Outstanding service!

5

I recently contacted Nicola Hartley from Henry Hyams in relation to setting up Lasting Power of Attorney for my mother. From that first contact to the conclusion of business I found her a pleasure to deal with.

Nicola took her time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, ensuring that I was fully informed and comfortable throughout. She was able to answer any question I had immediately, displaying an obvious mastery of her craft.

She displayed professionalism, humility and empathy in equal measure which is a rare quality.

I have no hesitation in recommending Henry Hyams and Nicola in particular, she is a credit to the firm!

will writing

5

My wife and i wanted to have our wills written but were unsure who to choose. my mobile phone was being bombarded with offers to write them with many variations on price. we decided to go with october will month which required a donation to a local hospice. there were several solicitor firms listed which would provide this service. alas we had left it late and most of the firms were up to capacity and couldnt help. it was looking dire but then i rang HENRY HYAMS OXFORD HOUSE OXFORD ROW and the phone was answered by a lovely lady called NICOLA HARTLEY . this ladys telephone manner was very welcoming and pleasant, Nicola made an appointment for my wife and i a few days later and it all went very smoothly. this lady was very reassuring, knew her job and explained everything in terms we could understand, a credit to the company. THANK YOU NICOLA. I have no personal connection to this firm, but i do strongly appreciate good service, So if you are contemplating having a will written i can highly recommend HENRYHYAMS.

writing a new Will

5

I needed to write a new Will due to changed circumstances. A Senior Paralegal in Henry Hyams
Wills & Probate Department was superb in helping me consider the issues I faced. She was endlessly patient with my need to consider different aspects and to make changes! She really checked to ensure I fully understood the implications of the clauses in the draft Will. She checked the draft Will with the Solicitor, to ensure its validity, before it was signed.

Nicola was the para legal dealing with my late father’s Will & Probate. I would highly recommend her services. She made a difficult time much easier and was always on hand to answer our questions and came back with quick responses.
We were more than happy with the way everything was handled and would not hesitate using the company again. Thank you Nicola and colleagues.

I had to apply for a further leave to remain in September 2022, and I had the pleasure of working with my solicitor, Nicola Hartley, who was professional, honest, and kept me fully informed of the required documentation throughout the process. I had direct contact with her, and she was quick to respond to my phone, email, and in-person inquiries. She is a lovely person who is easy to understand and to work with. I was able to obtain my further leave to remain residence permit in less than a month thanks to her services, and I highly recommend her services and the firm to anyone going through immigration applications. I have been a loyal customer since 2019, and I will continue to use their services in the future.
