I used this shambles when fighting the NHS about CHC funding that was denied my Mother. It took 3 years for this outfit to get the case to an National Panel Review with the NHS. During those three years I had to chase them regularly and had at least 5 "solicitors" what ever they described themselves as, deal with my case. There was NO CONTINUITY. At the NHS panel review and "remember I am not a solicitor" but was represented by one of this lot, anyway, at the panel the Clinical Commissioning Group Representative stated "We at k####ow clinical commissioning group can not guarantee the security,

Joe Brophy was very helpful and professional regarding advice on an Estate matter. I would have no hesitation in employing Joe for any future issues that may arise. Fantastic service.

Mark Harvey & team (with a special mention to Sophie Nicol) could not have been more helpful, supportive, thorough & efficient in their approach to my case. They were always available at a moment's notice (usually managing to reply almost instantly to my messages no matter what random day or time I might have sent them!) & gave the time & patience needed to address any queries or concerns I had. Their manner was always extremely professional but also warm & approachable throughout, they took the time to understand my perspective & I had the impression they are the kind of people to leave no stone

I was referred to this firm by Virgin money and subsequently received a text requesting that I return some documents that I'd never received. I then tried several times to contact them and discuss the issue. I eventually called their main head office to explain my issue and was told that I would probably need to wait at least 20 minutes to be able to speak to someone in the department I needed. I did once manage to get my call answered but no-one spoke on the other end. Still trying....with little joy!!!

Hugh James solicitors afforded me closure over an NFCI matter which continued to cause me mental anguish as the years went by. They're service felt bespoke, they were understanding and appropriate at all times. I got 100% pure quality service.

Hugh James handled my recent house purchase and I have to say the quality of service from our solicitor, Richard Jones, was excellent throughout. He was very professional, took the time to advise us when we had questions, and did a great job of pushing our sale through to completion quickly. I would highly recommend this company.

We used Hugh James Solicitors to move house and received an excellent service. Without them I do not believe our sale and purchase would have gone through. Would highly recommend Richard Jones who deal with us

I would like to say Joe Brophy was very thorough and professional in his advice regarding a disputed Will and court application. I will definitely ask Hugh James solicitors again for their opinions on any further legislation matters I have. Excellent service

Solicitor Carlos Land of Hugh James, provided an excellent professional service throughout my son's Personal Injury Claim. Carlos was very prompt, responsive and thorough in dealing with all our queries by phone or email. I have nothing but praise for the service we have received and the outcome was successful.

We had an excellent service from Hugh James Solicitor's ,regarding our mother’s claim on behalf of our father who suffered from chronic bronchitis and emphysema .
Bailey Davies dealt with our mother’s claim,
he was very compassionate and kind.
He kept my mother informed from start to finish with sensitivity and clarity.
I would recommend Baileys services for anyone who have similar claims in mind.
