Most of the Hine Downing team have lived and worked in Cornwall for many years. Our close ties within the local area help us in our professional lives - and they are important to us outside work, as well. Both as a practice and as individuals we take great pleasure in supporting many cultural, maritime, sporting and young people's activities.
Access to our main conference room is at ground level (8-10 Berkeley Vale). Wheel chair access is straightforward, but we are pleased to assist if you would like us to. Please note that our private car park is located on a hill; disabled clients, especially those with wheelchairs, will find it easier to enter our offices by the front door on Berkeley Vale.
We have been accredited under the Law Society's national quality assurance scheme LEXCEL since 2006, demonstrating that we meet and maintain the highest standards of client care and practice management. In 2011, Hine Downing was one of the earliest firms in Cornwall and indeed the UK to become accredited under the Law Society's Conveyancing Qualiity Scheme (CQS).
Over 60 % of clients come back to us after and initial matter and another 1/3 come on a personal or professional recommendation. Occasionally, clients have an issue that we are pleased to hear about and respond to, but the vast majority of clients who add a comment are highly complimentary. It gave me the confidence to deal with a particularly unfair and stressful situation, with a positive outcome at the end.
