When purchasing my first property, I encountered various legal difficulties with my first appointed firm, so much so that the completion of my property was in jeopardy. I then came to Ruby at Howard Kennedy under high recommendation and am pleased to say herself and the firm were professional and helpful until the very end. Her expertise and thoroughness were extremely reassuring, she was friendly and approachable with all questions no matter how small. And Ruby personally made the whole daunting process much easier, as I knew I was in safe hands. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Ruby and the firm, and would absolutely use her services again in the future. Many thanks to you again Ruby!

John Kiely was an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped me with my appeal process in a prompt and clear manner. I'm grateful to know my appeal has been successful. Wish him and the firm good luck.

In a world where most solicitors are infamous for shaking you down, I had the pleasure of encountering Adam, my hairdressing customer turned savior. During a casual conversation while I was cutting his hair, Adam discovered my ongoing legal predicament and graciously offered his assistance without charging me a penny. It is a testament to his kind-hearted nature, even though I knew I couldn't afford his services.

As a solicitor at Howard Kennedy, Adam deserves the highest accolades for his exceptional contributions in resolving my intricate business lease concerns. Unlike numerous solicitors who proved ineffective in untangling my complex situation, Adam's legal acumen far exceeded my expectations, solidifying his reputation not only as an outstanding legal practitioner but also as an authentic and compassionate human being.

Engaging with Adam proved to be a transformative experience, revealing his profound comprehension of the nuances of commercial law that surpassed conventional expertise. His meticulous attention to detail, combined with an unparalleled ability to navigate the labyrinthine intricacies of my lease agreement, demonstrated an unrivaled finesse. Throughout the entire process, Adam consistently displayed a remarkable capacity to dissect and decipher legal complexities, providing astute guidance and strategic counsel that defied conventional boundaries.

However, it is Adam's remarkable character that truly sets him apart. His pursuit of excellence extends far beyond the boundaries of professionalism, as he forges genuine and meaningful connections with his clients. Through his empathetic approach and compassionate demeanor, Adam not only instilled trust and confidence but also fostered a sense of true understanding. His unwavering dedication to my case and his genuine commitment to securing the best possible outcome resonated deeply in every interaction.

The quality of service I received from Adam defies comparison. His unparalleled expertise, coupled with his exceptional interpersonal skills, distinguishes him as a preeminent solicitor capable of delivering superlative results.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse Adam as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking legal assistance. With his expert guidance, you can rest assured that your legal matters will be handled with utmost professionalism, proficiency, and care. Adam's unwavering dedication, both as a legal expert and as a sincere confidant, elevates him to a rarefied position within the legal profession.

I worked with John Kiely for the Tech Nation visa application appeal. I had a very positive experience with John and would recommend him to others looking for professional, well-structured help with their UK Global Talent/Tech Nation visa application

Disgraceful service from lawyers who were only interested in taking money and advantage of those in a vulnerable situation. They took nearly £10k and gave no advice, and when asked to give advice, asked for more money on account. They sent many long emails failing to give advice, to listen to us as clients and failing to act carefully, proportionally or responsibly. The detailed list of hours was provided and the people who had "billed" us were people we had never spoken to or seen emails from. Totally unethical and driven by greed to drive fees up for themselves. A short sighted approach. Strongly advise to avoid at all costs - if you need legal advice, find another firm.

I would highly recommend Howard Kennedy for conveyancing. We had the pleasure of working with Pervaze Ahmed, he was exceptional and went above and beyond to help facilitate the purchase of our home. We were particularly impressed with how responsive he was - it really helped speed up the process.

We have originally instructed the firm or a Tier 2 application matter on a fixed fee basis and the full fee was paid upfront.

However, the firm attempted to increase the quotation for our subsequent Tier 2 applications in the due course, this gives us no confidence with a stable pricing with Howard Kennedy LLP in the future. Given the work doesn't exceed our expectation and the current quotation is already several times higher than other law firms, we have decided to terminate our instruction with Howard Kennedy LLP and requested a refund.

Surprisingly, the firm has rejected our refund request even though no major work has been carried out on this matter.

Beware when paying upfront with this firm, you might get nothing back.

My personal injury claim was dealt with by a female paralegal that provided ill advice, spoke down to me, didn’t listen to my wishes, made incorrect assumptions; placed profit above my mental/personal interest; prolonged a case that could have been fast tracked by my own insurance legal team.

I felt that my personal interest/mental state had not been taken into account given the low monetary value of the claim and the subsequent distress it caused. I wish no other client to endure the same experience, especially the tone and manner of a junior legal member making someone feel so belittled.

If you want to actually see any of your compensation, find legal representation elsewhere with someone that will be clear and transparent regarding the costs/process and won’t leave you feeling belittled; AND most importantly will place your well-being first.
