Law Abroad
We are an independent law firm located in the centre of Hemel Hempstead, and very proud of it, and have been established for 30 years. Our office in Hemel Hempstead has now reopened to the public and all safety measures have been put in place, including two-meter distancing tape throughout, separate rooms for each member of staff, and hand sanitiser.

As those of you who have visited our offices know, both reception and the main meeting room are large and allow the two-meter distancing with ease. Nevertheless, we realise that some clients may have trouble in travelling safely to the office, or may be concerned about visiting the office, even with these safety measures in place.

The NHS is responsible for paying care home fees for people in care partly for medical reasons. If you have been paying care home or nursing home fees you may be able to get a refund or get the NHS to pay the fees in future. Families can apply on behalf of relatives if they have passed away. Everyone needing long-term care because they are ill should be individually assessed for their care needs first and not whether they can pay.
Driverless cars have the potential to make our roads much safer and faster, but like any new major development driverless cars will lead to some new legal issues.

Kerry Underwood has a particular interest in this subject and has already written many articles about the legal matters relating to driverless cars as well as being involved in the Department of Transport's Consultation Paper on matters such as insurance law in relation to driverless cars and the changes necessary to the Highway Code and to road traffic accident law generally.

Very efficient and easy to deal with. Great social distancing measures and a lovely feel to the office. Only used them briefly to witness a document signature though.

We were owed £2,182 which we had paid before Christmas for flights cancelled in April.
Five emails and 12 phone calls to the Flight Centre over three months had got us nowhere.
One email from Tarryn van Graan at Underwoods Solicitors and nine days later we got our money back!

Just poor. Won't waste my time but being told our partner is high up in the business and don't have time for helping out a customer. No care, just looking for the best and big cases

We were told by friends to use Underwoods as our solicitors in the conveyance of our house and they were absolutely brilliant.Caitlin Burger and all her team couldn't have done any more in making the transition period a stress free one.They are a small firm who handled everything most professionally and at a very reasonable price.We moved on the agreed date and from the moment we started till the day we moved in every call email was answered by them within twenty four hours. We have no hesitation in recommending them at all.We moved in February and apologise for no answering sooner but our internet

I started working with Mr. Imtiaz Khan since May of 2019. I live in US and needed a solicitor to handle the probate matter related to my deceased sister. From my first meeting with Mr. Khan while I was in UK and returning to US and handling matter long distance it has been a breeze. Mr. Khan has handled every thing related to this matter in a very professional and expedient matter.I appreciate all he has done for me and I highly recommend his services to any potential client of this organization. It was pleasure working with Mr. Khan and Ms. Burger that handled other matters related to my case

I have used Underwoods Solicitors services on several occasions, ranging from Employment Law issues, to House Conveyancing and have always found them to be very proactive, helpful and very knowledgeable on all the relevant subjects. Their communications have always been excellent, with very little delay in responding. I have also always felt able to discuss issues and ask for general advice, without worrying that every minute was being logged. The office locations in both the UK and South Africa have also always worked very well, with no perceived difference in the services provided. I have attended

My enquiry was not qualified properly on the telephone before making an appointment. I had a wasted journey despite phoning ahead and making an appointment. Couldn't park, night mare journey there, waste of my time. Went somewhere else.
