Myself and my partner contacted Matthew Porter to enquire about making wills as we had just purchased our first house together. Matthew was very polite and friendly from the point of first contact. He made the whole process super easy and explained everything to us in terms that we understood. We won’t hesitate to use Eric Robinson again for any future legal matters and would definitely recommend them to our friends and family.

Excellent and very efficient service from all the staff at Hedge End. Matthew was very professional and patient. We did not feel at all rushed as he explained everything in detail.

Started process of selling joint owned home with Kate and later all business was passed to Nadine. We also had dealing with Matthew who completed his part of the process satisfactorily. Nadine picked everything up well and was very good at keeping us informed by e-mail/phone although we did notice the on-line progress checker was not updated.
