Our Will needed updating after 35 years! We took the bull by the horns and contacted HSR Law. It was the easiest process, staff were fantastic and the process completed within two weeks. Highly recommend them. Thank you

Charles Smalley

Tagged solicitor Charles Smalley

A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.

Kalim Akhtar

Tagged solicitor Kalim Akhtar

I had previously dealt with Kalim in relation to the sale of my late father’s property, so when it came to handling the sale of my late mother’s property, I did not hesitate to instruct him again. Kalim was thorough, efficient, communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He kept me updated regularly, handled matters promptly. It was genuinely a pleasure dealing with Kalim and I am extremely grateful for all of his help and support. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor, and I will definitely use him again in the future.

Fantastic service from the team at Scullion Law. Straight from the off, the customer service from Jennifer was fantastic helping me through booking my appointment and what to expect when I arrived. On the day, i was welcomed with open arms and Scott was also very helpful too during my appointment. The family vibe at Scullion law is very evident the moment you walk through the door. Thank you for the nice experience and looking after me.

I was one of the executors in an estate and a claim was brought against us by a beneficiary. Tom and Tim gave me practical and straightforward legal advice during the Court case and navigated us through a complex and difficult situation for the family. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
