Nearly 5 stars but change of lawyer means it’s too early to give 5

4

We have been dealing with an issue for a while now and due to our lawyer moving on to another firm we were handed over to Matthew Cotton. At our request Matthew came to visit us as we hadn't met in person. This was far the best decision as he really needed to see the layout of things to get a better physical picture of the case. Much is always missed and miss understood in written descriptions which was evident in our case. As soon as Matthew had had a walk round you could see things became much clearer in his mind as to the correct way to move forward and he quickly set to work with us defining a clear path forward. His approach was quite refreshing and he left us feeling very relieved that he is representing us. There is still some way to go but I am confident that he will steer this to an amicable conclusion so all parties involved can put it behind them.

Fantastic outcome

5

Matthew Cotton dealt with a dispute I had with my siblings regarding a co-owned property. He was excellent throughout the process from start to finish and kept me fully informed, allowing me to make informed decisions. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. Matthew demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He achieved a fantastic outcome regarding settlement and costs; I could not have hoped for more. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Diligent and clear

5

From the outset, Matthew listened carefully and gained a firm grasp of the issues. Then, he offered clear advice and drew up a plan which was followed through diligently until everything was resolved. He was particularly skilled at drafting documents. I would work with him again.

Redundancy Package Review

5

I would highly recommend Matthew Cotton who undertook a comprehensive review of my redundancy package in a very limited timeframe.
Matthew really took the time to understand my situation, explain the multiple clauses included within the redundancy package and made recommendations on additional questions l should ask.
I very much appeciated Matthews calm and methodical approach during a very stressful time.

Boundary Dispute

5

I recently exchanged on our new house, but days before completion I noticed a problem with one of the property's boundaries not being in the right place. My conveyancing solicitor recommended the services of Matthew Cotton, who works as a dispute resolution expert for Hedges. Matthew's timely help and sage advice was pivotal. We were able to complete the purchase successfully, whilst at the same time ensuring we were protected both legally and financially for the the future. Money well spent.
