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.

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.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Excellent experience with Mike Walsh

We would recommend Mike Walsh as a criminal defence solicitor without hesitation. He guided my dad and our family through an incredibly difficult couple of years with professionalism and compassion. Mike took the time to fully understand the case, and that preparation was evident on the day in court when we achieved a not guilty verdict. Throughout the entire process, he kept us well informed and explained everything clearly. He was especially patient with my dad, who at 66 found some aspects of the legal process difficult to follow, always taking the time to ensure he felt comfortable and informed. On the day in court, we couldn't have asked for a more confident, knowledgeable, and capable solicitor. Thank you, Mike. We are incredibly grateful for everything you did for our family.

Achieving a positive outcome is always important, but ensuring our clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the process is equally valuable. Your comments will mean a great deal to Mike and the wider team. Thank you again for placing your trust in Henry Hyams, and we wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Excellent legal advice 10/10

I cannot recommend the Crime Department at Henry Hyams Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, the support I received was professional, responsive and reassuring during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Sophie Burkill was outstanding throughout the case. She always kept me informed, explained everything clearly, and treated me with respect and empathy at every stage. I’d also like to thank Mike Walsh for his guidance and support. The whole team demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail and genuine commitment to achieving the right outcome. Following a lengthy and stressful police investigation, the matter concluded with No Further Action. Having a legal team that believed in me, listened carefully, and worked tirelessly on my behalf made a huge difference. If you are looking for experienced, approachable and dedicated criminal defence solicitors, I would have no hesitation in recommending Henry Hyams. Thank you again to Sophie, Mike and everyone involved for all of your hard work and support.

Henry Hyams were fantastic from the start right through to completion of my house purchase. They acted swiftly across all areas and advised expertly throughout. Emily and Zaynab were fantastic in handling the conveyance and replied to my queries in excellent time. I was very impressed with how they conducted the conveyance and were proactive in providing next steps, advice and timelines. They were excellent value too as they were quite a bit cheaper than other rival legal firms. I would highly recommend Henry Hyams for conveyancing.
