in Woking Area

I'd like to thank Hart Brown in Woking. Fees were clearly set out at the start and I found Nitasha to be approachable, available and on top of everything. I was kept regularly updated about any unexpected delays along the way and in the end completed on the day planned. I would highly recommend conveyancing with Nitasha Thapar and her colleagues at Hart Brown in Woking.
