Ross assisted me during my divorce and consent order. Every step of the way Ross was there, when I had a hissy fit he was at the end of the phone, responded to emails and even managed a face to face! (All took place during covid) Ross was amazing, I would say I wouldnt hesitate to use him again, but that would be a lie.never will I marry again! Anyone wanting a family solicitor, I would highly recommend Ross Hubbard.

Just want to thank Hopkins Solicitors and in particular Ross Hubbard for the amazing job he did on my case. It was not easy and Ross made the whole process as smooth as possible. No questions were left unanswered by him. He was kind extremely professional throughout. Would have been very difficult to go through the whole procedure without his help. Thank you very much Ross!

I met Tina Spencer for my new Will. She was professional and very friendly, putting me at ease immediately. Through being very thorough she found a potential problem that was not addressed at the time of my divorce many years ago, and quickly sorted it for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Hopkins.
