I first went to a solicitors who made me agree to some horrendous conditions, I then changed to Mark Leyshon. As soon as I changed, the case went smoothly, I couldn't recommend Mark and Hopkins Law enough, without them I wouldn't have my daughter. I have so much admiration and respect for Mark & Hopkins Law

I just wanted to say that Hopkins Law and Emma, you have been brilliant in what I know has been a protracted sale. You were always on top of the situation and responded to all queries quickly and diligently. I can't thank you enough for all your help and I would highly recommend your services. It fills me with confidence that you are also acting in our (eventual) purchase.

Morning Mark,
I would just like to say a huge thank you for carrying out our request so quickly and efficiently - this was a huge weight lifted from my shoulders once complete. I will have no hesitation in working with yourself or anyone within the Company if we need to in the future. Once again thank you very much.

Julie was as cool as a cucumber and reassured me. She referred me to Mark, and he has truly changed the situation in a matter of days. Together, they have been superb and very selfless - both have clearly acted in my best interest and this feels rare in this day and age. Mark had so much empathy and it was clear from the outset that he just wanted to help me resolve it. He was responsive and he gave me confidence that he would sort it. Julie has completed the sale and I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond. I can't thank your colleagues enough for the help they have given me

Applying for various court orders can be extremely stressful for any individual, especially for me, regarding my difficult personal circumstances at the time. However, when appointing Sally, ALL the stress and worry were immediately taken away. I was able to relax & have faith in her for the entirety of the court application process. Forever grateful for getting the job done so quickly & efficiently.

Well thanks to you, Liane and Helen, we did finally manage to move. The fat was well and truly in the fire and you and Helen really did douse the fire for us and we are so very grateful, especially as you were all already very busy with the Stamp Duty deadline looming. With our grateful thanks.
