Based in Huddersfield town centre with its own car parking, and easy access from the M62 and M1 motorway network, Eaton Smith is large enough to enable clients to obtain specialised and effective legal help and support when required, yet small enough to retain the personal touch at a realistic and competitive cost.

If I could rate higher than 5 I would do, Jamie has been a life saver. He has been very pro-active, time efficient and his communication has been fantastic.

When we started working with Jamie our turnaround time was very quickly, Jamie was upfront about the process, pricing and turn around time assuring us that anything relating to his side of the work would be dealt with and we would only not meet it through things outside of our control. He was on hand to give me advise, keep me updated and went above and beyond on anything that we was not sure of.

I could say without hesitation, if and when I next need a solicitor I will only be using this man to help me through this process.

Thank you for everything you have done Jamie

Best solicitor

I suffered a fall while pregnant and looked into the company for a claim. I have been working with James since the start and I just have to say how lovely he is as a person and how easy he made this process for me. As someone who suffers with mental health , paperwork and understanding things can be quite complicated however James spent the time and effort into helping me and explaining things to me which I really appreciated. I believe the company is a very good company to go with and if you’re looking into a claim definitely to ask for James. Overall he made this process very easy and relaxed for me leaving me with 0 stress which again I highly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the company and especially James to anyone who needs a solicitor.

Amazing from start to finish, I had the pleasure of dealing with James Johnson, who was highly professional throughout. He gave perfect advice and made the process easy. I didn't struggle to get answers, he managed to get me the best outcome possible and was fabulous to deal with. I highly recommend this firm of solicitors because of James and should I have the misfortune of requiring help in the future I wouldnt hesitate to come back. Hopefully not! But thankyou so much for everything you have done. You are top class. If I could give more stars I would.

I'm writing a review on behalf of my father, who recently engaged Matthew Dickenson in respect of a personal injury claim, related to the loss of teeth sustained in a workplace accident.

He has now had this claim resolved successfully by Matthew, who he found to be pleasant, informative and who kept him updated regularly and when required. He was pleased with the outcome and would have no hesitation in recommending Yes PI Lawyers to others

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eaton Smith twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. Chris assisted me with the EULA for my indie game, and his kindness, thoroughness, and incredibly fast email responses made the entire process seamless. Later, when I needed a solicitor for my prenup, I immediately turned to Chris, who connected me with Zahra. She was just as professional and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even caught an error in our documents at 8 PM on a Friday and reached out immediately to help us fix it. Their level of attentiveness and professionalism is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.
