Divorce Review

My experience with Higgs LLP was very professional at all times and they have a very good knowledge of the process, they were very conscious on going through the divorce proceedings and very understanding when times are difficult between the parties.

Jodie was very understanding even when I was having a 'moment' and always explained things so I was able to understand them (Solicitors use big words that I don't understand!)

The only grumble I would have is the overall cost as this was excessive, however I did not help this by my own doings delaying the process, I'm sure if I had sat down before and thought everything through I would of saved costs in the long run.

However I am would highly recommend Phil and Jodie for any 'family' issues in the future as they were polite professional and helpful when required.

Clinical negligence case

I have had the pleasure to be represented by Jenny Tetlow of Higgs solicitors recently. Jenny was very professional , friendly and knowledgeable. Jenny kept me upto date at all times and appreciated my position. Jenny understood the emotional aspect and how it could effect me as well as the need to concentrate on the intricacies of the case. I felt comfortable asking any questions and was always confident in her ability and professional knowledge to do the best she could for me. This made a situation that could well have been hard , a lot easier and less stressful which I am so grateful for. The outcome was very good considering the obstacles that were put in our way which Jenny delt with professionaly and patiently at all times.

From start to finish it has been an amazing service, the legal advice was top notch - always happy to explain anything that I asked. Laura and Sally went above and beyond what was traumatic time for me much much easier. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Laura fought hard for me to get the settlement I deserved - every step of the process was communicated to me.

Tough, highly experienced and friendly lawyer!

We were recommended the services of Suky by a very experienced & specialist lawyer in the insolvency sector to defend against a perspective court hearing for preference claim.

Given that we are a dogmatic & litigious company by nature - not normally disposed to settle - it was a fundamental requirement to have a very tough lawyer to fight our corner from the outset: Suky is exceptionally tenacious and proved to be the perfect lawyer to represent us against an equally litigious PLC opponent.

That said, if a client like us is determined to pursue a legal battle which ultimately may not achieve the best outcome financially, you need to have a lawyer onside whose judgment you can trust.

We were a new client and Suky quickly built rapport with us due to her friendly and approachable personality: we felt that we could trust her judgment to achieve the best outcome for us. That honest approach saved us a lot of money in perspective litigation fees, (which obviously does not benefit the law firm), and importantly it served to reinforce the integrity & values of both Suky and Higgs LLP.

Suky is an excellent lawyer. We will not hesitate to use her services again in the the future and Higgs LLP.
