Will Writing

I found the whole process of writing my will very easy. After my initial enquiry online Couchman Hanson got in touch with me straight away to arrange an appointment. Everyone I dealt with was helpful, efficient and professional. I would definitely use this company again for any other legal matters.

Employment advice

Emily was recommended by a friend to provide legal advice in relation to a settlement agreement. Throughout the process Emily guided me through the details to ensure my understanding, and was always quick to respond to queries. She was also particularly empathetic to my personal situation and provided clear guidance on the options available. I am pleased to say we reached a successful conclusion and I would have no hesitation in recommending Emily to friends and family for employment advice.

Emily was anazing, I was not in a good place and suffering with extreme burnout. Emily talked me through my options from a legal perspective and protected me for having to deal with my employer which was causing additional anxiety, I would highly recommend Emily, her knowledge of employment law is second to none and she is calm and personable,

Successful conveyancing

From initial contact to final completion, we felt that Couchman Hanson were efficient and responsive in the process of selling our house. Any queries were answered quickly and we were advised swiftly over any issues that have arisen. We have engaged the firm to act for us in other areas and are happy to recommend their services.

A very good experience

I am very pleased to have engaged Paralegal Ms. Gemma Mace to handle the sale of my leasehold property. The quote and set-up through to the final accounts were transparent and clear. Gemma was always pleasant and professional and throughout the matter I felt that she was keeping up the progress despite difficulties from the other solicitors. The reception staff treated me with consideration and often Gemma was able to step out of her office to update me. I would recommend Ms. Mace without reservation.

I used Coachman Hanson when I sold my house recently and sadly through their inexperience, which they acknowledged but didn’t admit to until 2 months into the proceedings, I potentially lost £100,000 on the sale of my home.

I would Highly recommend Couchman Hanson. I recently used Mike Brown to over see the sale of my commercial property. It turned out to be not the most strait forward process, however Mike was always incredibly helpful, attentive and insightful. Often going above and beyond to give advice where needed and to help the process on its way. Great service.

I have used Couchman Hanson twice now since moving to the Haslemere area, and have on both occasions been extremely impressed with the levels of service, quality of advice given, prompt responses to queries, and taking as much admin out of my hands as possible. In my personal capacity, I have no hesitation in recommending the firm to others.

I have worked with Head of Employment Law Emily Yeardley on domestic and international challenges, and her advice, approach, and tenacity are first class. Having spent my career advising multi-nationals for more than 25 years, I recommend Emily unreservedly as one of the most consummate and trustworthy professionals I’ve had the pleasure to encounter.

Absolute integrity. Meticulous attention to legal detail as well as considerable personal attention.
Couchman Hanson were the only Solicitors who managed to resolve an intractable legal problem which two other firms could not deal with.

Christine has been fantastic support and a ray of sunshine throughout a stressful issue that has now been resolved. She has been calm, knowledgable, honest, thorough and clearly experienced with the legal side, plus her sense of humour helped to keep our spirits up. You can feel that she genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for both parties.
