HK Law Reviews 

My wife and I went to HK law seeking advice with regard to a matter involving our son's care. We saw Mr Chris Keenan who was very approachable and thorough in his dealings with our enquiry and concerns we have about our son's care issues.
Mr Keenans secretary Sarah was very helpful in our initial enquiry when we contacted HK law.
We can strongly recommend them.

I have been so impressed with Scott from HK law, he is responsive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We will be using Scott for future commercial deals.

My sister and I have recently used hklaw to deal with our late mother’s affairs which were not straightforward. Sue Pemberton dealt with the case keeping us informed all the way through the process and giving good advice where needed.
We would thoroughly recommend hklaw and Sue Pemberton in particular.

After recommendation from a family member I instructed Nigel Stannard for the conveyancing of the sale of my property & the purchase of a new one. Both properties had elements that meant they were not straightforward. I was impressed by Nigel’s professional attitude, knowledge & attention to detail all delivered with a timely, practical & worklike manner. He is ably & competently supported by his secretary Sarah & all communication was excellent & efficient. This ultimately facilitated successful transaction of both properties.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel or the wider services of HK Law and would definitely instruct again in the future

I was recommended Martin Varley by the DBA and was thoroughly impressed by the service that I received. I would highly recommend Martin and his team.

I used HK Law for my divorce proceedings 3 years ago. Therefore, I had no hesitation returning to them to navigate a further 2 weeks to sort out communications to my ex-wife regarding my pensions. When I phoned Margaret she picked up the phone after only about 2 rings. She instantly put me at ease and advised me on how I should proceed. Margaret was always very kind and compassionate. She always replied very quickly to my emails, with all communications being excellent. Thank you also Ellie for your kind and very respectful emails. I would highly recommend HK Law to anyone and would have no hesitation in approaching them again in the future, if it was ever necessary. Many thanks to everyone at HK Law. Your help and support has been much appreciated 🙂

My family and I have had conveyancing undertaken by Anna Davey on several occasions. She is a great communicator, she's on the ball in terms of pushing the sale/purchase through and able to explain complex legal terms and procedures simply and readily. Highly recommended.

Clear and experienced service from Cara Lewin and her staff.

I cannot rate this firm highly enough. I have had to recently seek something from this firm again relating to an old case. I was remembered and my query dealt with fast and compassionately. In a world where there is so much dispassion, the compassion that HK has showed to me over the years as I have faced tremendous struggle has been second to none. Where the stresses were too great, and I stopped eating, when I attended meetings they fed me. When I couldn't face the next day, someone touched base with me. When there was no hope, they gave me a light. I survived my case BECAUSE of the constant care of this team who held my hand through the entire journey. Professional, diligent, honest, respectable and humanistic. A wonderful wonderful firm. I would never use anyone else and I would recommend everyone to use them.

My family have used Humphries Kirk for many years and recently the firm have supported me with the closure of the estate and tax returns on trusts set up. Chris Keenan and David Lester has been particularly supportive. Great company highly recommended.

I recently needed to update my will and HK Law were excellent in every respect. In particular I would like to thank Mr Chris Keenan in the Dorchester office for his helpful, friendly and approachable advice, about both my own affairs and also my parent's arrangements. Everything was explained clearly and dealt with promptly.
Personally it is also helpful that HK Law has several branches in the area, including one near my son and daughter-in-law, should my LPAs ever need to be used.
I recommend HK Law, in fact I have already instructed again them myself about a property sale.

A very professional service, interview with Anna Davey (Southbourne office) regarding purchasing a property in Southbourne was very relaxed, very clear and straight to the point. we were kept well informed by Anna and her assistant Linda of the progress by email as we were in New Zealand most of the time. Very highly recommended.

LPA for Health and Welfare.
Guided by Charlotte Parsons, we recently signed and registered these LPAs. Excellent service would recommend.

We needed to update our wills and consider a few other issues as I have found that I now have a very short life expectancy.
Peter Stagg assisted us and was quick and efficient with his advice and the subsequent legal work.
He kindly visited us at home due to my mobility issues. He was very clear on pricing an kept to the estimate.

Lack of pricing transparency and the creation of "abortive fees" that lead to a more than doubling of the original pricing "estimate".
I negotiated reduced pricing for the sale of 5 identical, self-contained flats, to be sold with 5 identical leases.
Mid-way through the sale, I needed to change the name on the contracts from my personal name to my Ltd company name, and am then informed that "abortive fees" would need to be charged and a new instruction obtained, leading to an effective doubling of the original £750 per flat fees on the 3 sales that were going through. When challenged, I was then told that "we don't do fixed pricing, they were only estimates".
On top of this, their pricing apparently goes up the more urgent the transaction. I was quoted "between £3,500 and £7,000" for a simple sale of a freehold property from my personal name to my own Ltd company. Apparently, I had to pay a premium as it was very close to Christmas and other work would need to be dropped. I have never come across a conveyancing law firm that has variable pricing depending on how urgent the work is. I would certainly be interested in finding out whether this goes against the SRA pricing transparency rules!
I was recommended this firm by my selling estate agent and am disappointed with my experience thus far. They are now refusing to do any more work on the transactions until I pay their "abortive fees".
Avoid avoid avoid!!!

Anna Davey, of HK Law, acted for us with our flat purchase. She is the most efficient and hard-working solicitor I've ever met!! So personable, and absolutely brilliant communications throughout. I honestly can't fault her, and would recommend her to anyone who is keen to have a stress-free property purchase or sale

HK have just completed the legal work on our behalf, related to the sale of a parcel of Land. In particular we would like to thank Charlie Bennett for all of her work in this respect. Charlie was great to work with, she kept in touch throughout the process always displaying a professional approach, combined with that all important personal touch, which is a real credit to both her and HK Law.

Roger Cole has been exemplary to work with navigating alternative commercial considerations and diligently addressing personal interests on behalf of a mutual client - Has adapted to understanding more complex requirements with ease; Whilst simultaneously delivering the most personable approach. It would be remiss of me not to include special mention to Lauren Costelloe who supported ease of contact and Sam and others who manned the switchboard. You don't encounter this kind of interaction normally with solicitors. Where they are truly exceptional is how they manage direct contact and responses so effectively.

Will look forward to an ongoing working relationship. Thank you Roger and team.

Excellent Will Service.
Peter Stagg Senior Associate was informative & courteous from start to finish, very professional,& answered all our concerns & questions with clear independent advice.

I would highly recommend Humphries kirk. Which I already have. Anna Davies and Linda Chandlerare are great to work with. I particularly like the friendly and down to earth touch. This is the second time I have used their services very professional.
Thank you.
