Based in Huddersfield town centre with its own car parking, and easy access from the M62 and M1 motorway network, Eaton Smith is large enough to enable clients to obtain specialised and effective legal help and support when required, yet small enough to retain the personal touch at a realistic and competitive cost.

Excellent Advice and Support

I would definitely recommend Irina as an employment law solicitor. Irina was very helpful, both in terms of her legal knowledge and how detail orientated and thorough she was. She was prompt when it came to responding to me and very realistic in her advice. Above all, Irina was professional but also very empathic and supportive. This really makes a difference when one is going through a difficult situation.

Megan made making my Will a very straight forward but thorough activity. She asked appropriate questions and made soundly based suggestions for my consideration, whilst always acting entirely in accordance with my wishes and instructions. I am happy that my affairs are now in order and I can get on with living my life to the full, with no concerns about how things will be handled in the event of my death (a very long time from now hopefully!).

Megan went into depth in a personal, but un-invasive, this made me feel that Megan covered every aspect of my legal requirements. Megan was also kind and considerate of my personal circumstance.

Would highly recommend her to anyone. 5 Star

Conveyancing is appauling.

Eaton Smith are the least responsive solicitors I've ever had the displeasure of coming across in 10 x purchases. In 3 days it will be 6 weeks waiting for a reply to basic queries (Eaton Smith represent my vendor). They took 2 months to forward the information pack (a pack that was already prepared from a previous purchaser who, I've been informed, pulled out because of Eaton Smiths poor service!)

I'll update this review as it progresses.

If this continues I'll be pulling out (unless the vendor uses a different solicitor - whom is NOT Eaton Smith!)
