Excellent service

I went to JH as they had local branches and great reviews. I’m so glad I did. Charlotte was exceptionally helpful and knowledgable when writing our new Wills. Appointments were timely, as scheduled and service was prompt. I have full faith that we have found our long term legal practice to assist in all areas of business that may arise in the future. I recommended them to my sister who also had a great experience with Charlotte at JH @ St John’s Leicester.

Coventry Flat Sale

I was a customer of Kelly & Co when they merged with Josiah Hicks, which was in the middle of my sale. I have been using Kelly and Co for a few years and I am pleased to say the service I received this time was just as friendly, efficient and reasonably priced as it has been in the past. Lucie Clayson was dealing with my sale and she always comes back to me promptly if I email or leave a telephone message.
