Absolutely first class service

I was extremely fortunate to have been represented by Kayleigh Bell of Hay and Kilner LLP. Kayleigh is exceptionally talented, thorough and has the ability to clearly and effectively explain complicated legal issues in clear, understandable language. She is highly responsive, an excellent communicator and has made a difficult situation much easier to deal with. I can't recommend Kayleigh highly enough.

Claire has been tremendous explaining everything slowly so that my husband could understand the procedure of power-of-attorney she didn’t rush things. She just explained things very simply to him.

Thank you

Kayleigh Bell provided exceptional support throughout what was an incredibly long, stressful and emotionally challenging family court case. From the outset, she took the time to understand every aspect of the matter, including serious allegations made against me, the fact-finding process, disputes regarding contact arrangements, educational and healthcare issues, and securing my son’s dual nationality passport. Her advice was always clear, measured and strategic. She was meticulous in her preparation, highly professional at all times, and gave me confidence throughout one of the most difficult periods of my life. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the court made a shared care order, formally recognising the important role I play in my son’s life and ensuring that he will continue to benefit from a meaningful relationship with both of his parents. After nearly two years of litigation and numerous allegations, this outcome has finally brought stability and normality for both me and my son. I cannot recommend Kayleigh highly enough. Her professionalism, calm approach and unwavering support were instrumental in achieving this life-changing result.

The help that Hay & Kilmer gave to us when we were fighting a Court case was absolutely invaluable., in particular I would like to give thanks to Louisa Beresford, who guided us through what was a very difficult time. Her commitment and integrity were absolutely second to none! We won the case hands down but we could not have done it with her legal expertise and guidance. I can unreservedly recommend this Firm!!

A representative from Hay & Kilner LLP responded to this review

Thanks so much for leaving such positive feedback Sheila, we are so glad Louisa was such a help and have passed on your comments.

I used the firm to purchase a house and was not disappointed. This, however, was not my first time dealing with Hay & Kilner for various purchases of houses and land (not myself, but relatives). Communication was amiss in some cases, but certainly has improved drastically for myself this time around. My primary contact in the firm was Scott Oliver - Paralegal, he has always been very diligent and prompt answering any queries I had and offered reliable advice.

A representative from Hay & Kilner LLP responded to this review

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Sergiy. We are so glad that Scott was such a help and have passed on your kind words.
