Hart Reade Solicitors

When we went to the office we were treated with a good reception warm welcome. At the appointment as was good, Very relaxed but professional. Your staff have a great knowledge of their own products and put their views over in a very positive way. At no time did we feel pressured, instead confident that we had made a good choice in our choice of Hart Reade Solicitors for our issue and Ian Porter for our investments. Would recommend them to anybody.

Hart Reade acted for me in my Divorce. I found they were sympathetic and understanding as well as knowledgeable and professional at what was a very stressful time of my life. I couldn’t have been in better hands. They have since acted for me in Conveyancing matters and I always feel confident that matters will proceed as smoothly and swiftly as is possible and with the least stress. I would highly recommend Hart Reade.

We used Hart Reade when we brought our last property. We found the service to be very to be of a high standard. Calls we returned quickly, emails replied to swiftly. The communication was good, with my wife and I being kept up to date throughout the process. We completed our house purchase on Christmas Eve, which wouldn’t of been achieved without the dedication of the staff at Hart Reade. We would highly recommend them and will be using again in the future.

Guy Brown expertly handled my divorce and financial settlement. He showed considerable compassion and knowledge as I was guided through the legalities to a positive conclusion in what was a messy situation. Thanks also to Danielle for her advice and sensitive listening, and to Philippa for all the prompt and thorough correspondence.

Alexandra and the team supported me though a very challenging divorce and supported me every step of the way. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable and I highly recommend their service.

We used Hart Reade for the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. Unfortunately, they were very slow and would rarely answer the phone. Many mistakes were made and delays were caused as a result. When Coral Burr, did eventually answer the phone, she would say to us (on a number of occasions), “I could be getting on with that, instead I’m on the phone to you!” Would I recommend Hart Reade Solicitors? No.

Hart Reade acted for me in the purchase of my businesses. They were knowledgeable and professional and I felt extremely well supported and in safe hands throughout the whole process. Communication and responsiveness was excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Divorce is never easy but when you are faced with a solicitor who is unable or unwilling to set their client on a reasonable outcome you have no choice but to call in the experts. IMHO the whole system needs a massive shake up to avoid hefty legal bills and encourage manageable and affordable outcomes. Alex and her team only put forward such proposals to the other side and it was notable that after years of wrangling the outcome of the Financial Dispute Resolution was almost to a pound in line with what she had recommend we offer. This says it all really. If you want a lawyer to punish your ex, or to set you on a course of unrealistic expectations then look elsewhere. if you want your life back, speak to Alex and Nicola.

Hart Reade Eastbourne is my forever Solicitor and I full heartedly and without hesitation can recommend!I was under the very best professional , understanding, protective and experienced wings of Mr Brown, Danielle and Philippa for 3 years (and still) and I am genuinely deeply grateful!Every visit was attentive, everything explained in understanding terms and I only ever felt genuinely cared for, fought for. The law is a minefield and sadly to many degrees has wholes in it, but Mr Brown never did anything but the very best, safest, legal protection for me and both him, Danielle and Philippa are kind, courteous, understanding and just genuinely amazing!Mr Brown also appointed me the very best Barrister Mr Watson who’s knowledge and professionalism was proven repeatedly.I must also express gratitude to Maddie at reception for always being the friendliest light of welcome.My Father asked me to ‘go and find the best of the best Solicitor in the area’ (East Sussex) in 2018 and I truly did.HE Emily CooperRepresented by Solicitor Mr G Brown / EastbourneMr Duncan Watson Barrister/ LondonDanielle Archer / assistant to Mr BrownPhilippa Barker / secretary to Mr Brown

I used Alexandra back in 2020 to help me deal with a child contact arrangement. From the very start I was welcomed with a friendly smile, and a honest outlook on my situation. I was given clear legal options I could choose to take and advice on what she thought would be the best and least disruptive route to take.I am a natural worrier, my own mind blows everything out of proportion, but Alexandra was there each time to reassure my worries when I needed.I simply couldn't recommend Alexandra enough! My issues were resolved quickly, efficiently and in a very cost effective manner.10/10
