Outstanding
Faultless from start to finish, always accessible, everything explained in detail, approachable and understanding.
Can't praise Holly enough, prior to Holly I had Dominic who was equally as good, Dominic left and my case was transferred to Holly who was truly brilliant.
Holly understood my worries and concerns and helped me reach the decision I needed.
Also had contact with John and Yasmine, who were also really supportive. Highly recommend this firm and have already given details to 2 friends who are now using this firm.
Everyone that works here has been brilliant, no faults.

Excellent guidance and support .
I have been dealing with John Hooper and team over a number of years during a very complicated and difficult divorce , culminating in the final court appearance this year , 2023.
At all times I have received clear advice and support in the best course of action , during this very difficult time.
I have needed and received backup , guidance and moral support too as well as empathy and straight forward advice .In court John Hooper is outstanding and I was very grateful to be represented by him.
It has been so comforting to know that John Hooper and Team have been there to support myself and my children through this experience every step of the way .
The outcomes we have gained have exceeded expectations and have enabled us to be financially independent .
I have recommended John Hooper to a number of friends and acquaintances and I would do the same to anyone who asked me for advice .

Everything and more
I can't thank the team enough for their work over the last few months.
From my initial enquiry to the final closure of the case, John Hooper Solicitors have been clear, professional, understanding, moved things forward promptly and for my case came within estimated budget range.
Meeting and working with Dominic and John, they both had a wonderful way of ensuring duty of care and advice to suit the circumstances. Thank you.
