Conveyancing Review
The service provided by Gurvinder Kehel and the Higgs LLP team was exemplary. We were provided with clear advice at every stage and the communication was excellent. Our transaction was complex and we were carefully navigated through the process from start to finish. We would highly recommend the Higgs property team.

Injury claim
I am incredibly grateful to Claire Burnell for their outstanding work on my personal injury claim. Their consistent communication and clear advice made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. They truly believed in my case and told me not to give up, which gave me immense confidence. Every step of the way, I felt informed and supported. Thanks to their skill and determination, the outcome was even better than I had hoped for, significantly surpassing the initial offer from the opposing side. I highly recommend them!
A representative from Higgs LLP responded to this review on 28 July, 2025:
Dear Subina, Thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad Claire's clear communication, support, and determination made a difference in your personal injury claim. It’s wonderful to hear the outcome exceeded your expectations. Best regards, Higgs

Couldn't Ask For Better!
I had the pleasure of working with Laura Hopkins regarding my motorbike accident case, which took around 1.5 years to conclude. Throughout the entire process, Laura was extremely thorough and always kept me informed. She responded quickly to any questions I had and clearly communicated what she required from me, making everything feel straightforward and manageable. Despite undoubtedly handling many cases at once, she never made me feel like I was just another file on her desk, she was always approachable and available when I needed her. I can’t recommend Laura highly enough for her dedication and professionalism. Thank you so much for all your effort in helping me, I really appreciate it!
A representative from Higgs LLP responded to this review on 24 July, 2025:
Dear Onkar, Thank you for your kind words about Laura. We are pleased to hear she provided thorough, clear, and dedicated support throughout your case. It’s wonderful to know you felt valued and well-informed during the process. We truly appreciate your recommendation. Best regards, Higgs

Higgs / JJ
Higgs have assisted our family in the past and we have always been impressed so they were the natural choice on this occasion. Jodie has been particularly impressive. She has guided me through a difficult process with calm, efficient professionalism, with excellent judgment throughout. She has listened to and respected my wishes but also offered advice and caution where appropriate. I believe that listening to, and taking, Jodie’s advice ultimately led to the successful conclusion that was reached. I am grateful to Jodie and Higgs and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to friends and family.
A representative from Higgs LLP responded to this review on 24 July, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted Jodie and the Higgs team provided calm, professional guidance and helped achieve a successful outcome. Your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to us!

I can only say positive things about how Laura Hopkins handled my case. Following my car accident, Higgs & Sons were appointed by my insurance company, and I am so glad. Laura communicated clearly and professionally throughout the process, was extremely approachable and friendly - even when I was asking daft questions and dealing with very slow medical specialists. Thank you very much for your help Laura!

Swapped to Higgs following a serious motorbike accident and realised that the solicitors I was advised to use by my insurance company just didn’t have specialised knowledge of bike accidents. I’m so glad I did, they were professional, courteous and polite throughout the whole process. Laura who handled my case was great, she kept me informed at all times, responded to emails and calls promptly and made the whole process a lot less stressful than it probably would have been. I would recommend any biker unfortunate enough to find themselves in this situation to pick the phone up and speak to them.
