HK Law Reviews 

After forty years in the same house we approached the sale of our property and the purchase of a new house with some trepidation. Thankfully HK Law made the process much less daunting. The professional yet supportive approach of Anna Davey and Linda Chandler was greatly appreciated. The explanatory paperwork was well organised and helpful.

Do not listen, do not get back to you in time, do not follow requests that are appropriate and contradict themselves.

I engaged HK Law to prepare wills and lasting powers of attorney for both my wife and me. After an initial meeting at their Southbourne office, we were assured the process would take no more than two to three weeks.

Two months passed, and the only communication I received was a generic letter advising me of their eye-watering hourly rate increases. I emailed to request an update — no response. A week later, I followed up again, this time copying in their general 'info' mailbox. Only then did I receive an apology, and the draft wills were sent out the same day.

Upon opening my will, I was greeted by a glaring typographical error: it referred to “my husband [my name]” instead of “my wife [her name]” — a basic and embarrassing mistake. It was evident the documents had been hastily copied and pasted without proper proofreading. Given their fees, this is unacceptable.

I learned that the solicitor handling our case had left the firm. It appears there was no handover or case continuity in place — a basic procedural failure that should not occur in any professional practice.

I’ve had previous dealings with Humphries Kirk and HK Law — not all satisfactory, and I know I'm not alone. A friend’s horror story about HK Law's mishandling of a probate case springs to mind.

Thankfully, my wife and I are still alive, so we avoided the prospect of dying intestate. Personally, I would avoid this firm.

EDIT. I was informed that a member of staff had left, which had contributed to the issues. However, once HKlaw were made aware of the situation, they responded promptly, issued a full apology, and resolved the matter to my satisfaction.

The legal representative we dealt with was polite, and helpful. We received very clear advice and always very promptly. We have not always experienced this with other firms.

Anna Davey and her team were excellent during our recent leasehold sale. Professional, supportive and value for money. Thank you!

Through a painful journey trying to sell a leasehold property Anna Davey was a delight: responsive, supportive and creative in finding solutions, I cannot praise her highly enough.

Anna Davey and her team handled the sale of our aunt's property. It was a probate sale which added a layer of complexity, but throughout the process her advice and help was great, and she worked well with the estate agents to co-ordinate exchange and completion. In all it took only 8 weeks from the offer to completion - I've never known a house sale proceed so quickly and smoothly. Thanks Anna and all at HKLaw.

Laura has recently updated my Will for me. She was friendly and efficient and I would recommend her without hesitation.

We dealt with Chris Keenan for our personal business at the Crewkerne office. Chris was very helpful and clear about what we wanted and made sure we were comfortable with what he was doing for our needs. Thank you.

Very prompt and efficient service delivered with a friendly, helpful approach. Thank you,

We had an incredible experience with Victoria and Jo at HK Law on our home purchase recently! We were in a real rush to get our purchase over the line due to stamp duty changes and Victoria and Jo were extremely helpful, bending over backwards to get things done quickly and communicate efficiently. I would highly recommend HK Law and am so grateful to Victoria and Jo for all of their hard work!

Upsettingly I had to evict tenants on a section 8 none payment of rent from my property and Matthew Hills at HK Law took my case on and guided me through the legal procedure and court case, to sadly, but necessary a successful eviction and got the property back under my control, I would recommend Matthew and HK Law if anyone else needed this kind of service.

Excellent work by HK Law for dealing with my Mum's estate for probate and distribution of funds. The staff were patient and understanding. Also accurate in handling information and prompt in responding to emails. This work was carried out by solicitors Chris Keenan and Lauren Costelloe who I would highly recommend for dealing with family legal matters.

Anna Davey cannot be recommended highly enough. She was professional efficient and assisted throughout the house sale process. I could not have asked for more here. Excellent service!

We’ve just completed on our house purchase and only had 12 weeks to get in before the stamp duty deadline, Anna davey was absolutely brilliant, always replied to all my many e-mails and I really think if it wasn’t for her we probably would have ended up missing the deadline. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her, she gets the job done

Buying a house can be a nightmare but Anna made it easy. The money laundering regulations are torturous, but we got there - and we beat the stamp duty deadline!

We needed some local legal help on a short deadline & Peter Stagg was excellent in understanding & making it happen. The staff were also great in ensuring an infection controlled setting & treated us with such kindness & respect. They are most definitely now our 'family firm' & to be recommended.

We sold our flat through HK Law, recommended by our daughter. Anna Davey represented us & she has been our strong support throughout the whole process.
We have no doubts in recommending Anna (and Linda) and will certainly use them again if needed.

I used HK Law to sell my flat. My dealings with them were straightforward and I recommend them. Mariam Luqman was the solicitor handling my file and I highly recommend her as being pragmatic, responsive and understanding.
