In 1930 our founder Henry Hyams opened a small office in Leeds to serve the local community. Understanding the difficulties facing ordinary people and businesses he developed a general practice offering legal services with a strong emphasis on justice and fair play. From that small office the business expanded to become a leading legal practice in the city centre, building on an ethos of hard work and client focussed advice. Those core principles upon which Henry built his practice remain the focus of the service we provide today. Fast, efficient, yet caring, we will use all our skills, experience and resources to help you achieve the best possible outcome. From personal injury to property; regulatory prosecution to driving offences; divorce to immigration, we offer the same high quality service to private and commercial clients alike. Read more...

Preparation of a new will.

The lady I dealt with was very professional and helpful from my initial contact via phone to preparation of a draft will to meeting in person to go through the content of the will and it's ramifications. This was not my first such document but even had it been she put me through it in very precise detail and her advice was much appreciated.

Will & Probate Review

The 5 stars are for Nicola Hartley, as is this review. Her professionalism and determination to resolve a long-standing stalemate between executors enabled a resolution to the matter. I hope that Henry Hyams appreciate the work Nicola has done, and ensures she is justly rewarded for her efforts. I only wish Nicola had been dealing with this right from the start.

I would give Henry Hyams 3 stars, and that is generous. They initially sent letters to my old postal address, even though I had sent my new address to them by email before any correspondence was sent out. There was no drive, desire or determination to progress proceedings, and no advice offered to move things forward. Mistakes were made along the way, and while these may not have been deliberate, it became increasingly frustrating to deal with them.

Excellent

I would like to thank Michael, Vanda and Bev for the excellent work they delivered for both selling and buying my dream home in LS16. Michael and the team ensured that we complete on time. I met Michael at the office, and he was delighted to work with. This is my 4th transaction that I completed with Henry Hyams. If anyone is looking for a conveyancer, I would only recommend HH. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for all your help.

Fabulous service

This is my fourth time working with Henry Hyams. They delivered superb service, and I can't fault it. Both selling and buying—two transactions at once—is no easy task. However, Michael and the team (namely Vanda and Bev) ensured that all the legal work was handled with the utmost care and precision. I have no hesitation in recommending Henry Hyams to anyone.

Nicola Hartley handled our sister's Will and Probate after her death. She was superb. Always calm, professional and sympathetic in the way she handled every aspect of our case.

She worked on a fee basis, as opposed to percentage of the value of the estate, so she was great value to. an't speak highly enough of the service we have received.
