I needed advice regarding a tenancy issue. Mitchell was very helpful and professional, he gave good clear and concise advice that I could understand. He listened to my concerns and was very friendly and easy to talk to. I felt much better about my situation after speaking with Mitchell.

I dealt with Bhavik on the restrictions to my future activities on terminating my role with my employer. The advice given was clear and provided in a timely manner. I found Bhavik particularly helpful, maintaining a good level of communication and responsiveness to my questions. He was great and you should consider him an asset to Josiah Hincks.

It was a pleasure to again instruct Jess to be our conveyancing solicitor. She handled the necessary paperwork efficiently for both our sale and purchase. So much so that we were ready to proceed before others in our chain which took away some of the stress of moving. We would thoroughly recommend her and her firm of solicitors to friends and family.

Absolutely terrible solicitors.
I can't go in to specific details as to the case but these clowns were slow to get anything done, rude, and caused unneccesary worry and stress. Awful service. DO NOT USE!

A huge thank you to Trisha of Josiah Hincks for overseeing both the sale of our previous house and the purchase of our new house. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received.

We found Trisha incredibly proactive, efficient, thorough and absolutely superb at keeping us updated throughout the process.

Thank you for everything and we look forward to working with you again.

AVOID. Chantelle was honestly the rudest person I have ever come across. A real discredit to your company.

I spoke to multiple solicitors for quotes and all of them were so lovely. From the first time speaking to Chantelle, she was completely rude and unwilling to help. I have a trail of emails showing how rude she was- when all I was doing was asking for support and relevant questions. In an already stressful situation, it made me feel so uncomfortable, and anxious. I have never been in a situation like this before, where someone is openly rude and arrogant. I asked a question to which she responded ‘I’m not payed to answer that’ and then constantly avoiding answering any questions. She double booked me originally and then when I couldn’t make the new appointment, she blamed me saying they’ve ’accommodated me’- despite double booking me in the first place.

I ended up un-appointing them, purely based on the attitude of Chantelle. The reception staff were lovely- it was just Chantelle only- so a real shame one staff member can portray your company in such a negative light. I tried asking for another solicitor and Chantelle said there was no one else???? That doesn’t seem right to me. Hence why I ended up un -appointing them as a whole.

Disgusting service and I believe which ever senior sees this, has a proper look into how she communicates with clients- as I doubt I am the only/first person who has experienced this from her. Considering it started from the first conversation we had.
