Hughes Paddison

AN AWARD FOR ENDURANCE!A huge thank you to David Sterrett of the Family team who has been a source of unfailing support and encouragement over the last four years during a difficult, highly acrimonious and extremely long-running divorce. David has a wealth of experience and has never been phased by all the bumps in the road along the way. I have been so grateful for his integrity and knowledge, and he definitely deserves an award for his tenacity and endurance!

I've used Hughes Paddison twice for conveyancing and they've been exemplary both times! Jess, Heidi & Nadia have been absolutely wonderful and fully supportive throughout the whole process - which is more than can be said for some solicitors! Highly recommended.

The team of Jon and Danielle provided us with fantastic support during the recent sale of our business. The transaction had to be completed against very tight timescales (3 weeks) which the team at Hughes Paddison delivered against. It was an excellent experience and we appreciate the responsiveness that the team provided, often out of hours. We would definitely recommend them to others looking to sell their business from our experience.

After a stumbling start to the house-buying process with a different law firm who couldn't meet my needs, I feel lucky to have found Hughes Paddison and Lorraine Bruton in particular. She, along with her colleague Sara Anderson, did a fantastic job managing every part of the conveyancing process and ensuring a successful completion. Lorraine was very proactive in making all the necessary enquiries and communicating her findings with me, and I felt confident I was in good hands throughout it all. I will happily be using Hughes Paddison again for any future conveyancing needs.

My wife had a complex employment case which had a FOS decision to obtain a quantum assessment to be carried out. Kimberley Whalen Blake took on this case for my wife.She was absolutely amazing in everything she did throughout the case.Her expertise is exceptional. Communication skills are also excellent explaining the whole process as the 1.5 year assessment progressed. Nothing seemed to much trouble.If you have Kimberley on your side be assured from us you will be in safe professional hands.Thank you Kimberley for your tireless pursuit of putting together my wife’s employment case for counsel.Ashley James

I would definitely not recommend Hughes Paddison. They were appointed as executors for our late mother’s will but, despite all their promises, they demonstrated very little commitment to completing the process in a timely manner. For example, they told us not to use the Government ‘Tell Us Once’ service as they would complete it … and then didn’t bother to do anything about it! The result was a greatly extended time-frame for completion as they had to contact everyone individually. They waited three months before chasing a reply to emails they had sent. They also almost doubled the charges they originally quoted when they started the process but didn’t tell us this until after completion.We complained to the Legal Ombudsman who fully reviewed the case and found in our favour, determining that Hughes Paddison had not provided “a reasonable level of service” in certain areas. We received a 15% refund of the final charge.Not all solicitors are the same and there are far better firms locally. Learn from our experience and choose your solicitor very carefully.

I cannot thank Lorraine Bruton enough for her kindness, patience and excellent communication throughout the purchase of my new home. The communication during the whole process has been 1st class. Any queries or issues where responded to quickly and efficiently and I felt in the know every step of the way. If you're buying or selling a home 100% go with Hughes Paddison they are excellent.

When you use a solicitor its usually in times of need, when you require expert advice and reassurance. This is exactly what our company has received from Hughes Paddison Solicitors and in particular Kimberley Whalen -Blake. Not only is Kimberley extremely well informed and professional; she is also personable and easy to communicate with. She responds to messages and emails promptly and goes over and above to assist. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services; and in the future, if necessary, I will definitely be calling on her expertise.

Lorraine and Sara carried out the sale conveyancing on my property. I was really impressed with the way in which I was kept fully informed at all times, and the pace at which they worked. They were really flexible around the completion arrangements despite the date falling so close to Christmas. Friendly and professional; would definitely use again.

Andrew was absolutely fantastic at advising me on property matters regarding rights of way issues. He took time out to speak to me at length over the phone and via email - within the hour! Exceptionally personable and professional. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend Andrew Turner at Hughes Paddison - they are true experts in their field!!! Thank you
