ReviewSolicitors - NA/607764/1

Engaging Higgs was my first experience instructing a firm of solicitors. I contacted them to outline the nature of my charity’s dispute and to request an estimate for amending the organisation’s Particulars of Claim (POC), which had been drafted incorrectly. I expected, particularly at an early stage of the engagement, and on the assumption that this was standard practice, that a solicitor would speak with me directly to ensure a full and accurate understanding of the issues based on the information initially provided. This was not the case. A significant portion of the initial fee quoted was used to review a batch of documents received from the defendants’ solicitors. An additional fee was required to complete the amended Particulars of Claim. Before Higgs was able to proceed with drafting the amendment, the defendants’ solicitors filed an application to strike out the claim, which the court accepted, in part because the amended Particulars of Claim had not been filed. It then became pointless continuing with the amendment. Although the advice I received on my charity’s position was helpful, the engagement was not as I expected. On reflection, I would have insisted on a meeting or direct conversation with the solicitor much earlier in the process. This would have allowed me to ask questions, clarify key points, and address any potential gaps in their understanding of the claim. It may also have ensured they fully appreciated the merits of the case beyond what could be conveyed through documents or brief email exchanges. Additionally, I would have stressed receiving the amended POC was a priority as initially instructed. I noted that the defendants’ solicitor adopted a highly creative approach in constructing arguments to undermine or dismiss our claim, including advancing assertions and inferences that were, in my view, unfounded. While I fully appreciate that solicitors must act with integrity and cannot engage in any form of dishonesty, which I would never expect or want, I had anticipated that my own representatives would adopt an equally robust and imaginative approach in identifying legitimate arguments to strengthen our case. I believe this approach could have been explored had direct conversations taken place.

from Higgs LLP

19/01/2026

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Emily. We’re glad the advice on your charity’s position was helpful, but we regret that communication and handling of the amended Particulars of Claim did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your reflections on the importance of early, direct discussions and will use your comments to improve our approach to client communication and case management. We wish you and your charity every success moving forward.

Extremely Professional & Quick!

I have been using Gurvinder for all of my property purchases and sales for the past 12–13 years, and I genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else. His professionalism, attention to detail, and efficiency are second to none. Gurvinder is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and accurate in everything he does. He is always quick to respond, keeps me updated throughout the process, and ensures that every transaction runs as smoothly as possible. His ability to deal with matters promptly and efficiently gives me complete confidence, which is why I continue to return to him time and time again. Over the years, I have recommended Gurvinder to many family members and friends, and every one of them has been equally impressed with the exceptional service they have received. It's rare to find a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely reliable and approachable. If you're looking for a solicitor who is professional, responsive, meticulous, and truly cares about providing an outstanding service, I cannot recommend Gurvinder highly enough. Thank you for your continued support over the years—I look forward to working with you for many more to come.

When my elderly Grandmother was receiving palliative care at home two absent family members appeared to help to look after her. My Mother who lived with her and was her sole carer was suddenly set upon and we were locked out of her property. The Police and Social Services did nothing to help us. We then received a sympathy card through the post.. She had passed away. We then discovered that she has been financially abused by people that she thought she could trust. Her property was left to my Mother. We had to break in to discover that they had looted the place, everything had gone. After several failed attempts at contacting her Doctor (my own GP) to ask what had happened I was informed that this firm would help get that information for me. I felt positive after an introductory meeting here. I have no other family to turn to, no support, no help. This firm was our only hope. I have since being bombarded with bills, threats of bailiffs, court action and debt collecting companies. I have been forced into setting up an account that I shouldn’t have simply due to lack of communication being unable to ask or get advice from anyone. My Mother is vulnerable and suffering from a complete mental breakdown. I have received no communication with anyone since December 2024. I tried to reach out to one of our solicitors recently but was told my query would be passed onto the other solicitor who is handling our case. My Mother has paid this man, we received the bills from him. After asking I received no response again. We then received an e-mail stating that his hourly rates would be increasing. Nobody has responded after being told my query would be passed on as this was in November. I can honestly say I have been pushed to the brink and have been at my wits end with all of this. Not only is my experience absolutely horrendous but the authorities and the people who I thought were here to help me are letting me down also. This is almost as dispiriting as the events that have occurred. I am devastated at the complete lack of support and feel that everyone was extremely helpful and supportive until we signed up. Now we are in the dark and have been for a long time. I’m devastated and completely broken. I don’t think people realise just what their service means to people and the impact (whether it’s good or bad) this can have on their lives. I’m even sorry that I’ve had to write this review to be honest. Ps I gave two stars as the lady that did my Mothers Power of Attorney was lovely and so helpful. Everything that a solicitor should be in my opinion.

26/01/2026

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry to hear about the distressing situation you and your mother have faced. We take your concerns about communication, billing, and support seriously and will review your feedback to improve how we assist vulnerable clients. We’re glad the assistance with the Power of Attorney was helpful, and we will use your experience to ensure all aspects of our service meet the standard our clients deserve. Kind regards, Higgs LLP
