Prompt responses and clear communication

The process of selling a property as an executor was handled pretty smoothly despite some unavoidable delays.
It was relatively easy to speak with, or message, the professional dealing with our case and replies were timely.

The perfect business transaction...

Josiah Hinks Solicitors were referred to me by a commercial property agent who was selling my property in Leicestershire. From the start Yilmaz was very communicative, positive and always one step ahead of everything, he was always at hand to answer any questions and assist me with any documentation that needed to be completed. It's not very often you can do business with a human being nowadays and at no point I was not directed to a call-centre and subsequently left to spend most of my busy day on hold waiting for someone to talk to me. Would I recommend ? Absolutely, a great job from start to finish. Thank you. Pete

Very comforting experience, it was nice to have a lawyer who was professional, communicative and reassuring during what is a stressful process. Whenever I had an issue or a question it was responded to swiftly and matters resolved in good time I never felt at all as if I had to chase them.

This is without a doubt the most professional, fast and efficient service I have ever received from a solicitor. I joked to friends/family often it was like something landed on my solicitors desk and was dealt with within minutes! It did truly feel like this was the case, the service stood out that much. I was treated with respect and I felt well informed at all times. If I asked a question I was responded to quickly and it was just overall a great service. The sale of my mothers house was always going to be difficult for me and I cannot thank Gobindra Nadala enough for his integrity, professionalism and time. This is an honest review and I am very happy to provide it. I won't hesitate to use this solicitor/firm again for all my legal requirements. A seamless process, thank you so much Gobindra take care

Failed to respond to a call back request via their website. Finally spoke to a receptionist on the phone who took my number and assured me someone would call me back. That was 3 weeks ago, I'm still waiting. I'm not the only one either, I spoke to a friend in the village who had the same experience after they had started her case.
Such lack of professionalism at this level is appalling. Lost complete faith in them. Do yourselves a favour, save yourselves some time and take your money elsewhere.

Absolutely terrible solicitors.
I can't go in to specific details as to the case but these clowns were slow to get anything done, rude, and caused unneccesary worry and stress. Awful service. DO NOT USE!

A huge thank you to Trisha of Josiah Hincks for overseeing both the sale of our previous house and the purchase of our new house. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received.

We found Trisha incredibly proactive, efficient, thorough and absolutely superb at keeping us updated throughout the process.

Thank you for everything and we look forward to working with you again.
