Alison Mannas

We used Alison for the sale of a property after probate was granted. Having bought and sold properties over the years and know what hard work it can be to get through the process, Alison dealt with the sale with great efficiency and completion was done is double quick time! If you are buying or selling we would highly recommend dealing with Alison for your conveyancing.

Excellent service

As one of the executors for an estate, I found Alison's help in selling the house of the deceased to be invaluable. She was knowledgeable and gave helpful advice. A pleasure to deal with, highly recommended.

Profit Orientated company with slow/incapable solicitors

I spent £6500 for an easy divorce case and they weren't able to finish the job at all. Their hourly rate is lower than market but they are slower and has incapable solicitors ( at least my solicitor was) which doesn't help hourly charge. Their solicitor checked unsigned legal documents from other party and charged me twice once signed copy received. This must be simple number 1 rule that all legal documents must be signed before taking any action, You don't need to study law for years to learn such a fundamental rule. This is very much profit orientated law company, I would suggest anyone to avoid working with such a law firm at all costs, Go and find doubled hourly rate firm, I guarantee you they will finish your case at lower cost and quicker.

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.

Great service, efficient and professional

Worked with Emma McCarthy at HCR Legal to revise my will after various life changes required it to be updated. Emma was a delight to work with on updating and helped bring it up to date quickly and efficiently as well as providing insight and assistance into newer matters that affected my will. Recommended.

I have found Write Hassall Solicitors to be very professional. I have worked with Tracy and Dionne, and both have been exceptionally professional and supportive throughout. I’m very thankful for all of their help and guidance.

Hi Matt, Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with Tracie and Dionne, it’s great to know their help made a difference. Best wishes, The Wright Hassall Team

I have had my will with Wright Hassall for years. We needed to change some minor details and trying to get this done has been an unpleasant experience in which the whole situation escalated leading me to posting this negative review. They did not seem to be able to return phone calls, book appointments, work out if things should be done remotely or face-to-face and seemed unable to provide a price for their services. I was finally given a price for the work the day before the appointment and the price was as far as I’m concerned excessive. I can write a full new Will with an alternative solicitors for the same price as amending my Will with Wright Hassall. The final straw was then dealing with the head of the private client team who was incredibly defensive, unhelpful and questioned my version of events despite email trails documenting it all. I initially had no interest in escalating this to a complaint but the whole episode has been so badly managed it ended up as a complaint and means I will not use Wright Hassall again. However, worse was the way the complaint was dealt with. I feel that this means other people should be aware and forewarned of the levels of customer service offered by this solicitors.

Hi Ian, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused during the process. This is not the experience we want any of our clients to have, and we regret that we didn’t meet your expectations. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please feel free to get in touch. Best wishes, The Wright Hassall Team

We took in our wills (no appointment made) for safe keeping, though the practice was very busy, the very next day we received a letter confirming receipt - amazing service.

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!

Consistently goes above and beyond

Have now had the benefit of Laura's support on a number of transactions and she consistently goes above and beyond to take the burden of the process away from you and to make up for the slack of other parties involved in the process. Almost as sure as any potential problem arises, Laura has either come up with a solution or has the alternatives available to provide you with a sensible option not losing sight of the objective to get the deal done effectively. All the time keeping you adequately appraised of progress. Could not recommend highly enough.

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.
