Our Wills and LPAs

We wanted to get our wills in order and additional advice on having the very confusing LPAs pt in place. Too much for us to understand and deal with, so we considered it worthwhile to get professional advice. it was important for us to understand the legal issues but not to get so confused that we were scared off. We found every stupidly naive question we raised was dealt with through explanation and respect.

Professional and supportive service throughout

Chris, Rebecca and Cecily were exceptional. They dealt with my claim with the utmost professionalism, maintaining contact with me throughout and providing clear and concise guidance to ensure I fully understood each process. They made the entire process extremely smooth and I felt fully supported through what was a very difficult time. A very big thank you from me!

Severely Disappointed with HCRLaw - Avoid if You Value Your Time

I unfortunately had a very negative experience with HCRLaw . My case progressed at an excruciatingly slow pace, largely due to their lack of proactivity. The failure to address essential documents in a timely manner, leaving it until the very end, resulted in significant delays and considerable unnecessary stress. Communication was also a major issue. Getting hold of them was near impossible; calls frequently went unanswered, and I was constantly left chasing for updates. Even when they did promise to get back to me, they rarely followed through. Overall, I found their service to be incredibly inefficient and frustrating. If you are looking for a solicitor who is responsive, proactive, and values your time, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Exceptional Professional - Nicola Wheater

Throughout the whole process leading up to the hearing it was clear that Nicola Wheater is an exceptional professional - sharp-minded with a strong attention to detail and a patient manner which has never gone unnoticed. Nicola was pragmatic, intelligent and calm - all qualities which have been appreciated. Nicola Wheater and Valerie Charbit (Counsel - Red Lion Chambers) were a fine team offering much reassurance to our organisation at an emotionally difficult time....

Review of Will

Following a recent house purchase we realised it would be a good idea to each arrange a Will. Emma was recommended to us and we are very pleased with the service she provided. The advice provided was clear and succinct whilst Emma always had an informed answer to any queries we had. Emma and her team were very efficient throughout and were friendly and approachable. We have already recommended Emma's services to other family members.

Other than the individual actions of one solicitor which was very good, the rest of the service and experiences over almost 12 months for our business has not been good. The communication is awful, advice is not definitive and the rates are exceptionally high for a service which doesn't match the costs. I could not recommend them at all, and despite multiple attempted to contact them recently over a legal need, we have received ZERO communication which has prompted us to switch firms.

Absolute shambles when we remortgaged with Wright Hassall. Having to chase them all the time, staff leaving someone else always dealing with the case. There were things they should have completed when we remortgaged with them 2 years ago that they did not do which caused us an issue this time around. We have complained with a very weak response. I would NOT recommend them at all. If there was an option for no stars I would do this.

Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the service and response to your complaint. Your options, should you wish to take this further, have been outlined in the complaint response provided to you. Thank you.

I had a great experience with Daniaal and Wright Hassall LLP. My visa process went smoothly and on timings shorter than expected. Great client counselling, great knowledge of the processes.. Just a very knowledgeable and professional advisor and firm.

Many thanks for your review, Antonio, and for taking the time to post it. We really appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you were so happy with the service that you received from Daniaal and the team at Wright Hassall.

Dionne Russell of the Business Immigration Team was extremely helpful in sorting out my Indefinite Leave to Remain application. The UK immigration process can be overwhelming, but with her help I was given peace of mind. She is very skilled with navigating the complexities of this country's rules and regulations, and she is always quick to make sure that everything is explained thoroughly and always willing to listen to any questions or concerns that you may have. If you find yourself needing the services of a solicitor for your immigration needs, don't hesitate to get in touch with her. You'll be glad you did!

Thanks so much for your review and for taking the time to post it. We really appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you were so happy with the service that you received from Dionne and the team at Wright Hassall.

Had the displeasure of this firm sending private letters to my neighbours which were meant for me regarding a legal matter. I complained and between Alastair Redfern and Purveen Dhami, they he had a year of excuses and ignorance. Both clearly incapable of doing their basic jobs, never mind finding an apology to me. The other reviews I read all sound familiar, nothing positive about this firm, and their several trading names.

Fantastic support in the sale of London Flat

Laura has been brilliant throughout the sale of my leasehold flat in London. She guided us through the complexities of the leasehold transfer process and the requirements for demonstrating compliance with the Building Safety Act. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness made a potentially stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Laura and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Laura is incredible.

Laura was recommended to us as first time buyers and we don’t know what we would have done without her. We felt at ease the entire process, always felt like we could jump on a call and felt like we learnt a lot from the experience. We would recommend Laura to anyone and everyone - she is incredible and just an absolute delight to work with. We will miss our frequent chats with Laura - that is how you know you found the right lawyer!

The team at Wright Hassall have been incredibly helpful each time we have had to go through the process of renewing our UK Visa. Daniaal recently helped us through the ILR application process and he made everything incredibly seamless, providing us with the right level of support and professionalism throughout the journey. If you have any immigration support needs in the UK, I would highly recommend working with the team. Thanks, Daniaal!

I had an excellent experience with Matt Gillett at HCR Law. From the outset, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and understand the issues I was facing. He provided calm, clear, and practical advice that helped me better understand a complex workplace legal matter. What stood out most was the effort Matt made to ensure I fully understood my options and the legal position. He was patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me. He went above and beyond what I expected, and far more than any other firm I contacted regarding my issue. I am extremely grateful for his support and would highly recommend Matt Gillett to anyone seeking knowledgeable, approachable, and client-focused legal advice.
