FACING CLIENT FRUSTRATIONS HEAD ON ...
WE’RE NOT ALL TALK, WE ACT.
We’re here to shake up the industry and refresh practices. By changing the public’s perception of the legal sector we’re addressing some of the frustration when dealing with traditional lawyers.
Setting the agenda with 6 fresh standards for everyone at HM3 Legal to live and work by means walking the talk. This is just one reason why our lawyers are supported by comprehensive training, bringing to life our Vision and RISE Values (Respect, Innovate, Shine, Engage).
We think you’ll notice the difference.
#1
WOW SERVICE
Does the prospect of contacting a lawyer fill you with dread? If you feel like you get better service everywhere else but from your lawyer, you’ll wonder what you’re paying for.
We deliver legal care beyond service; every lawyer, every bl**dy time. An experience you’ll want to share.
Because we give a damn.
#4
ONE CENTRAL POINT OF CONTACT
At many traditional law firms, you may only have access to the lawyer dealing with your matter in hand. Or worse, a ‘gatekeeper’ so it can feel like you’re being put through to whoever is available at the time.
We’re now doing things differently. Our commercial clients can have a go-to person to support them, regardless of their question.
Simple.

No quibble.

1st class down to earth people who are empathetic, professional and efficient. A big thanks to Justine, Fibula and the team at HM3 legal.
Very impressed with Ceri Burns’ helpful, friendly and professional approach. Excellent service which is rare these days..
Me and my wife have recently used HM3 Legal for the purchase of our house and I would highly recommend them. They made the process really easy for us keeping us informed along the way of what was happening and supporting us by answering any queries we had. They have a great team with Christie, Sara and Theo helping us whenever we needed. We'll definitely be using them again 🙂
Mike was so quick to be on the phone and help us in a really tricky situation.
Thanks so much
He is a credit to HM3 legal

We have appointed HM3 Legal several times in the last few years. They have aways been very attentive and kept us informed at every stage. In particular we have found them to be very proactive in dealing with any issues arising and generally managing the whole conveyancing process most effectively. Recommended!
During a long drawn out process, Lucy and her colleagues kept us informed at every stage. They gave clear answers to all our questions and guidance in filling out the many forms. We would recommend this company for its professionalism and attention to detail.
Originally this company (Robert’s and Denye, a fine old-style firm of local and family solicitors then taken over by Hillyer and McKeown) wrote my parents’wills.
This year they were asked to make some changes and redraft and set up two LPAs. What they did was to farm out this task to a bunch of total cowboys working out of Manchester or Derbyshire(who knows?). This company has proved to be unprofessional and unbusiness-like (1.6/5 on Trust Pilot!). I asked Hillyer and McKeown (who have been taken over yet again) why this had happened without us being told and not agreeing to this and was told,”It’s what we do now. I can’t give you any more information.”
The “agency” as they are called the company are already not returning phone calls nor acknowledging e-mails…although they’ve taken all our money before we’d even signed a letter of engagement.
I can’t believe this is allowed to happen and will be taking further action. In the meantime they Hillyer and McKeown (HM3 Legal now) won’t be getting any more work from this estate.
Who sub-contracts work to a company with a 1.6/5 rating? Obviously somebody who couldn’t care less about their clients. To say I’m annoyed with them is an understatement !

My appointments were always not too far away date wise, my emails were responded to quickly.During my visits to the Chester office, I was always treated well by all members of the team.All my queries were resolved in a satisfactory manner, and I now have the safe knowledge that my will has been updated.My only negative is your introduction, in that you addressed me as Barry James. The latter is indeed my middle name, but not my surname..
HM3 Legal have been so helpful and supportive throughout. I have been able to contact the person dealing with my case directly without having to go through a switchboard each time, which is so refreshing. Emails are answered promptly, appointments run to time. Overall, I have been very impressed with HM3 Legal.
This is the second time that I have used HM3 Legal for employment settlement agreements, and once again they have provided a superlative professional service. Finnula contacted me right away from my initial email referring me to Deana Phillips.
Deana has been extremely proactive employing her natural communication skills, moving the process forward very quickly, and achieving a swift conclusion. She explained the legal jargon clouding the agreement, putting it into straightforward language. Making it clear to understand, and combined with her most amiable manner, Deana ensured the process was both pleasant and enjoyable, whilst maintaining a highly professional legal service.
I can wholeheartedly and without any reservation recommend the services of HM3 Legal for top notch advice, service and speed.
Thank you.

