I had the absolute pleasure of using THP for a complex divorce following a recommendation. I can honestly say working with Julia Drury and Sophie was incredible. I can’t put in to words how understanding, supportive, effective and efficient she was. The pace Julia operated at and the commitment she showed, even staying in the office until 6:30pm on a Friday to give me the good news everything was completed in record time was brilliant.

You hear so many horror stories, but I can 100% say that this experience was FIRST CLASS.

I can very solidly recommend THP. I think I have started using the term ‘my solicitors’ when talking about them. I don’t normally leave reviews, but after a recent (difficult) house sale, both the solicitors and estate agent deserved one. Until about 10 years ago I had only used a solicitor once or twice for conveyancing and I guess you take whoever comes your way. Since then, I have had redundancy, an employment contract dispute, a consent order, probate and more conveyancing.
I have always dealt with women at THP, I don’t think I would want to change that now. They have all been superbly efficient, human, personable, tolerant, professional, knowledgeable, timely, communicative and most importantly reassuring. If it had been man to man, I am not sure we could have or would have dealt with things in quite the same way, if I am honest.
The employment contract dispute was sorted by Alexis Lane within a free ½ hour consultation. In, out, I was in the right, no debate, company stumped up. It was a trifling amount, but a moral victory on principle.
Julia Drury dealt with my consent order. I had already consulted another prominent female local solicitor who specializes in divorce and the difference in approach was marked. With Julia, there was no ‘blood & guts’, whipping into a frenzy of hate where only the solicitors win, which is why I chose her. A divorce is already a hard enough situation to be in. I felt that she held my hand throughout the process and gave good steer on what was practical and achievable, never over promising. The outcome was as good as I could hope for and she kept me grounded during a difficult time.
Conveyancing for a probate sale recently was dealt with by Emily Jones, who is a funny and approachable force of nature (and also couldn’t have been more highly recommended by the estate agent I used). She was ahead of the game all the way through. I had to make a difficult decision at the 11th hour after months of waiting for buyers. Emily acted exactly as I requested, but I also found out later from a separate source that she had quite strongly defended my decision and approach with her counterpart for the buyers – not sure you can get much more onside than that and all I can say is that I am glad she was on my team!
I have come out all of these situations feeling that I have had a fair outcome and they have done their best for me.
Typically, I got quotes for the larger pieces of work before starting, if I need a solicitor in future I am unlikely to bother. THP aren’t the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but for me, they were the correct option and with hindsight offered good value. No one wants to deal with a solicitor - it typically means something sh*tty is happening in your life. You have no real way of knowing who you are choosing and how they are going to treat you……….which is why I wrote the review.
