    High Standards With A Personable Approach

    Highly recommend Nicola Hartley at Henry Hyams for will preparation. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and patient, taking the time to explain complex legal jargon in simple, plain language, making the entire process efficient and stress-free. She listened carefully to my wishes and structured everything perfectly and that is the key standard for a very important decision document. Furthermore the turn-around time for the draft and final documents was fantastic. A Five-star service! As I say, I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sort out their estate.

    Late Uncles Estate

    I found Nicola Hartley to be professional, respectful, compassionate regarding the delicate situation in a family bereavement. She followed my Uncle's last wishes with integrity. They untook the whole process, which took alot of pressure from family members as the executors lived in Scotland.

    Review Henry Hyams

    Henry Hyams was engaged to deal with the probate of a family member, Nicola Hartley was our primary contact. Nicola dealt with us in a timely, efficient and professional manner. Emails were our primary form of contact, paperwork and forms were explained clearly. There was regular communication and updates and at no time did we have to chase details on the progress.

    I was very happy with the work done in my case by Henry Hyams, I felt like they represented good value for money Mike Walsh, who is a director, was extremely approachable, knowledgeable and also very understanding, actually a pleasure to spend time with, unlike most other solicitors I have known. If I ever need legal assistance again Mike will be my 1st point of call.

    We used Henry Hyams for two successive Probate applications for my late parents and were supported throughout the processes by Nicola Hartley who was fantastic to work with. Her knowledge and experience came to the for navigating the various court and tax issues and led to us having a good outcome. She was very responsive to questions that we had and gave us the confidence that we were in very safe hands and managed the whole process efficiently and with high levels of professionalism. I can't recommend Nicola highly enough for dealing with Estates matters.

    Thank you for your 5 star review and kind words following the experience with Nicola regarding the probate applications for your parents.