A lawyer friend referred me to HM3 Legal for advice on my employment matters. They were what it says on their website - bl**dy brilliant lawyers.
The advisory team, led by Justine and supported by Megan and Deana, has done a fantastic job. They consistently exceeded my expectations, managed all communication seamlessly, and kept me proactively updated at every stage of my case. Their fee structure was entirely transparent, I was always informed of the costs upfront before any work started.
I would not hesitate to use their services again.

Such a prompt response when I reached out and from start to finish always available to answer any questions I had. Deeply professional and I would highly recommend speaking to them before going anywhere else. Thank-you.
Great service from both Kathleen and Sophie., regarding a will dispute. Always available to help with any issues we had. We would not have got the outcome we had without there help. Thanks.
We’ve recently completed our service with Deana at HM3. Her compassion, professionalism and expertise can only be described as outstanding.
Throughout the last 5 months, Deana has been straight forward in her advice, being true to her word from day one. She is honest, avoids talking jargon and took into consideration the needs of the people involved and their personal circumstances.
The entire team at HM3 have treated us with the upmost compassion and we never once felt overwhelmed with the information and advice we were given. Deana worked at our pace and ensured we never felt pressured. She continually reassured us with our questions and concerns though our the entire relationship.
Highly recommended and thank you so much for all your support. We will always be grateful

We were guided through the process of making a will from start to finish, with all our many questions answered. Ruth and Abigail responded quickly to all our queries and were always available for online meetings when requested. Everything was explained clearly, whether in conversation or in writing, so that we felt happy throughout the process. We felt that HM3 Legal provided an excellent service for their fees.
We used Mike recently to recover a debt of over £30,000 which was very significant for a small business like ours. Mike was brilliant from the off and recovered the funds in full very quickly. Highly recommended.
Georgina and the team made me feel safe throughout the process. Georgina dotted the i's and crossed the t's, and even when I advised I wasn't too worried about certain clauses she struck the right balance between protecting me and being commercial. I highly recommend.
Professional and friendly. Provided good advice and all matters dealt with very promptly.

A very professional job, with excellent communication throughout the process. Highly recommended.
Frances Williams and her team were excellent in their approach to dealing.with my relative's.will and probate. They were able to explain everything regarding the financial and legal side in a way I was able to understand. Their service was completed in good time, with good communication throughout and they were a pleasure to deal with.
Your team was professional and very sympathetic as it was my mum who had passed away.I would definitely use HM3 Legal myself and recommend anyone in need of a trusted firm..
We found this company to be very approachable, down to earth and not pushy in anyway, great to deal with, and for once, I would fully recommend, which is not something I do very often these days. Dealt with our request swiftly and very professionally. Well done all,
HM3 Legal were easy to deal with and delivered satisfactorily on all fronts throughout the entire process. I recommend them highly.
We had issues getting money from a business client and Dani Norman and team at HM3 really helped getting money back
She was prompt with communications and kept us informed in the process.
We managed to recover 75% plus of money after more than a year of back and forth.
Thank you.

I rarely leave reviews, but I have to highly recommend HM3 Legal. I have had two matters that they have assisted me with, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. My family matters were handled by Emma Evans and Robbie Oates, who provided an outstanding level of service throughout. Emma and Robbie were incredibly supportive during some very hard times, and everything was dealt with swiftly and professionally, no matter how the other party tried to derail and delay! Each step was explained clearly to me so that I knew what was happening and what would happen next, and both Emma and Robbie really put me at ease with the difficulties that I was facing - they lifted huge weights off my shoulders. Having direct contact with them also made the process much easier - I never had to re-explain anything and I was always kept updated. They were able to find solutions to problems that I didn't think would ever end, and I am so grateful for all of their assistance, time and advice. Thank you both!
We used this service for personal wills. Very kind and courteuos service. thank you.
The service I received from Ceri Burns at HM3 Legal has been excellent. Ceri is professional and efficient providing clear information and support in dealing with both wills and probate. She kept me fully informed throughout the process which was very reassuring. Thank you.

