DIVORCE

From the first phone call to Rebecca Patience regarding my divorce…I instantly felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel…Rebecca’s expertise and knowledge are outstanding from start to finish…I always looked forward to telephone conversations with Rebecca as it would be more like talking to a friend…rather than a business…this lady is a big jewel in a big crown and I could never of managed the divorce without her and I will always be forever thankful….i would also like to thank the buisness too for employing such a great person …also a thankyou to Rebecca’s colleagues that done other parts of my work there too.

Always a professional piece of mind

Rebecca Patience at Harrison Drury is absolutely wonderful. From the moment I initially contacted the solicitors she was always super efficient & professional. Communication is great and Rebecca is completely up to date with her knowledge and very punctual.
Instantly putting you at ease. She is a friendly, supportive and reliable solicitor and has provided us with great support. I really couldn’t recommend her higher. Thank you Rebecca & Harrison Drury & Co team

Conveyancing

We have used Harrison Drury for 14 years - the most recent was to sell and purchase our new home and yet again they have been outstanding throughout.
Amy Leslie (Lancaster) & Victoria McCann (Clitheroe) haven't had the easiest case, but they've remained professional throughout and given clear & concise advise at every step of they way.
Thank you, I cannot recommend Harrison Drury highly enough.

Fantastic service provided by Rebecca.

Recently used Rebecca Patience to obtain a prohibited steps order and and a child arrangment order which gave me a more favourable arrangement with my daughter than the previous arrangements. The process albeit was stressful, it was made so much easier having Rebecca's support and assistance. The level of dedication, effort and knowledge in her field of expertise shone through in all the correspondence she drafted. I hope I don't have to use Harrison Drury again in these circumstances, but will 100% recommend Rebecca to anyone who finds themselves in my situation, I will also look to use Harrison Drury if I ever need legal support in the future.

Bullying Tactics / Ruthless

I was advised from a friend to use these guys for a property we were looking to purchase, initially all was going well and the searches etc were all carried out. This was during Covid times and my business was doing well hence why we were in the fortunate position to buy a property.
Then literally overnight all imports and exports were stopped and my business literally went bump overnight, and we lost everything.
Needless to say that we were no longer able to purchase the house through no fault of our own just a victim of circumstance. We are a large than average family with 5 x kids and me and Mrs. Since then they have done nothing but hound me and my mrs to get money from us to which we have explained several times the circumstances and offered several different amounts in order to pay this off, all of which have been rejected by them, now bullying tactics of getting a high court order and collectors knocking on my door of my family home to take goods from my family. Totally and utterly shocking bullying behaviour picking on a family who have literally lost everything. AVOID @ ALL COSTS

House Sale

Janka and her team at Harrison Drury acted in relation to the sale of our house . The whole process was very smooth and we were kept well informed throughout. I would recommend Janka and her team for residential conveyancing work.

Divorce and Guidance

I needed re-assurance that my solicitor would look after me and my interests. Janine filled that role completely, keeping me informed and guiding things along to an acceptable conclusion. I felt confident moving forward through divorce, knowing the professionalism from Janine, Harrison Drury and the team had experience in abundance to achieve the acceptable outcome of the divorce. I have since used Harrison Drury to write my will, and now regard them as my solicitors of choice. I would highly recommend their services.

I was recommended Harrison Drury by another firm who no longer undertook commercial work. Lucy, from introduction to completion has been great. Keeping me updated as the process went along and responding promptly to queries. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.

I was lured into the trap from an exiting solicitor within another firm as this solicitor started employment with HD private massages and calls thinking she was a friend but lured me in. All the time it was sell sell do this do that due to ill health i could not even think correctly then when i end my time with HD as a client a bill turns up saying i asked them to work for me on my behalf within a family matter and i never did but only at the end did they send there client care letter asking me to sign please avoid these people they are good people out there helping fathers of young children this frim would rather keep working into your weaknesses to strive above financially of course. anyone know how to put voice messages to this to show how they act I recorded all the phone calls well my phone did legally i cannot use this evidence but who shot the messenger Updates to follow ............
