Andrew Hornsby

Tagged solicitor Andrew Hornsby

Excellence at its highest level I have only used for conveyancing and employment law but I couldn't find a better firm of solicitors if I tried, their lawyers are second to none, I know Andrew Hornsby having worked for him many years ago and you simply won't find a more driven, efficient and capable solicitor who also has people skills and empathy, he has many years of experience in several fields of contentious and non contentious litigation as well as commercial law. I would highly recommend this firm of solicitors as they have la creme de la creme of lawyers/solicitors.

Claire Collinge

Tagged solicitor Claire Collinge

Throughout Claire has been focused on providing first class advice to inform my decision making. From the outset Claire sought to fully understand my drivers and objectives and focused her advice to help inform my options and final solution. It is apparent that Claire deeply cares about her clients and wants to offer the best quality of advice. She kept me informed and updated on progress. Without hesitation I would recommend Claire.

Keir Hirst

Tagged solicitor Keir Hirst

I wanted to commend Wace Morgan and Mr Kier Hurst in providing me advice on an MoD pensions issue, I had requested support through the Forces Law website. Both James Woolam and Kier provided me with the advice required to progress the complaint with MoD/Defence Business Services concerning the McCloud remedy and I am very greatful for the time they took to both explore the case and options/approaches to the Tribunal complaint.

Jamie Simner

Tagged solicitor Jamie Simner

Where to start? What to divulge? Jamie came into my life at my lowest ebb. My 21 year career, my wife and children, my home, my wife's vocation and our foster children were all hanging by a thread. Your mind is all over the place in those first few days so you don't notice the humanity in any person that sits in front of you in business attire. It's only afterwards once the dust has settled that you remember those little moments of empathy and compassion. Those are the important moments. Not to say his direction and duty were any less so but what takes someone above and beyond. He never sugar coated. He never condescended. He never put me down for any decisions I made that may not have aligned with his thinking. I don't want to rabbit on but do want to point out that the courts decision being in my favour only has a very slight impact on my gushing praise of Jamie. To sum up, I those dark times you want someone that knows what they are doing, are organised, timely, communicative and compassionate. It's a tick box on all counts for Mr Simner.... a professional gentleman.
