Client Comments

“Jacob Bartholomew-Smith, under the supervision of Edward Sharp at HJA, supported my elderly and vulnerable mother with her housing case. From the start, they were professional, knowledgeable and compassionate, which made a stressful process much easier. They gave us clear advice, kept us updated on timelines and ultimately helped us move from Property A to B then to C. Their hard work secured a suitability review, which confirmed that Property C was unsuitable for my mother’s needs. What really stood out was their attention to detail e.g, going through all our paperwork carefully and their ability to explain things in a way we could easily understand. They genuinely fought for my mother’s rights and we always felt they had our best interests at heart. Communication was prompt and they guided us through every step, making sure we knew our options.”
