We provide a complete service in order to meet all of your legal needs. We understand that it can be difficult to find a lawyer that you trust. We are proud of the fact that around 80% of our business comes to us from existing clients and referrals.

Announcement

We regret to announce the passing of our Managing Director, Geoff Kew, who passed away suddenly on 14th May 2020. Geoff has been a solicitor for over 35 years and has been in charge of Hewetts for over 25 years. Geoff was well regarded in the local legal community and as well as being an excellent lawyer, he was a talented, far sighted and innovative business man. He will be hugely missed by his family, colleagues and clients.

His funeral will be taking place on Friday 29th May 2020 and therefore our offices will be closed on that day as a mark of respect.

Due to the current restrictions, many of Geoff’s friends and work colleagues are unable to attend his funeral. We shall however be taking this time to remember Geoff and his family.

Coronavirus

Hewetts remains fully functional during the Covid-19 outbreak. We have been set up for home-based working for a number of years, and our business continues uninterrupted. We can continue to provide a full service to new and existing clients during this difficult time. We have stringent security systems in place so your privacy will remain as a high as if we were operating from our offices.

Whilst the current outbreak remains a threat, we ask our existing and prospective clients to have meetings over the telephone or by Skype, rather than in person. If for any reason you are required to sign documents we will make appropriate arrangements.

How we can help you

We provide a personal service in order to meet your needs, whilst also taking into consideration your budget. We enjoy building a lifetime relationship with our clients so that we can assist them in connection with their personal and business matters whenever they may arise. We work closely with local businesses, which enables us to offer a holistic service to our clients.

We are approachable, understanding and patient and can help with complex or simple legal issues. We can meet with clients at any of our offices or discuss matters over the telephone if more convenient.

We would always encourage you to take legal advice from a professional firm of solicitors such as ourselves. All of our solicitors are full members of the Law Society. We are experts in our field and we are happy to offer a professional and confidential service.
