At Hall Smith Whittingham LLP we pride ourselves on the feedback we receive from our clients, below is just a sample of the great feedback we’ve had.

Since I made my will, I have returned twice to update it. On each occasion, I was dealt with by Angela. She was very friendly and made sure that I understood everything.

Mrs C

November 2024

Service was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable advice.

Mrs J

November 2024

It’s hard to think of any way in which you could improve the way you have handled our request to set up Powers of Attorney for myself and my wife. You kindly came to our house to save my disabled wife from making difficult trips to the office. All of our queries were answered kindly and efficiently. In summary, a very pleasant as well as productive process.

Mr & Mrs C

November 2024

We would both like to thank you for your help in getting this completion pushed through against all the odds. In addition the extra help on the day of completion when funds were delayed and we couldn’t get the keys. Rest assured we will never be moving again. Best wishes to you all.

Mr & Mrs J

November 2024

Excellent, friendly and professional service. Angela and Janice are superb and can adapt brilliantly to my needs (I am disabled and they came to me rather than me needing to go to them). Thank you.

Mr B

November 2024

I instructed Michael Wright, and his team Emma Walley and Samantha Herring for my purchase. They were fantastic. Very professional, always kept me updated, they were easy to contact, and responsive. Achieved a quick completion without any issues. Would use again, and would recommend to anyone wanting their transaction to be handled by the best.

Mr G

November 2024

Excellent service and communication during our recent house sale, can’t recommend Steven Coles and team highly enough.

Mr & Mrs G

November 2024

We recently instructed Claire Hilton in our sale and purchase. We had no idea at the time that our purchase would turn out to be so complex however, Claire went above and beyond to ensure that at all times we were kept informed of how the matter was progressing as well as working hard to make sure that all the legal problems were resolved prior to our ownership.
As the purchase took over six months (through absolutely no fault of Hall Smith Whittingham), Steven, Michael and Hayley also all worked on our file and continued to push for a completion date despite having their own busy caseloads.
We would certainly recommend Claire and her colleagues!

Mr & Mrs B

Steven Coles and Sarah Trickett made our mother’s house sale, despite setbacks from time wasting potential buyers, very straightforward and from mine and my sister’s perspective very stress free.

My sister and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hall Smith Whitingham’s services.

Lucy Woods was our Solicitor and she was excellent throughout the whole process of our flat sale and house purchase. She was always happy to help, provide advice and guidance and always able to explain complicated things in a simpler way but not patronising which was brilliant. She would go above and beyond in level of customer service and supporting us and replying to emails in the evening when she should have been finished for the day. She has a kind and considerate nature which definitely shows in her work. Such a lovely woman and we couldn’t thank her enough for everything she has done for us.

Mr & Mrs E

From start to finish, solicitor Lucy Woods and her paralegal Laura Podesta kept me informed throughout the entire legal process.

Michael Wright and Samantha Herring recently assisted me with the sale of my property.

They were first class from start to finish, dealing with some difficult challenges on the sale, especially around a rather non-responsive party in the transaction.

Hall Smith Whittingham on the whole have been a pleasure to deal with for myself on both conveyancing and other legal areas, they’re a pleasure to work with and treat you as a client, not a walking wallet. They are clear with their costs, which are very reasonable, work with your wishes and have great communication. I cannot recommend them enough.

Mr C

My husband and I came to you on a recommendation by a friend. We needed to set up a will and LPA, which we appointed Angela Lewis to carry out for us. Angela helped and advised us where necessary and we found the experience very easy.
