“Mr Benson was efficient, friendly and a very good listener – also very helpful.”
Some years ago, my late husband and I decided to employ Hart Reade as they are a well known, long established local legal firm and I have since been very satisfied with their services and advice.
I received excellent professional, friendly help. Would be most happy to recommend Hart Reade to friends, especially John Benson

Most helpful and courteous.
Everyone on the staff was welcoming and professional. From your receptionist onwards I felt my affairs to be in good hands. Mr Benson explained things to me and the matter was expected to be finished by Christmas which it has been; fees were accurately quoted so I knew exactly what to expect. I would confidently recommend your firm to others. I am sure they would receive the same care and consideration.