HM3 Legal, in particular Frances Williams and Shannon Ashley went above and beyond to handle my parent's estate. I am overseas and they were able to use technology to keep the process moving forward and to save me having to make trips to their office. They communicated clearly via email, and addressed questions and concerns in a very timely way. They let me know when someone was out of the office and there was always a person to contact in their place if need be. When external processes took less time than anticipated they moved things forward as soon as possible rather than adhering to the planned schedule.
HM3 Legal delivered better service than expected and I would highly recommend them for wills and estate planning.

Ceri made the whole process as easy as she could, kept us informed of everything very promptly, and was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional, but showed empathy for our sad situation. Nothing was toomuch trouble, and she always explained everything and ensured we understood before she took went ahead with things. Would definitely go to her in the future. Thank you.
Due to a restructure, I was leaving my role and needed some legal advice. I was recommended to speak to HM3 Legal who would deal with my request professionally. The advisor I spoke to was Deana, who explained all the legal jargon and broke it down into easy bite sized chunks. Also gave me some advice on what to expect next. Very happy with the service I received.
Used HM3 legal for a will and power of attorney in relation to a family member....no complaints and no issues...everything done as requested and all done professionally and efficiently......would have no hesitation in reccommending them to any one else.
I had long divorce proceedings which I found to be very complex and at times difficult to understand. Holly Thomas was great at explaining everything and giving her advice, she put everything into plain English for me to be able to understand. Holly was always available, always able to give me direct contact.
Robbie Oates was also great at keeping me updated throughout and nothing was too much trouble.
This is not a nice thing to have to go though but thanks to Holly and Robbie, I felt fully supported the whole 2 years 7 months through! I would definitely say they both provided a WOW service.

I would highly recommend Ian Millington and the team at HM3 Legal Solicitors. From the moment I instructed them on a new commercial lease agreement, I was incredibly impressed by the speed of their response and the efficiency with which they dealt with everything.Ian reviewed the lease promptly, identified the key issues, and explained everything in a clear, concise and easy to understand way. Rather than overwhelming me with legal jargon, he provided practical advice that gave me complete confidence in the decisions I needed to make.The whole team were professional, responsive and a pleasure to deal with throughout.

I would highly recommend Clare to any of my peers. Her professionalism was exceptional.

Deana was professional, supportive and always went the extra mile to help. Thank you again for all your support.
Ceri and Chloe professional and so helpful with mothers Poa and will
I am very happy with the professional service Frances gave us . She spent a lot of time explaining the information ,and made it easier to understand . I will recommend this firm to friends if they need advice .
Happy to recommend the excellent Wills and Probate team at HM3.
From our initial meeting with Frances, we were informed of the methods and techniques to structure our wills in the most efficient formats.
Frances explained complex legal structures in easy to understand terms and was a pleasure to deal with.
Shannon was excellent with the back office work making sure everything came through promptly and in the right fashion.

Ruth and Abigail sorted codicils to my and my wife's wills quickly and efficiently. All interactions were friendly and pleasant, in the nicest of surroundings. Once again, HM3 performed excellently for us.
Deana Phillips was my advisor. She was extremely helpful during the process by breaking legal language down to be sure I understand it clearly. Thank you so much for your service. Highly recommend it.
Myself and my sister have just used HM3 for legal support when purchasing a business. We absolutely cannot say enough how fantastic the service was from Georgina Anwyl and Daniela Keogh. We were both very new and completely naive to anything and everything legal and could not have had better support and guidance! We mostly worked with Georgina and she was outstanding! Nothing was too much trouble, every call email and message was answered quickly, and what should have been a fairly straightforward process quickly turned into something alot more lengthy and complicated then any of us anticipated but Georgina was fantastic and we honestly couldn’t have done it without her or asked for any more! We are so so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to come back to Georgina and Daniela should we need any further support in the future. Thank you so much
Abigail provided an excellent client centred service during our meeting today. She was courteous, clear and concise, and thoroughly professional in walking me through a change to my will. Abigail also offered to take forward some additional points I'd raised previously. Excellent ambassador for HM3 Wills & Probate!
A massive thank you to Emma, Robbie, and Rachel in the family team at HM3 Legal Chester. They handled my divorce beautifully for me at a very emotional and unsettled time in my life. They gave me advice specific to my situation, kept me updated throughout, and explained everything to me along the way. They were all polite, supportive, and kind. I would recommend this team and HM3 Legal to anyone. I hope to never need their services again, however, if I did, they'd be the only solicitors I'd use.
Many thanks to everyone at HM3.

