Testimonials

  • WHN Solicitors was instructed to defend a claim brought by a manufacturing supplier which related to orders placed by Custom Shop Designs for the manufacture of swivel plates used in the conversion of vehicles to camper vans.

  • We have been using WHN for business contract law and debt recovery for around three years. After a long period jumping from law firm to law firm, usually due to inadequate advice, poor communication and slow responsiveness, we finally feel we have found a legal company that fits the bill for our business. Their advice is concise and accurate, they always respond to every question or task in a timely manner and their fees are completely reasonable. I would highly recommend WHN and especially Sara Beaumont in the business section.

  • I have used WHN Solicitors twice in recent times for assistance in two challenging legal cases faced by our company.  In both instances, our assigned solicitors Paul Matthews and Sara Beaumont were very helpful and were able to break down the complications of the legal jargon into something easily understandable to allow us to make the correct decisions to move forward.  In both cases, they were prompt, professional and easy to work with.  We would have no hesitation in recommending and using WHN again in the future.
