Custody case client.

Jess was a fantastic support during our custody case battle. She was thorough and professional and gave us her full commitment. She truly cared and we could not have asked for a better team. We would not hesitate in using her services again or recommending her to friends. We are so grateful for her hard work.

POA, Title Deeds.

I have used another solicitor in town and it was hard work as they just didn't seem to be listening to what I needed. Hains & Lewis were the polar opposite and I am now using them for the third time. If this were the olympics then it's a GOLD from me.
