“I felt handled with compassion and patience”
I want to Thank You enormously for the manner in which you handled my rent divorce case. quite apart from your legal expertise which was 100% SPOT ON! I would like to commend the sensitivity with which you dealt with the case due to the high emotional stakes involved. I found the case harrowing and I felt handled with compassion and patience throughout especially when needing you to reiterate advice about the complex option. Thank you for your steady and very capable handling of my case. Your measured approach and carefully evaluated tactics produced a swift and outstanding result, one which I frankly thought impossible. Well Done and many, many thanks. Yours gratefully. PK

“Best service and communication”
Best service & communication from any of the previous Solicitors I have ever dealt with, will use them next time. Thanks again.
“I will never forget your kindness and empathy”
Recently completed a long battle with my divorce and Sharon Ferguson from hbc solicitors has been by my side and guided me throughout all of this most horrible experience. I found Sharon to be both professional and caring. I would like to take the time now to thank her for all of her guidance and support along this journey that has taken almost 2 years. I would highly recommend this company as my experience, although at times was quite upsetting Sharon always put me at ease and gently guided me appropriately, while being completely honest with me and my expectations. Also the lady on the reception desk when you enter the building ( I’m so sorry I do not know her name ) was always so very lovely in her approach and the greeting of myself as a customer. ‘Thank you, so much’ Sharon Ferguson for all what you have done and achieved for me. I will never forget your kindness and empathy.
“I would highly recommend Sharon/HCB Solicitors”
Sharon made what was a very traumatic time run very smoothly. Couldn't have asked for a better service. Sharon was always readily available and easy to contact and resolved any queries in a timely, efficient manner. I would highly recommend Sharon/HCB Solicitors. Once again, many thanks HCB.

“Efficient and professional”
Victoria and her team were efficient and professional in concluding the financial settlement for my divorce . I would be happy to recommend them to anyone
“I immediately knew that she was a safe pair of hands ”
When I met Victoria nearly three years ago I was just about to start divorce proceedings which I never expected to be as painful and traumatic as they turned out to be. Victoria had been highly recommended to me and as soon as I met her I knew I could trust her 100%. Being a lawyer myself and having to “change my hat” to being a client was not difficult when I realised how professional Victoria was. I immediately knew that she was a safe pair of hands and followed all her advice during the divorce/custody proceedings. During three long years I have not been let down by her even once. Victoria treated my case in such a way that she made me feel that my case was unique. She listens very carefully, she is very professional, wise, quick and clever. Victoria is also very practical and she goes straight to the point. Victoria doesn’t miss a trick and she will use all the ammunition you give her to try and win your case. She is very approachable and cares about the emotional state of her client (I believe that this is important when your clients are going through the trauma of a divorce).
“The service offered by Victoria and her team was outstanding”
The service offered by Victoria and her team was outstanding. Providing professional advice in a friendly manner, I would happily recommend.

Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.

Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
