About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

My experience with Richard Hardy and the firm overall is that they handled things very professionally not just in 1 case with me but in 2. They worked with me and talked me through the full process very well kept me on board throughout the whole process and helped me to understand bit by bit. Always got back to my emails and calls and always kept appointment times. Truly this firm helped my life in so many ways I am truly greatful to the team and everyone there. Thank you so much.

I can't thank this firm enough, especially Richard Hardy who took my case on. He worked perfectly and so hard to help me, he was kind, caring, polite, patient and supportive. Anytime I wasn't sure on something he took the time to explain and made sure I understood, kept me up to date along the way, he made time for me where needed, he listened and heard what i was saying, for that I'm forever grateful. I'd highly recommend this company and Richard. Thank you.

I instructed Ben Hoare Bell Solicitors in a claim against Suffolk Police. Anabella Dolling and Andrew Freckleton were fantastic in the service that they offered. Andrew Is very knowledgeable in his his field and carried out a lot of work behind the scenes regarding case law and legislation. I am pleased to have won the case against Suffolk Police and an award for aggravated damages paid. I would advise anyone looking to make a claim against police to speak to Ben Hoare Bell, having someone as experienced as Andrew Freckleton is essential in receiving the correct outcome.
