Client Comments
- “I got into a big housing problem due to the virus and I got Jack Crown as my solicitor. He did absolutely everything and beyond to help me. He is not just an excellent solicitor but an extraordinary man as well. His knowledge, professionalism, politeness, kindness, compassion is exceptional! I am a suspicious person and not really trust anybody, however, I would trust him with anything! If you want the best to represent you that’s certainly him. I know the firm reputation is excellent but this firm is really lucky to have such an excellent man working for them! Thank you so much for your hard work.”
- “I had to make a claim for disrepairs, as my housing association were not doing the repairs when I reported them. And these issues went back as for as 20 years. And It was getting me down and I was at my wits’ end.
And then I was referred to Hodge Jones & Allen Solicitors. Well look no further as I was amazed as not only was my case dealt with in three months. My housing association are going to do all the repairs and more. So we would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr Crown. And thank you Very Much Mr crown for everything you have, done and yes I would highly recommend your company and your good self and will definitely use you again if there are any other issues that may arise in the future. Thank you very much again Mr crown on behalf of my father and my self.”
