ABV Solicitors - Exceptional Service from Claire Hewitt

5

I recently had the privilege of working with ABV Solicitors, specifically Claire Hewitt, who handled my case with utmost professionalism and intelligence. Over the course of the last five years, Claire provided a complete package of legal services, going above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my case was handled meticulously.

From the initial stages, Claire showcased her expertise by diligently selecting an exceptional Barrister with specialised knowledge in the relevant field and carefully collecting essential statements. She went the extra mile by obtaining expert witness statements from technical experts, ensuring that our case was well-supported with credible evidence. Claire's attention to detail and her ability to collate all the necessary information for trial readiness were truly impressive.

Throughout the entire engagement, Claire and her team maintained an exceptional level of professionalism. Their dedication and commitment were evident, even during the most challenging times. My wife initially discovered ABV Solicitors through an internet search, seeking initial advice. Claire not only provided the necessary legal guidance but also offered moral support, guiding my wife in the right direction.

Given the complexity of the legal arguments involved, our case went through a trial and even a retrial over the span of five years. However, with Claire by our side, I felt completely supported from start to finish. She managed my expectations effectively, ensuring that every pertinent fact was thoroughly examined.

What truly sets Claire apart is her unwavering determination to ensure that every piece of the puzzle was meticulously linked together, leaving no loose ends. She left no room for surprises in court and made sure we were thoroughly prepared. I can confidently say that there is no other legal team I would recommend more highly. My experience with ABV Solicitors and Claire Hewitt has been nothing short of life changing.

I am immensely grateful for the outstanding service provided by Claire and her team at ABV Solicitors. Their professionalism, intelligence, and comprehensive legal services have far exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, Claire's infectious positive energy served as a tremendous source of support, providing us with the strength and resilience needed to navigate every step with confidence.

If you need expert legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend ABV Solicitors and specifically request Claire Hewitt. You won't be disappointed.
