Testimonials
"My experience of Irwin Mitchell solicitors was everything I needed it to be at a very difficult time. My solicitor, Ellen Hitchman was kind, a great listener and extremely competent. She provided me with brilliant advice, gave me the sense that she is someone who likes to win and was on my side and by my side when I really needed someone who knew what they were doing. She helped me to find the solution to my problem and I will always turn to Irwin Mitchell for any legal support I require from now on." - 5* Google Review
"Hiring the Irwin Mitchell law firm, specifically my solicitor Ellen Hitchman has been the most professional and thorough experience I could ask for. I am in the USA and needed immediate assistance from a law firm in the UK to assist me in a very turbulent family matter. This firm has been very responsive to all my needs and making sure I understand all UK laws in regards to my situation and have given me the reassurance I needed with this very complicated case and not being in the UK. I am very grateful to Ellen and her team at Irwin Mitchell." - 5* Google Review
