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.

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.

My mother wanted to set up a new will and we were aware of Hart Brown in Guildford which was convenient for us. Lindsay Ormsby made contact with us and we arranged a meeting. From the very start, Lindsay put us at ease and was able to understand our requirements and help us to navigate our situation in a professional manner, giving us peace of mind that we needed.

The work on my mother’s estate involved immense cost (over £16,000) and long, needless delays. They often took over a week to rrespond to simple email requests.

We are very concerned to see a review like this. We have escalated this to the Head of Trusts & Estates. We have not received a complaint from you as per our complaints procedure, nor do we recognise your name as someone who has complained to us informally. Please provide us with further information by emailing us at ELL@hartbrown.co.uk.

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.

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.
