Most private individuals only come into contact with solicitors during a stressful time in their lives – moving house, going through a divorce or being taken to court to name but three.  At Hawkins we recognise that, at such times, clients are vulnerable and sometimes need considerable support.  That’s why we invest so much time and energy in training our staff not only how to do their jobs from a technical perspective but also how to help clients through what may be a traumatic period in their lives.

We believe that’s the “difference” at Hawkins.

Not that we ignore the technical legal issues.  As you would expect, we ensure that all our staff are fully up to date with their particular areas of the law.  We look after our staff so they can look after you.

Again, that’s the “difference” at Hawkins.

Where we are not so different from many other firms of solicitors is in the areas of work where we have expertise.  We are a “general practice” and we offer a full, first class, and professional but seamless service to private individuals.  Legal Aid is also available for some areas of work. 

Areas of work where we have particular skill and experience include:-

• Accident claims
• Crime
• Disputes and the Courts
• Employment
• Family and Divorce
• Residential Conveyancing
• Wills, Probate and Tax
