Footner & Ewing LLP - Southampton

Was recommended Footner & Ewing LLP from my work colleague who had also used their services for a house purchase.
Specifically Wendy Hewstone, who was very straight forward in everything I needed to do, also giving me advice on specifics to make sure I was covered legally for the house sale. Found the advice side very helpful as a first time buyer.

Would recommend anyone to use their services.

They're not responding to emails. You have to book an appointment to find out if they can assist you, instead of them emailing you to say whether they can or cannot help . Why do you need an appointment just to find out a simple thing like whether Miss Emma can assist or not ... Not recommend

Still yet to meet with the solicitor to gain access to a will. Phone calls don't get returned. Emails go unanswered. You have to chase up for information if you want anything done. Hopefully when I finally meet with the solicitor I will have something more positive to say about my experience with Footner & Ewing (formally Access Law)

I recently engaged Access Law for their conveyancing services after they had been recommended. I have been pleased with the way they acted on my behalf. I found them to be knowledgeable, efficient and quick. I had a complicated issue concerning a property charge and a difficult ex-partner. They were effective at handling a sensitive situation in a professional and trustworthy manner. Consequently, I had no problems or delays. I fully intend to use Access Law again and would recommend them without reservation.

We have used this company for various reasons and at all times have received a professional and efficient service from them. Alan Knight dealt with the sale of a property for us which was particularly difficult. He was proactive and handled a difficult situation courteously and professionally. Wendy Hewstone has helped us write our wills, again a difficult situation handled efficiently and has sorted out our land registry documents. I would have no hesitation recommending them.

Excellent service from senior partner and staff who handled my late Mother's probate and sale of the house. Very friendly and empathic and the fees were very reasonable : less than I was originally quoted. I would not hesitate to recommend them. My best wishes to Wendy and all at the office.

I decided to use Access Law for the purchase of my house. My husband and I are first time buyers and so needed a little bit of guidance through the process.

I googled lots of firms and received lots of quotes, Access Law weren't the cheapest but they were good value, and I am glad I paid the small additional amount to have a solicitor in Southampton for ease of signing/dropping off paperwork.

We were very pleased with the service we were given. Alan was always professional and helpful - he was available on the phone or via email whenever I needed him and answered all of my questions. This doesn't seem the case with most solicitors so it was very reassuring. He was quick to prepare the documents we needed and, unlike many other firms, did not charge the £50 fee per person to sort out our Help to Buy ISA bonus payment. There was a slight issue with a restrictive covenant on our property which he handled carefully and advised us at every turn.

Overall I would highly recommend Access Law as a buyer, and will most likely return to them when I need to sell this property.

Brilliant! Had an emergency Family Court hearing. Wendy Hewstone was AMAZING and managed to pull together representation for me with only 2 hours to prep before the hearing when no other solicitor would help due to the short time. Barrister Robin had only an hour to prep right before the hearing and was absolutely BRILLIANT!! Well done and thank you to a wonderful legal team! Highly recommend!! Dominique S.
