Avoid - should not be practicing

Incompetent. Do not deliver as per their Terms and Conditions. Costs excessive and questionable. Communication shocking. Do not like complaints and do not handle fairly. Have taken up with the Legal Ombudsman.

Not a man to be trusted
Mediation attitude is arrogant and self centred
No regard to looking after his customers
Complaint handling is arrogant and in the dark ages keeping information from clients

Application for Deputyship

I found Anthony of AJC to be most helpful with the application for deputyship. His attention to detail, I think speeded up the process as much as could be expected, in very trying times. I would have no hesitation in using AJC again. I would rate AJC as highly recommended.

Leanne and the team at Hethertons have just completed our house sale. All done on a very tight timescale. We have been kept informed and guided through the entire process. From our experience we can't recommend Hethertons and especially Leanne highly enough. Thank you

We have just purchased our first home and Leanne was our conveyancing solicitor. She was excellent from start to finish and was always available promptly via email or phone call. We will definitely recommend her and the service at Hethertons. Thanks again! 😊

They are in the UK. I'm in Australia. So apart from others using the business, I have had very little to do with them. They have been good and helpful on the phone during the matter they are dealing with.
