Client Comments
- “I have been through a hard time about my housing issue and I wouldn’t cope without Mr. Jack Crown’s help as he was so patient and professional and making everything easy for me to follow and explained to me any details about my case carefully. He would respond to my emails in less than 24hours. I really recommend him about any housing matters. He is so professional and experienced. I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for me.”
- “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Jack Crown for representing me in my housing matter. It was one of the most difficult and challenging issues of housing disrepair and structural problems of the building. You did the best job that I truly appreciate and my landlord offered me a substantial amount of compensation which I never thought they would. To me it was a great surprise to get a lot of money like this.
I am now waiting for the council to carry out works at the property. I recommend Hodge Jones & Allen Solicitors for anyone with housing problems and please ask them that you want your matters to be dealt by Mr Jack Crown. Once again, thank you so much Mr Crown for your professional representation. I appreciate the work that you have done on my behalf. I hope you stay safe and well.”
- “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.”
