Matt Gillett really kept me at ease, demonstrated true professionalism with enough of a human touch! The process was easy, comfortable and helped me understand in clear terms the process I was assisted with!

I unfortunately had a very negative experience with HCRLaw . My case progressed at an excruciatingly slow pace, largely due to their lack of proactivity. The failure to address essential documents in a timely manner, leaving it until the very end, resulted in significant delays and considerable unnecessary stress.
Communication was also a major issue. Getting hold of them was near impossible; calls frequently went unanswered, and I was constantly left chasing for updates. Even when they did promise to get back to me, they rarely followed through.
Overall, I found their service to be incredibly inefficient and frustrating. If you are looking for a solicitor who is responsive, proactive, and values your time, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

I deal with many different Solicitors in my professional and domestic life. I find the conveyancing department at HCR, Cheltenham very efficient and they offer good value for money. Not the cheapest, but always carried out professionally, promptly keeping me informed throughout the process and always available by telephone and email. Thank you Sarah, Caroline, Emily and team.

I have used the services provided by HCR Legal LLP, and everything was smooth and clear.
In particular Matt Gillett's level of communication and explanation was excellent, which made the entire process stress-free and successful. I will definitely use their services again in the future if needed.

Sarah is a truly wonderful solicitor !
Going through the process of purchasing my first home with my partner would have been completely different without Sarah! Sarah is extremely efficient, reliable and kind.
During the purchase Sarah was always on hand to answer any of our concerns or queries no matter what they were.
We were updated regularly and never felt we had to chase for anything as Sarah was always ahead of the game. In turn making the entire process run smoothly.
I would recommend Sarah as a brilliant conveyancing lawyer to anyone wishing to buy or sell a property!

First class solicitor for all your residential property matters. Sarah is a fantastic lawyer with top tier comms. She has approached everything exceptionally professionally, whilst with warmth, and has secured a very fast transaction for both my sale and our purchase. Straight talking, tenacious, reliable, friendly and all round lovely to deal with. We can't thank her enough. Both myself and my fiancé highly recommend Sarah!

Had dealings with this "solicitors" who in no way know the law, very very badly advised me which ended up costing me a lot of money due to that bad advice. Pretty much just told me what I wanted to hear to get me to use their services.

What a marvellous lady Laura is. Attention to detail and getting the job done despite the challenges. I haven’t come across a better more professional expert in her field.

Throughout the whole process leading up to the hearing it was clear that Nicola Wheater is an exceptional professional - sharp-minded with a strong attention to detail and a patient manner which has never gone unnoticed. Nicola was pragmatic, intelligent and calm - all qualities which have been appreciated. Nicola Wheater and Valerie Charbit (Counsel - Red Lion Chambers) were a fine team offering much reassurance to our organisation at an emotionally difficult time....

I was represented by Fiona during family court proceedings for a specific issue and I could not recommend her enough, Fiona is very direct but also respectful and dedicated to her clients and work. She made the experience less stressful than i imagined. I would recommend Fiona to anyone!
I hope we do not need to work together again in the nicest possible way as court is never nice for anyone, but if this was the case ever again I would be contacting Fiona!
Thank you! X

I was recently advised by Zoe Touhey, assisted by Matt Hanson, on a residential property purchase. Both Zoey and Matt were responsive, explained everything clearly and even managed to keep me calm when the other side were completely hopeless. Heartily recommend them.

Very knowledgeable and proactive.
I've used the HCR residential property services several time and each time I was impressed with the level of support I received. Everything flowed easily and each step was explained to me along with what's next and timescales.
