Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘HCR Hewitsons initially assisted with a challenging Ancestral Immigration/Citizenship query. The individuals involved were able to thoroughly and extensively review historical policies and legislation. Their collaboration as a team (including me throughout the process) provided confidence for me to proceed (along with their continued support) with the UK Citizenship application.’

  • ‘I can only commend Adam on the service he provided, his attention-to-detail, along with his professional yet personal nature made the experience very comfortable. His written and verbal communications when describing or explaining the legal terminology ensured I had a clear and concise understanding of each process.’

  • ‘They are very transparent and seem to have a very experienced team of solicitors.’

  • 'I highly value how knowledgeable they are in their field. The lead solicitor tending to my case has proven multiple times to be a very capable lawyer, able to identify key elements in my case and provide clear plans of action every step of the way.’

  • ‘Responsive, professional, prompt, and meticulous.’

  • ‘Extremely good interpersonal skills, friendly but professional. Patient, prepared and able to explain detail.’
