Latest testimonials

“Tiffany is very calm, clear and concise. She has the ability to take the client’s emotion out of the case which is rare. She is very timely and never inflammatory – something that the client can sometimes be guilty of. She is highly skilled in shaping correspondence which quietly lands punches without being offensive. I would recommend her to anyone."
Client Testimonial

"Tiffany and her team were excellent and provided sound advice and great support to me through a difficult and emotional time and brought about a successful conclusion to the issue, keeping me informed of the progress, highlighting the options and potential costs. I would have no hesitation to recommend Hewitsons as a very professional practice and Tiffany Benson as a specialist probate solicitor."
