Client Comments
- “Anna was very professional, she led me through a somewhat new process I was unable to digest with family or friends with confidence, care and honesty. I would highly recommend to anyone finding them-self in need of legal aid.”
- “Absolutely excellent and efficient service. I could not fault my solicitor [Anna]. Excellent service and advice from start to finish, a great help and relief for when I needed it most. So helpful with advice and being there on screen to see a friendly face. I felt very comfortable and had absolute confidence in my solicitor. My appointed solicitor telephoned me the very next day to see how I was, and keep me up to date with a follow up e-mail. I had never been in the situation I was in before, I had an excellent result due to my experienced solicitor and a great relief to me.
I would absolutely recommend Hodge Jones & Allen to anyone seeking Solicitors advice. Would definitely use them again should I require.”
- “Regarding Anna Jemmison. Very polite, professional and excellent advice and service. Made me fully aware of my legal rights and how to conduct myself in the interview which has helped me to overcome my problem.
I would recommend her to anyone because of the level of professionalism in which she conducted herself.”
