Highly knowledgeable and professional

We were referred to Sally due to an unexpected issue with a divorce some 27 years ago. This understandably caused us concern to receive such issue 27 years later. Sally immediately set us at ease. She explained everything calmly and provided much reassurance from the outset. Everything was dealt with in a professional and prompt manner. No question felt an issue. Our case was completed within the timeframe and estimate discussed. If we needed these services again we would not hesitate to call Sally and her team. Thank you so much for making a difficult time so much more pleasant than it could have been.

Profit Orientated company with slow/incapable solicitors

I spent £6500 for an easy divorce case and they weren't able to finish the job at all. Their hourly rate is lower than market but they are slower and has incapable solicitors ( at least my solicitor was) which doesn't help hourly charge. Their solicitor checked unsigned legal documents from other party and charged me twice once signed copy received. This must be simple number 1 rule that all legal documents must be signed before taking any action, You don't need to study law for years to learn such a fundamental rule. This is very much profit orientated law company, I would suggest anyone to avoid working with such a law firm at all costs, Go and find doubled hourly rate firm, I guarantee you they will finish your case at lower cost and quicker.

During what was without doubt the most difficult time of my life Gweni and her team provided a first class service in every aspect. Her knowledge, professionalism, advice and tenacity to stand up to the other sides demands was exemplary. At every step, Gweni was clear in her communication, strong willed but also empathetic when the stress of the process was a lot to deal with. I will always be grateful for Gweni’s (and her team’s) drive to ensure a positive outcome in the proceedings. A credit to her company and her profession.

Helping me with a Divorce

HRC Law was recommended to me by a family friend, in relation to a divorce. Sally and her team explained clearly, from the outset, when the process was and how much it would cost. They were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Divorce is difficult, so knowing that Sally was there to help, made a big difference.

Exemplary service

Fate led me to Gweni in HCRLaw and I am so grateful that I had Gweni supporting and guiding me through the complex legal systems. When a court order was placed on myself and the children, it syddenly felt like a scary situation. However, Gweni's rapid response and the recruitment of Counsel to represent me in such a short time frame got me through each hearing.This resulted in the best outcome I could have hoped for on behalf of the children's best interests. Throughout the whole process I was approached with kindness and advised clearly on next steps, potential issues and solutions. As aforementioned it was a complex case and I felt reassured the entire time. I will be forever thankful to Gweni and Daisy.

I can’t thank James Osbourne and Lauren Powell-Bateson enough for the support they have given me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication have been truly outstanding from start to finish. They guided me through every step with clear advice, patience, and genuine care, always making me feel supported and understood. Having solicitors who are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind and approachable made such a difference during a very challenging time. If you are looking for a family law solicitor, I would highly recommend James Osbourne and Lauren Powell-Bateson. They have been absolutely fantastic.

I was so impressed with HCR Law and could not have asked for better representation over the course of my divorce. Anita provided great clarity and reassurance in meetings and emails, she was also so professional and assertive in the family court. HCR succeeded in getting me the outcome I wanted.

I was represented by Fiona during family court proceedings for a specific issue and I could not recommend her enough, Fiona is very direct but also respectful and dedicated to her clients and work. She made the experience less stressful than i imagined. I would recommend Fiona to anyone! I hope we do not need to work together again in the nicest possible way as court is never nice for anyone, but if this was the case ever again I would be contacting Fiona! Thank you! X

Smooth handling of leasehold flat sale

We chose HCR, and specially Alison, to handle the sale of our flat after an incredibly positive experience with them during our house purchase. As with the purchase, we were kept informed throughout the process, and Alison handled all the paperwork with high attention to detail. Where there were enquiries made by the buyer, Alison helped us understand what the solicitor was needing from us, and kept us informed every step of the way about the legal implications of any replies. This sale included dealing with a company handling Ground Rent and another handling the Service Charge - and Alison made everything complete smoothly including settling out charges from these companies. She also facilitated a very fast (24 hour!) turnaround from exchange to completion once everything was in place. We were once again impressed with Alison and HCR and would look to appoint them in future legal matters.

My experience with HCR Law was mixed. There were some positive aspects and the transaction ultimately completed, but communication and follow-through were significant sources of frustration. Reviewing my correspondence, I identified at least five emails for which I could find no substantive written response, covering at least eight separate questions or actionable requests that were not clearly answered or completed in writing. On one particularly time-sensitive occasion, I had emailed the previous day and telephoned twice without a response, despite needing to exchange that week. I was also repeatedly asked to clarify or resupply financial information that HCR already held. On several occasions I explained that the relevant account statements and source-of-funds information had already been provided, but I was nevertheless required to go through the information again. Account administration after completion was particularly frustrating. HCR chased for money paid in June, the month after, when I provided the payment date and supporting statement again in July, and by September had to ask HCR to stop contacting me regarding monies already paid. We will see if they respect this now. I was also disappointed by the handling of specific instructions that mattered financially. These included my request to establish whether I could buy the blinds at the property and my instruction to seek a £10,000 reduction in the purchase price, following information found in the surveys. I believed this had been taken through to the sellers but it had not, which I only realised too late in the day ti challenge. From my perspective, these matters were not followed through adequately and this left me financially worse off. There were occasions when useful advice was provided, particularly around legal enquiries and the risks of proceeding without sufficient information. However, I felt that I had to monitor, chase and manage too much of the process myself. Better record-keeping, clearer responses and stronger ownership of client instructions would have made a considerable difference, as well as handover when holidays we taken. The process was a lot more painful than it needed to be, especially at the end. Verbatum: At least five emails to HCR for which I could find no substantive written response: 19 March 2026: I asked whether an end-of-April completion date was possible. 23 March 2026: I asked for an update on searches and timelines. 20 May 2026: I asked whether the relevant action could be completed that week or by the following Tuesday. Multiple requests for monies already paid: 10 June 2026: I replied to an account statement saying, “I believe these have been paid?” They did not respond, they then requested the money again. 13 July 2026: I explained that the charges had been paid on 26 May and attached the statement. They did not respond. Further account correspondence followed in September. 10 September 2026 I replied “Please stop emailing me regarding monies already paid”. They have again failed to respond.

They made what could have been a stressful and complicated process feel much more straightforward and manageable. Thanks Dionne! I really appreciated their attention to detail, clear communication, and willingness to answer all my questions. The support I received gave me confidence and peace of mind during the entire process. I would highly recommend HCR Law to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and friendly assistance with their immigration needs. Excellent service from start to finish!

Used Sarah Loveridge for the sale and purchase of property. She was a consummate professional throughout, despite having to deal with some less that competent solicitors in the chain. Can't recommend her highly enough. She also dealt with the sale of my brother's property and he had a similar experience
