David Morgan

Tagged solicitor David Morgan

The first firm of solicitors who I feel are one step ahead of me, not ten behind! I used Beswicks some years ago for conveyancing transactions, the communication and advice was good then. Some years later I returned to the corporate law department for support with a business purchase and ongoing legal support. The communication at Beswicks is excellent and their ability to crossover multiple specialist sectors was vital for the transaction I was involved with. There's a lot of great people I have encountered at Beswicks but a special mention has to go out to David Morgan. During a hectic and stressful period, I felt I was David's only client and he was always available at the end of the phone. Following the transaction he was there to advise and assist with all aspects of the business and he has my utmost trust. Beswicks are not the cheapest and will not be for everyone. However for me, where I value speed, communication, quality of advice and trusting those operating in my interest, they are the perfect fit. Thank you Alistair Trippett Heywoods (1881) Estate Agents

Carl Wright

Tagged solicitor Carl Wright

I found Hopkins excellent. Carl Wright was approachable, easy to talk to and understanding. My case involved unusual work activity, but he learned about it quickly and made me feel he really wanted to do the best for me. He showed care at frustrating and distressing times during my legal claim, but was also realistic and helpful with his advise. I never met him directly over the 2 1/2 years my case took, but I felt I knew him and he knew me.

Niall Byrne

Tagged solicitor Niall Byrne

Michelle and her team in the conveyancing department, as well as Niall, from corporate and commercial, are simply outstanding. I would highly recommend them: professional, meticulous, and genuinely committed to seeing your case through to completion. I had a particularly tricky set of sales involving a complex legal issue, and the entire team at Hawley and Rodgers was brilliant. They went to bat on my behalf, ensuring my interests were fully represented at every stage. Thanks to their efforts and dedication, the case was successfully resolved—something that simply wouldn’t have been possible without them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
