  • Amanda Careli

JH certainly break the mold where Solicitors are concerned! They dealt with a complicated house transaction that involved a BTL remortgage on our existing owned property, a residential mortgage & residential purchase. Sue was always extremely efficient. She dealt with all matters promptly & thoroughly. The transaction progressed smoothly & speedily because of her professionalism. I never needed to chase her because she always actioned things straight away & kept me up to date with progress. JH & Sue in particular were a complete breath of fresh air. She took a lot of the stress out of what is usually a very anxious time. I would have no hesitation in using JH’s services again for any legal matter and in recommending them on to others.

  • Kasim Hussain

A follow up to my previous review, my matter is not complete, after it taking them over 5 months to complete a simple no chain property purchase! Following the completion I made what I think may have been a complaint with Andrew Eagle, Senior Partner who email by email disregarded all my comments and concerns around my matter. Talking to ANYONE within this company (and believe me, I’ve spoken to at least 5 people) is like talking to a wall. You would probably get a better response from the wall in fact, at least the wall wouldn’t lie, shift blame and disregard all of your concerns and issues. Never would I ever recommend Josiah Hincks in any type of law matters, what I would suggest is literally any other solicitor!

  • Katie Kouzaris

I came across Josiah Hincks when googling best solicitors in my area. I was put in touch with Laurie who first of all dealt with my Transfer of Equity and then onto a purchase of a property. I couldn't have asked for better service. Laurie was always so helpful, very responsive and on the case! She made a particularly stressful and life changing time in my life a little bit easier and helped me to purchase my dream home, for myself and young son. I will be forever thankful for the service Laurie gave to me. Laurie was professional yet personable throughout. Anyone that deals with Laurie is in great hands! Thank you Laurie, you are great at what you do! :)

  • Simon

A poor experience with their conveyancing team. Unwilling to complete a fairly simple transaction within a 7 week deadline despite all other parties eager and ready to complete. Advising me to prepare to extend the process further. Refused to provide estimates of when they will complete their side of the work. Single line answers to emails with no empathy or consideration shown. Using COVID as an excuse to be as ambiguous as possible around their working practices. No explanation of the process or likely timeline. I suspect they are prioritising their most lucrative cases. Pricing is not particularly competitive either, so definitely a firm to skip.

  • Martyn Score

Excellent conveyancing work for a difficult, retrospective first registration with HM Land Registry. My solicitor (Laurie McAulay) was always very approachable, friendly, timely with her responses, efficient and thoroughly professional throughout. I particularly like having direct 'phone and e-mail contact which gives a more personable experience. I will definitely be using Josiah Hincks again when the need arises ... and particularly Laurie McAulay for any conveyancing requirements.

  • Karen Graves

I used Josiah Hincks to help me sort out and finalise my parents affairs and the service, advice and care I received from a conveyancing and probate perspective was excellent. Not only was it an emotional time I was also at a disadvantage by living some distance away and so all matters were dealt with remotely. They could not have been more helpful or understanding. I would use Josiah Hincks again and very happy to recommend them to others.

  • Elliot Dent

I have dealt with Steven Mather on a couple of occasions with two separate matters. One of the matters was also assisted by Edward Liddell. Both matters were having a huge affect of my life and both needed settling. On both occasions the gentleman produced the outcome that I desired. Throughout the process I was dealt with honestly and professionally. Money well spent and the highly recommendable. Regards, Elliot

  • Chetan Mehta

I have used Josiah Hinks for two different issues. This time I worked with Dhamini Patel who was acting on my behalf of selling our property. She was very professional, thorough and informative at all times. As well as being approachable and easy to get hold of, which was of utmost importance, since we were dealing with a sale of a house from abroad. Strongly recommended.

  • Glen McGraw

Josiah Hincks was not the first name that springs to mind when looking for help with a will, but having found them it should have been! We wanted a local firm with a branch near our home in Syston. We received a first class service from start to finish from Emma Longstaff who explained everything step by step and we will use the firm again without hesitation.

  • Jessica Merryfield

Really helpful solicitors. These guys know their stuff and you really feel they are genuinely on your side. Honest, practical, sound advice, no jargon. I would want them on my side and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs legal help and advice. I certainly wouldn't want to go up against them! Awesome solicitors who give 100%

  • Julia krolski

We have been with Josiah Hincks for approximately 10 years. Emma Longstaff, dealt with updating ours will in a very professional and efficient way. She was always willing to discuss any question. Extremely pleased and we will certainly use again should circumstances dictate Anthony and Julia Emma Krolski Leicester, 27 of October 2020

  • David Hobson

"You dont know what you dont know" and thankfully Justin knew everything I wasnt aware I needed to. He handles all the technical matters, got all the required detail and walked me through the process, step by step. He also managed our landlords erratic requirements very well. I felt very confident of the final lease upon signing.

  • Chris Young

Great service and communication from Jessica Jones at Josiah Hincks. I am not a customer but an estate agent who had a client using this firm of solicitors and Jessica has been fantastic. A breath of fresh air when it comes to being updated and being advised on what is happening to the transaction. Thank you.

  • JB Commercial Finance

I have dealt with several members of Josiah Hincks both on a business footing and also for a personal investment property purchase last year. I have always been impressed by the professionalism shown by the firm and the depth of experience within the practice. They come with my full recommendation.

  • Juliet Macleod

I went to josiah hincks not expecting very much but came away much more positive due to the responsiveness of the solicitor. The outcome was far more than i expected. I was treated with respect by everyone. I wouldnt hesitate to go to them again should i need their services in the future.

  • Fiona Gregson

Poor response times, poor actioning of undertakings. No customer service. Complaints badly dealt with and the crux of the matter glossed over and ignored. After releasing them from their service, they proceeded to slap us with a huge bill which was not in line with the original quotation.

  • Dave Smith

The service provided for the conveyance of selling and buying property was very professional yet in a friendly way. Any queries were always dealt with in a timely manner and was kept informed. The price quoted was very reasonable and no hidden costs. Overall excellent service. Thank you

  • Victoria Pratt

Vickki has been really supportive throughout my claim especially due to personal circumstances I’ve had to endure during the last few months. I appreciate every effort made by Vickki to successfully win my case, the justice has helped begin the process to move forward with my life.

  • steve elliott

I dealt with Steven Mather and Russell Dowling who helped sell a piece of land for me . Every aspect was dealt with efficiently and with total respect to all the parties involved. This was a great experience and I will very happily recommend Josiah Hincks in the future. Thank you.

  • David Measures

After over 50 years of using a Solicitor for various reasons. I have finally found one I can recommend. They were good in every respect, even when I got frustrated, which was entirely my fault, due to my bad experiences from previous Solicitor. Will use again. Thanks David M
