Bankruptcy and eviction

I was advised to get in touch with Karen Dring at HCB Solicitors, Solihull after my husband was made bankrupt and my family were evicted from our home. I can not speak highly enough of Karen and her work on my behalf. She was extremely professional when dealing with both myself and the bankruptcy solicitors, who were less than co-operative. She kept me informed and updated every step of the way, even replying to my emails out of office hours. At a time when I have never been so emotionally and mentally fragile, I felt supported by Karen and reassured to have her on my side. I would fully recommend HCB Solicitors and in particular Karen Dring.

Awful service

I have been dealing with Hcb for several years. The initially coerced me into dealing with them in 2011 in conjunction with a dubious insolvency practitioner. Hcb told lie after lie and acted in an extremely negligent and unprofessional manner. Over the course of several years they have taken tens of thousands of pounds in a manner which I and other legal professionals believe to be fraudulent. Furthermore, hcb now refuse to cooperate with myself or others representing me, they are rude and ignorant and act completely unprofessionally; putting the phone down, not responding to emails.

I would strongly advise anyone considering using Hcb to look elsewhere, they provide an appaling and unprofessional service and when things go wrong they'll refuse to cooperate in order to cover their own tracks. I'd also suggest you view there company profile online as things don't add up, definitely not something you'd expect from a solicitor or an accountant.

A careful hand through a stressful time

This review is for a different branch.

My partner and I recently purchased our first home and we were assisted by Louise Palmer.

Louise was always on hand to answer the (admittedly numerous) queries we had, and helped us when the purchase became very difficult. She was very good at managing our expectations, and sharing in our joy when we finally completed.

I would recommend using HCB Solicitors, and would highly recommend Louise.

Outstanding service

This review is for a different branch.

Professional and helpful right from the beginning. They set out clear terms of engagement and explained the process in detail. The buyers solicitors we’re not forthcoming but Jayne and the team worked hard to chase the required info from all parties. They kept us regularly updated throughout. We are now engaging them to oversee the purchase of our new house. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and Professionalism

This review is for a different branch.

Samantha Marandi and Becky German worked above and beyond to ensure the sale and completion of our property was done in quick time even with problems occuring from the beginning on the original buyers end and redirecting to a new buyer with deadlines to meet. Samantha even took her own time in annual leave to ensure our sale was completed on the final day which we are forever grateful. I cannot recommend HCB Solicitors enough and any future services required will be directly with them. We now have our dream home because of the work from Samantha and Becky. Thank you.

DO NOT USE THIS SOLICITORS

This review is for a different branch.

When I first used this company I had a solicitor called Rachael she was amazing however she left the company and I wasn’t given another solicitor nobody updated me, contacted me or even responded to my emails. Months had gone by and the solicitors were not doing anything I ended up pulling out of buying the property. When I emailed the solicitor to tell them they still didn’t even respond to my email I had to actually ask the estate agent what happened. When I emailed the solicitors complaining about the lack of contact and work they had done a man named Raja Khan emailed me saying he had taken my case months before I had never been informed of this and in all that time I had not received one email about anything when I explained this to him he proceed to lie saying he tried to call me 3 times the month before which he hadn’t. I am very upset with everything that went on with this company and feel I was treated badly.

Making new wills

This review is for a different branch.

I had been a client of Billson and Sharp, now HCB, and had a close relationship since 1976 with my solicitor Patrick Cleaver, who has now retired. I needed to make new wills for myself and my wife and solicitor Emma Gardner was able to do this swiftly and efficiently in spite of the restrictions imposed by the Covid situation The process was handled extremely well and I am very pleased that the new company has retained the values and friendly atmosphere of the previous one.
