We dealt with the same solicitor on both the sale of our property and then a year later the sale of my Fathers property. Our solicitor was a pleasure to deal with, very helpful, extremely knowledgeable and kept me informed.
I found Hewitt's as a company very professional and value for money and I would highly recommend them.

Excellent and professional service. Mrs Alicia Nesham helped us with our LP of Attorney explaining all aspects in a clear, understandable and personable way. Also contacted our previous solicitors and went beyond what could have been expected without being asked, very impressed with the service given.

Ben from Hewitts fought tirelessly for my case. This was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities involved but his strategic thinking and bold advocacy helped me achieve a favourable outcome. He was patient, professional and friendly providing an

I was in a motor vehicle accident and was injured resulting in being off work .we called Hewitts for advice and was subsequently told we could make a claim for injuries and loss of earnings.
From the start Ben Green was very professional and straight to the point.
Thankfully we won the case with an out of court settlement.
Thank you to the whole team at Hewitts

We used Hewitts conveyancing services for both our house sale and purchase. Our solicitor Danielle Sullivan was absolutely fantastic throughout. Despite Danielle and her secretary Jasmin Dolan being exceptionally busy, and working in the middle of a pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, they always had time to answer any questions we had, and gave us regular updates, providing professional advice and reassurance through what is a very stressful time. Highly recommend 🌟

awful! A serious lack of communication to keep their customer up to date and you as the customer have to continuously chase for them and still never got a response Would strongly not recommend in any way, use a different firm research first

Many people are reluctant to speak to solicitors for a number of reasons but unnecessary delays can make the situation worse. As part of Hewitts commitment to our clients, we offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your problem and explain where you stand. If we believe legal proceedings are not in your best interests we will advise you not to go ahead. If you have a case, and wish to proceed, we will give you a clear quote of the cost. And if your case is eligible for legal aid you can leave the arrangements to us.
