First time using the firm of John Kilcoyne. A first class experience, professional and dedicated team, that kept me informed all the way. John was absolutely brilliant in court and I got a not guilty verdict.

Michael Horne

Tagged solicitor Michael Horne

Michael Horne and the team worked hard and were diligent on a case very recently. What was almost certainly going to be a prison sentence was significantly reduced by their sheer determination for correct justice. The cost was extensive but there is no price on freedom. We are very grateful for everything, including the support and time devoted to this case.

Darren FlightStuart Cooper

Tagged solicitors Darren Flight and Stuart Cooper

When I was 17 I was put on remand, using (NOT!!!!HCN). solicitors handed to me bye the police themselves being lead to believe prison was my only outcome. However after 5months on remand we met Darren and Stuart from HCN, they busted the case right open every single detail of this catalogue of documents they crushed it ! From then on I’ve appeared in court I’d say around 20 times and I’ve never not used these guys! 10 years and many court appearances later I still have my freedom and 110% faith in the whole team I’ve recommended them to multiple friends who also only have good things to say. All of which still use HCN today. Id confidently go as far as saying they are the best in Essex! Every single member of the team I have worked with has given their absolute all. I can say for sure that every single time I enter a court room with HCN behind me I feel confident and comfortable knowing the team will give there all and have my back through the entire process and after! Thanks HCN

Peter Baker

Tagged solicitor Peter Baker

Peter was very efficient and reassuring from his attendance at the police station following my arrest. through to my trial. I valued his judgement on how to proceed with my case and his choice of barrister. He attended my pre hearing at very short notice and kept me informed of progress and court dates.
