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...

Outstanding service!

I recently contacted Nicola Hartley from Henry Hyams in relation to setting up Lasting Power of Attorney for my mother. From that first contact to the conclusion of business I found her a pleasure to deal with.

Nicola took her time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, ensuring that I was fully informed and comfortable throughout. She was able to answer any question I had immediately, displaying an obvious mastery of her craft.

She displayed professionalism, humility and empathy in equal measure which is a rare quality.

I have no hesitation in recommending Henry Hyams and Nicola in particular, she is a credit to the firm!

Outstanding Solicitors

I can't thank Helen, Ryan, Mira and the team enough for helping us through a very difficult time.

The service provided went above and beyond and they looked after my daughter and I throughout.

Not only are they very professional but they care, so much so I even got a good luck text on the morning of the final hearing!

Whenever I emailed or called I always get a quick response. I even recieved emails at the weekend and would often tell them they should be resting and not working 7 days a week!

If you're reading this then you're in need of professional support, look no further because I can't express my gratitude enough to Henry Hyams, these are the people you want!

They keep you informed, talk honestly, and give great advice! They're professional, hard working and they've got your back.

I had Helen and the team looking after us for 3 years and they feel more like family now than solicitors!

So as you've guessed from my review I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed!

Thank you Helen, Ryan and Mira

will writing

My wife and i wanted to have our wills written but were unsure who to choose. my mobile phone was being bombarded with offers to write them with many variations on price. we decided to go with october will month which required a donation to a local hospice. there were several solicitor firms listed which would provide this service. alas we had left it late and most of the firms were up to capacity and couldnt help. it was looking dire but then i rang HENRY HYAMS OXFORD HOUSE OXFORD ROW and the phone was answered by a lovely lady called NICOLA HARTLEY . this ladys telephone manner was very welcoming and pleasant, Nicola made an appointment for my wife and i a few days later and it all went very smoothly. this lady was very reassuring, knew her job and explained everything in terms we could understand, a credit to the company. THANK YOU NICOLA. I have no personal connection to this firm, but i do strongly appreciate good service, So if you are contemplating having a will written i can highly recommend HENRYHYAMS.

Fabulous, friendly, efficient service. Super helpful and responsive always. Made what was an emotional property sale that little bit easier. We can’t thank Mike, Vanda, Nicola and the whole team at Henry Hyams enough. Highly Recommend 🙏😊

Highly recommended

As a family, we have used the services of Henry Hyams to buy and sell 4 properties now. Each time, we’ve worked with Emily and she ensures that the transactions are as smooth as possible; answering enquiries and often only reaching out when there is something she really needs us as clients to answer. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Emily again and would recommend Henry Hyams without question.

Impressive Expertise and Excellent Service

I cannot speak highly enough of Henry Hyams Solicitors and in particular of Mr Robert Sparks. From the outset, after other lawyers could not see a way forward through the complex immigration situation, Robert Sparks impressed with the depth of his knowledge and the clarity of his advice. At every stage, there were speedy replies to questions and practical guidance which was invaluable. He was supportive and practically helpful throughout the whole process until its successful completion. I have no words to express what such expertise and consistent friendly support has meant.

So I rang this company on the 29th of October to be told that the person or person’s I needed to speak to where engaged and someone would rind me back.No one has contacted me, so I then rang them again on the 4th of November to be told the same thing again. It’s now the 6th of November and still no one has contacted me I’m totally appalled at this firm they where recommended by another solicitor’s who I’m shore will not recommend them again if you need a reliable solicitor don’t phone them,

Emily Osgerby was everything you could ask for in a solicitor; attentive, dilligent and thorough. Her knowledge and experience made our first time buying a home as stress free as can be. I highly recommend Emily and the team at Henry Hyams.

We had the pleasure of using Henry Hyams for our recent house purchase following a recommendation from a close friend. Both Emily and her assistant Keeley were fantastic throughout the entire conveyancing process. We were kept up-to-date with any developments and Emily ensured all key bits of information were fully understood.
