Helen, my solicitor, considered my case very carefully, and then offered me possible choices that could save time and cost. She always planned ahead that the things could happen and let me have sufficient time to prepare. My case is a little complex as it was involved with both UK financial setlement and overseas jurisdictions. She planned me to begin with simple matter -- get back land register (least cost), then pointed out, in case of need, receiving counsel advice and seeking barrister (more expensive). This was proved the most efficient as to process my case.

Following on from a couple of years of verbal and abusive behaviour from my neighbours family. I maintained the fence between the two properties, as I have always done since moving into my new build home. My neighbours have not lived there very long, but seem to think they own everything including the fences, paths and road. Since they moved in I have maintained the fence three times, the first and second were ok as I paid for the post, panels and paint; however, on the third occasion, they threatened me with court action and for the whole fence to be renewed with less desirable materials that did not go with the rest of the village and was not environmentally friendly. This is when I contacted Hewitts Solicitors, in particular Ben Green. Ben was very professional and understanding with my issue of the boundary dispute and the abuse my family suffered from the neighbours. Ben has been working relentlessly to have the issue resolved, by keeping me informed on a daily basis, even when communication with the other party was ignored. Overall, Ben has been very supportive and helped us achieve our goal of having an environmentally friendly boundary fence.
