In 1930 our founder Henry Hyams opened a small office in Leeds to serve the local community. Understanding the difficulties facing ordinary people and businesses he developed a general practice offering legal services with a strong emphasis on justice and fair play. From that small office the business expanded to become a leading legal practice in the city centre, building on an ethos of hard work and client focussed advice. Those core principles upon which Henry built his practice remain the focus of the service we provide today. Fast, efficient, yet caring, we will use all our skills, experience and resources to help you achieve the best possible outcome. From personal injury to property; regulatory prosecution to driving offences; divorce to immigration, we offer the same high quality service to private and commercial clients alike. Read more...

Henry Hyams Solicitors made buying my first home a smooth and stress-free experience. Michael and Vanda were fantastic throughout—clear, professional, and supportive every step of the way. I also really appreciated the consistent help from Beverley, whose updates and guidance kept things moving. Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend these solicitors, they supported me through the whole time and made me feel at ease with court and even after court. Nothing was ever to much to ask. Any questions I had or wasn’t sure about they would answer and explained it.

Ms Shahnaz clearly didn’t know what she was doing. She did not understand the pernicious nature of domestic abuse, was so nervous in court that she could barely speak, did not explain any of the procedures I was being subject to, and as a result left both me and my daughter open to my ex-husband’s abuse for years after my marriage ended. Under her ‘legal guidance’ my daughter was removed from my care and left exposed to ex husband’s behaviour, without any other adult protecting her. My daughter has suffered immense and indescribable harm because she failed to represent my case in court. Fortunately I found a decent solicitor and my daughter is back with me now.

The lady I dealt with was very professional and helpful from my initial contact via phone to preparation of a draft will to meeting in person to go through the content of the will and it's ramifications. This was not my first such document but even had it been she put me through it in very precise detail and her advice was much appreciated.

The 5 stars are for Nicola Hartley, as is this review. Her professionalism and determination to resolve a long-standing stalemate between executors enabled a resolution to the matter. I hope that Henry Hyams appreciate the work Nicola has done, and ensures she is justly rewarded for her efforts. I only wish Nicola had been dealing with this right from the start.
I would give Henry Hyams 3 stars, and that is generous. They initially sent letters to my old postal address, even though I had sent my new address to them by email before any correspondence was sent out. There was no drive, desire or determination to progress proceedings, and no advice offered to move things forward. Mistakes were made along the way, and while these may not have been deliberate, it became increasingly frustrating to deal with them.
A representative from Henry Hyams Limited responded to this review on 21 March, 2025:
Thank you for the five star review regarding the service you received from Nicola and we certainly recognise her efforts, professionalism and determination. We are disappointed to read that your overall experience prior to Nicola taking over the matter, if it not the service we wish for people to experience and we do take the issue of post being sent to an incorrect address seriously. If you would like to discuss further please contact the office and request to speak to the Practice Manager..

Nicola Hartley handled our sister's Will and Probate after her death. She was superb. Always calm, professional and sympathetic in the way she handled every aspect of our case.
She worked on a fee basis, as opposed to percentage of the value of the estate, so she was great value to. an't speak highly enough of the service we have received.
A representative from Henry Hyams Limited responded to this review on 09 December, 2024:
Thank you Andrew for your review of the service you have received from Nicola, and the comments regarding how sympathetic, calm and professional Nicola was during the process of dealing with your sisters probate, at a understandably a difficult time.
