Karen Viney For Personal Injury Services Chartered Legal Executive Wendy Langridge: "I approached Gaby Hardwicke Solicitors in March 2014 after my previous solicitor's company folded. My personal injury claim was ongoing for nearly five years at this point... I searched online and sent a brief to Gaby Hardwicke explaining my circumstances. Ms Wendy Langridge phoned me straight away and arranged a meeting for that same week. "Wendy was so nice and helpful and eased my fears. It has to be said she did more for me in that one year than my previous solicitors had in five. Another shoulder operation later and I had an offer I was happy to settle for in February "I would highly recommend Gaby Hardwicke Solicitors. Wendy always kept me in the loop, and was always at the end of the phone if I ever needed anything explaining. Based in Bexhill, she was always happy to meet me in the Eastbourne office. Dealing with insurance companies can be stressful and time consuming, but having a good solicitor makes life a lot easier. I only wish I had gone to Gaby Hardwicke to begin with... "Although I will suffer the effects of my injury for the rest of my life, the relief of settling my claim and being able to move on with my life makes me so thankful to Wendy and her team.

Words cannot express the work you have done for me." Ashkan Pitchforth, South Cliff Ltd

9 For Associate Solicitor Clare Riddall: "I write to express how pleased I have been with Clare s work in the matter of the financial and children hearings associated with my divorce.

Mrs J. Lowe For Senior Partner David Young (contentious probate) and Partner Richard Ostle (probate): "I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your colleague, Richard Ostle, for all the kindness and exemplary professional services that you have both extended to us.

From the first moment we stepped into Gaby Hardwicke s offices, it was clear that we were in a very friendly and professional place.

I found you and your service very efficient and professional and a very welcome change from the feet-dragging, time-wasting and costly services I have come across before." Nigel Harris For Personal Injury Services Chartered Legal Executive Wendy Langridge: "About 12 months go I suffered a severe laceration to my leg caused by an accident in a shop. I was at first reluctant to pursue the business in question for damages as I thought it would be quite a complicated procedure. After a meeting with Gaby Hardwicke, who agreed to take on this complex case, I felt reassured that to pursue was the correct action. From that moment on they took complete control of the case, keeping me well informed at all times of the latest position.

14 For Family Law Services Partner David Young: "I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for all your help throughout what has been a very difficult time. "When I found myself in need of a divorce solicitor, I had no idea which way to turn so I discreetly asked around for recommendations. The only name that was mentioned to me as outstanding was yours. That was some considerable time ago now and as I am standing near the end of this nightmare looking back, I can honestly say that it is a reputation well-deserved and one to which I am more than happy to add my endorsement. From the very outset my faith in your ability and determination to serve my best interests has never been in question. I am eternally thankful that you never found it necessary to be drawn to lower the tone of communication to that of opposing counsel, but remained patient, objective, insightful in your appraisal of the situation and completely honest in managing my expectations, even when it may have been easier to be less direct. Your calm, measured approach and unerring professionalism has guided me through something, which to the uninitiated, can seem complex and very daunting. "There is no doubt in my mind that you have secured a better future for myself and my children than I may otherwise have been able to enjoy, had I not been privileged enough to find someone of your calibre. Words do seem inadequate, but I hope this note, in some small way, conveys my respect and eternal gratitude for the positive opportunities you have now made possible in our lives." K. Rooney For Associate Solicitor Gemma Ritchie: "Just a short to thank you for all your efforts and particularly for the last few days frenetic activity. As you know we signed and completed yesterday afternoon and I really appreciated your input right up to the last minute.

Clive Gawler, Red Alert Ltd For Personal Injury Services Chartered Legal Executive Wendy Langridge: "I was very pleased with the level of service that I received from you and found you to be both easily contactable and simple to arrange appointments with. You listened to my concerns and I felt that you gave me good advice. You were prompt and efficient with my case and I was fully satisfied with the settlement that you obtained on my behalf. In closing, I would say that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to others, or to use you again in the future, should the need arise." Ms B. Blotko

Weller "I am writing to let you know that Deborah [Blackhurst], who has been handling my purchase, has been amazing and, after many delays caused by the housing association, her efficiency, advice and hard work has helped bring the matter to a close and I will be completing at the end of this month.

Although our case had been rejected by two other firms, from day one everyone at your office had given us full support and kept us informed at each stage. We could not have hoped for a better outcome to what had happened but with your great knowledge and advice, we knew we were in a good professional and caring business.