Deana was really helpful with my case; she really excelled in their Plain English Promise in breaking the legal language down so I had a full understanding. I’d definitely recommend in the future.
Could not fault Ceri Burns in her work and explanations whilst making the alterations to our request of previous wills. Because of extra grandchildren to our family tree.
Only 4 Stars because we were never notified as to the change from Hillier & McKeown to HM3 Legal.
It was only when we wanted to alter the wills that by good fortune I still had phone number of Hamilton Square. Well done to Ceri for patience and knowhow.

I would highly recommend HM3 Legal. Sophie was professional yet amiable from start to finish and was consistent at keeping me regularly updated through out the proceedings. HM3 made a very stressful period much easier to navigate, due to their skill, assistance and understanding.
I recently used HM3 for both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new one, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, Dan, Grace & Courtney handled the process with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication.
They kept me informed at every stage, explaining any legal details in a straightforward and accessible way, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel much more manageable. Emails and calls were always responded to promptly, and I felt confident that everything was being handled thoroughly and carefully.
What really stood out was their attention to detail and proactive approach. Any potential issues were identified early and resolved quickly, helping to avoid delays and keep both transactions moving smoothly. We had a few challenges with the sale of our property, but the team provided clear solutions with phone calls to explain next steps and alternative options if we needed them/

Excellent service received by Ceri Burns and team. We were kept informed of progress, she walked us through the process answering our questions and providing reassurance when needed
Deana was very professional, patient, and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her services at Hm3 Legal.
During a course of protracted and complicated issues in relation to my late brothers estate, Ceri Burns provided regular and timely updates regarding the progress and sound advice on the more complex issues that inevitably surfaced. Ceri was methodical and very pleasant in her demeanour and professional at all times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services and would most certainly use Ceri again without hesitation.
Sophie Bebbington supported me through a very challenging and emotional time, and her calm, clear guidance made an enormous difference. She was responsive, reassuring, and consistently practical in her advice. I’m genuinely grateful for her help and would highly recommend her.
The team all around were very professional and Lauren Douglas went above and beyond working late hours to get the deal over the line, very much appreciated..
Very happy with the results in setting up my family trusts handled by Francis Williams.
I have no hesitation in giving Lucy Furness a 5 star rating for her efficiency in dealing with an Easement on my behalf.
She kept me posted at all times and always returned telephone calls.I recommend her.

