How HCR Law Compares

This firm - 97%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Underpriced 0%

HCR Family Law Team - 5* Review

I wholeheartedly endorse James Osborne - Partner, HCR Family Law and his incredibly skilled solicitor team of Kelly and Lauren. Experiencing a separation and going through a challenging divorce is undoubtedly a tough ordeal. However, James and his team were a blessing during these difficult circumstances. James, Kelly, and Lauren approach their work with a strong emphasis on honesty, fairness, and a genuine concern for their client's well-being. Their advice is backed by their exemplary expertise in Family Law. If you need a team that prioritises their clients' best interests, I warmly endorse James and his Family Law team at HCR

Nadia and her team have been fantastic throughout. During such a stressful time in my life I really felt looked after. Emails were responded to and actioned very swiftly and if a conversation was required Nadia would make time for me. Although I felt heard and understood, moreover Nadia skilfully cut through the detail that wasn't relevant to the task in hand so that time and energy was spent wisely. I was represented robustly by Nadia but in a way that was fair minded and avoided needlessly inflaming the situation between both sides. I didn't overly focus on costs or hourly rates in my choice of Solicitor and I'm so pleased I didn't, Nadia and her team undoubtedly represent true value for money. I can't thank Nadia enough

Laura was excellent throughout the process. She kept me well informed without me needing to chase her. I always felt listened to and that she genuinely cared. I would definitely recommend Laura to others

Emma was very detailed when discussing my will and the various options available to me, whilst also being patient whilst I sorted the admin and got around to prioritising the final editing and signing. Would definitely recommend Emma and HCR to any others looking to get a will done.

Laura is incredibly knowledgeable in her field. Her valuable advice and level of professionalism throughout the conveyancing process relating to the sale of our property has been second to none. We will be purchasing another home in the not to distant future and will definitely be instructing Laura to deal with any future property transactions. We cannot recommend Laura highly enough.

Nadia at Harrison Clark Rickerbys and her team were amazing. They were recommended by another lawyer outside of the area and I’m so pleased I listened to them. Nothing was too much trouble for them and no question was stupid, they were patient, listened and provided support through what was a very stressful time. Nadia and her team guided me through my divorce, were able to advise on finances and parental agreement. Without their help I would not be in the position I am in now. I can’t recommended or thank them enough!
