Absolutely amazing!!

Jamie and Ed were absolutely amazing whilst helping us with the sale of our company! They made everything a clear as possible, were unbelievably responsive to messages, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything went as well as it could. They were extremely professional and we felt very comfortable with them representing us!

I don’t know how we could have got through this without them!

I would highly recommend Jame, Ed, and the rest of the team at Higgs. I couldn’t be more grateful for all their hard work and guidance! Thanks!

Outstanding from start to finish!

From the first call with Jamie (Which we requested at pretty short notice), we knew this was the team we wanted to represent us in the sale of our company. Jamie, Ed and the team were very responsive, professional and took the time to explain each step. Which we very much appreciated! We are incredibly grateful for all their work. We couldn't recommend the Higgs team more highly!

Ruth Round was professional and efficient, but equally importantly to me, she has been empathetic and patient, taking my particularly difficult circumstances into account throughout the process.
Thank you, Ruth.

Professional, sympathetic and excellent advice.

Following a life changing motorcycle accident in January 2023, leading to a lower limb amputation, I was referred to Andy Shaw at Higgs.
Andy was an extremely professional and supportive, though thoroughly sincere and personable.
The advice provided was invaluable and, through Andy and my assigned case manager, I was able to gain access to much needed physical rehabilitation support, prosthetics and mental support required. This was all dealt with through the 3rd parties insurance and Andy fought hard to ensure I got what I needed.
The process came to a quick conclusion in October 2024, with provisions made for my future care requirements. I could not have achieved this without Andy, and all the team at Higgs, support.
I was kept involved at all stages of the process and the communication was key to helping me not to worry about both the legal process and future impact of my injuries.
Andy and his team’s dedication to achieving a good outcome for myself and my family for my future care needs means that I can now return to living a fulfilling active life.
Thank you!

Excellent Service

I work in the legal industry and knew that Higgs had an excellent reputation in this area. Andy Shaw and his team did not disappoint. I found their help and support invaluable and their client service excellent.

Andy was at all times calm, assured, diligent, well organised, knowledgeable and put me at ease during what was quite a traumatic time. Andy kept me updated on a regular basis and progressed the case in the most efficient way he could. We recently reached a satisfactory settlement and Andy's considerable efforts played a large part in achieving this outcome. The more junior members of his team were also excellent.

I would strongly recommend Andy and his team at Higgs. Thank you.

Excellent Service

In theory it should have been straightforward but involving a Housing Association and District Council often requires extreme patience and dogged determination which both Lucie and Sidrah showed through the years it took to complete this small land purchase.

Highly recommend for boundary disputes

This review is for Nyree Applegarth and Lauren Moult who handled my boundary dispute with a neighboring property. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, their expertise and responsiveness were outstanding.
Nyree was exceptionally knowledgeable about property law and boundary disputes, explaining the legal process in a way that was easy to understand.
Both Nyree and Lauren always responded promptly to my inquiries, and provided clear and concise advice.
What stood out most was their proactive approach to resolving the dispute. They strongly negotiated on my behalf and explored mediation options.
The outcome of the case was a positive one, and I am very grateful for Nyree and Lauren’s dedication and hard work.
I would highly recommend Higgs LLP solicitors to anyone facing a boundary dispute.