A great service with excellent advice and support. I would highly recommend this firm and the lawyer who supported me
Given advice which was easy to understand. All my questions were answered in full. Staff are excellent, helpful and polite.
I've recently used HM3 Legal to make a will and power of attorney. Both Sophie Prescott and Shannon Ashley couldn't have been more helpful and understanding when I met them both. Everything was explained clearly to me and my needs were met. Thanks to Sophie and Shannon this process was quick and easy. I'd recommend HM3 Legal if you're think of making a will.
I dealt mainly with Frances in Trusts and Wills and she was absolutely excellent throughout the whole process. My case was complex and had been messed up previously by two other firms but Frances was very quickly able to work out what on earth they had done then resolve it. I always new where I stood, what was being done, by whom and how long it would take. Pricing was clear and there were no nasty shocks. Frances was the first legal expert NOT to tell me what I wanted to hear and to actually be correct. She knew exactly what she was doing and made a horrendously stressful experience way less unpleasant. I cannot recommend her and HM3 Legal highly enough. I would definitely use them again.
I went to HM3 Legal to sort out my will. Frances was clear in what they would do for me. The service was prompt and professional and were always on hand to answer my questions. Very happy with my experience.
What I thought would be a daunting task turned out to be the opposite thanks to Frances Williams. From the first point of contact to completion her explanations and guidance were deserved of the rating above. Overall very pleased with the service given. Highly recommend HM3
I recently had occasion to update my Will and my business was dealt with by Ceri, who, apart from being very knowledgeable and helpful, completed the matter in a timely and efficient manner as well as answering all of my questions in plain English and to my complete satisfaction.I found that dealing with HM3Legal was very reassuring especially knowing that my affairs are now in very capable hands.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Thank you for your guidance, support, professionalism and knowledge throughout our moving process. We couldn’t have asked for better solicitors. The communication through the whole process was brilliant, we felt fully informed through out the process. I would highly recommend HM3 legal, and a huge thank you to Megan, John and Ceri!
I have no hesitation in giving this firm five stars - and even the CDM (Cadbury's Dairy Milk!) - for its efficiency in dealing with a legal document related to a utility service which began more than five years ago. At every stage, it has kept us fully informed, and it was completed today to our complete satisfaction. The case has been handled by Lucy, to whom we owe our thanks and gratitude for a service well done.
Excellent service throughout our claim. Kept us regularly informed of proceedings
Great communication and service from Lucy Furness. We instructed HS3 to work on a deed of easement in conjunction with SSE. I was kept informed along the way and got the desired result. I'll use them again for sure and ideally work with Lucy again too.
Cannot praise this firm enough. Lucy and her assistant Claire consistently kept us informed throughout our claim process. Explaining the various documents and were always just a phone call away to help.

Ruth’s professional approach and clarity of communication was very reassuring - an excellent experience!.
In each part of my situation, departments worked together seamlessly, kept me in the loop, and ensured the process happened effectively and legally, taking the emotion out of the situation.
Brilliant company to work with, friendly and kept me up to date every step of the way, thank you
Helped by signing my Statutory Declaration within hours of the request. Kind, friendly, prompt and professional.
Wills and probate were great but conveyancing the worst ever in 45 years, nobody had a clue, of 4 people, documents were lost, searches at last minute and evidently nobody read them asdifferent searches contradicted the other. Conveyancing treadmill, we will churn out the docs, at a high price, up to you if you want to go ahead. Dreadful
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the whole HM3 Legal team for their support during the sale of my garage. A special thank you goes to Theo, who was incredibly helpful, patient and always available to explain each step clearly.
I’m very happy with the service. I would gladly recommend this firm to anyone looking for trustworthy legal assistance.

HM3 are our trusted team of legal experts. There efficiency, legal knowledge and customer service is excellent. We would not use any other Solicitors.
If you need advice around shareholder agreements, contracts or anything corporate speak to Georgina as the information and overview has proven so valuable my business partner and I can't thank Georgina and her team enough, not to mention the speed in which they delivered the information - 100% highly recommend.
I’ve received outstanding legal advice and support from Ruth Marsh at HM3 over the past couple of years on a number of matters involving probate, trusts, and wills. Ruth is exceptionally knowledgeable, responsive and thorough, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer all of my questions.
Fees were clearly explained before work commenced and were fair and competitive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ruth and HM3 to anyone seeking expert legal support with personal or family matters.

Sectors we advise
As trusted legal advisers (largely to SMEs), we support a diverse range of sectors. This includes agricultural and farming family businesses, the visitor economy, digital and creative, manufacturing and engineering, transport and logistics, health care and veterinary, and professional services. There is no cost to ask how we can help.
Joined-up support
Unlike many legal firms, you will get access to the lawyer managing your matter and benefit from connected legal advice across our teams where necessary. By putting you at the centre of legal advice, you receive efficient and cost-effective legal support where you need it, and when you need it. We do not add unnecessary fees or delay.
Beyond the law
Our clear, commercially focussed legal advice is not the only way to keep moving forward. We take action to make a positive difference. As a Sustainable Palm Oil Champion we raise awareness, and are actively engaged in many community and charity activities. We believe every business can take action to create change.
Clear process
Clear and open communication and a transparent legal process helps you know where you stand. From day one we explain every step in plain English so you can understand options and make decisions to suit your individual circumstances. We help set expectations, make recommendations, and keep things moving forward.
