"Jane Baker was absolutely fantastic from the word go, getting the conveyancing process underway before the ink was dry on the client instruction and always making every effort to meet our target completion date – not easy when so much depends on the actions of 3rd parties. Regular updates were provided and all queries responded to within hours (sometimes minutes) with calm professionalism, enthusiasm and a disarmingly friendly attitude. Basically you can tell that these guys work very hard behind the scenes to make things happen. The result was that of all the hassles involved in a residential move, for us the conveyancing was the easiest and most worry-free aspect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jane and Healys to anyone."
M.Harris, Client of the Residential Department
"Robert Johnson has been extremely helpful in assisting us with our legal work, we will highly recommend Robert Johnson & Healys to our clients.“
Shazad Chohan, CEO Gulf Fuel PLC
"After much research we found Robert Johnson to act for us in respect of dispute resolution with a member of our LLP. Robert and his team were professional, responsive and were able to grasp the situation extremely quickly whilst maintaining a personal touch. Robert was always available to answer questions, even when on holiday!! Our dispute was resolved quickly without the need to attend court. We would recommend the services of Robert Johnson and Healys who require the services of a solicitor and would in need use them again in the future. Thank you for all you hard work, understanding and commitment to our case."
Cooci Associates LLP
"Four of us were involved as joint Claimants in litigation arising out of fraudulent misrepresentation. We were facing potentially huge losses. Robert Johnson of Healys guided us through the minefield to a successful settlement. His skills as a “devil’s advocate” were also extremely useful throughout the process whenever we were not all ad idem. Ultimately we were very pleased with the outcome and would (unanimously) recommend this Firm to anyone with a legal predicament."
Marcus O'Neill
“I required the services of a London law firm after being let down by my previous advisors. Fortunately I was put in touch with Robert Johnson at Healys. I came away from my first meeting with Robert feeling enormously reassured and not to mention relieved, that my case was now back on track. The most impressive aspect of Robert’s work on my case was his communication throughout. He was always available when I needed to speak with him and would often get in touch to provide detailed updates. Robert listened to me and fought for my case at an extremely difficult time for me. I have enormous respect for Robert Johnson and would recommend him without question."

"I instructed Robert Johnson to act for me in relation to a high value contractual dispute and am very pleased with the service I received. We achieved an extremely successful result after a 5 day trial in the High Court. I recovered the full amount of my claim plus costs on the indemnity basis. I was very impressed with the way in which Robert grasped the complex issues involved from the outset and guided me through the litigation process with ease and confidence. He was efficient, professional and exercised sound judgment. Robert's choice of Counsel, Jonathan Gavaghan of 10 Old Square, was excellent and I was very impressed with the way in which he presented my case at trial. The excellent service continued after the trial in relation to costs which were recovered in full to include all the costs of recovery. Robert exceeded my expectations.he is a first class litigation lawyer. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
Thilo Sautter
"Just a quick note to say I have used your firm with Michelle [Holford] acting. In all my years involved in many property transactions I have found Michelle exceeds any possible expectations in terms of client satisfaction. Michelle has without doubt “knocked the socks off” any competition. In my experience there are few who are happy working such extreme hours as often Michelle would be exchanging emails well into the night. It is so rare in any walk of life one encounters such an efficient, charming and intelligent individual who is prepared to “go the extra mile” for a client."

“I cannot thank Daniela Catuara enough for her efforts on my behalf over the past year or so. My Partner had used the services of Nicholas Taylor a few years ago and was very pleased with Healys' service, which is why I approached them. I came to Daniela early in 2010 with a dispute that had lasted for about 3 years, first as an LVT action against a leaseholder and then as a professional negligence claim against two separate firms of surveyors who had acted for me. At that time I had a strong sense of being let down by professional firms and this included another firm of lawyers whose service left a lot to be desired. The thing that struck me about Daniela from the outset was the speed with which she dealt with communications. In 40 odd years experience of dealing with solicitors I have never met anyone else so quick and efficient. In dealing with the solicitors on the other side she was always like a dog with a bone, never giving them any peace, and constantly harrying them until she got an answer, allied to this speed of action, was her sound advice both legal and commercial. As the case progressed I became more and more confident that I might eventually obtain justice and recover some of the money that I had lost. When I was offered by Healys a no win no fee agreement that was a great relief because for me it was the end of writing out cheques without knowing the outcome. In the end my case never came to Court, as it was settled with the good offices of a mediator all of which was organized by Daniela, and I walked away with a better settlement than I had ever expected. Thank you Daniela, for all your hard work, your understanding, your effort and determination on my behalf and finally for orchestrating a real victory. You have also restored my faith that the law and justice can come together”
Sidney Lilley, Hove
"I am ever so grateful to Robert Johnson and also Kerry Mclean for assisting me in this unusual and difficult case, I was updated regurarly and by email and telephone, important documents were hardcopied by post, I would highly reccommend Healys to anyone in need of Solicitors and I intend to continue to instruct Healys in the future. Thank You Healys."
John Kennedy.
"We trawled the internet and telephone directories assembling a short list of legal advisors, appearing suitably qualified, to guide us through a professional negligence claim against our previous firm of solicitors. Robert Johnson’s instant response coupled with his ability to grasp the overall situation concluded our choice. We were not disappointed."
Paul and Lynne Stonestreet.

"You [Robert] have acted for me in respect of a couple of matters and in addition you have given me some ad hoc informal advice. I would like to say that I have found your services extremely professional and efficient. As you know I was dealing with my sister’s matter with another firm of solicitors and I was not happy with their service. I got this matter transferred to you and the level of service/advice and the ultimate result which I got from you was brilliant. In addition I have always received prompt response from you and your team to any of my queries which I think is a really important part of customer service. I would recommend you to anyone without any hesitation. "

"Approached Healys after having struggled with a difficult litigation situation for some time. Robert grasped all of the issues in no time and set to work, applying his sharp mind and deep knowledge of legal issues, enhancing my own case and importantly providing peace of mind. Having dealt with a number of legal professionals on this case, I found Robert to be head and shoulders above the rest and would not hesitate in recommending him."

"I had a fairly substantial professional negligence claim to bring against my former solicitors. I believed that I had a good case but (as a consequence of my situation) limited cash available to fund litigation.
I contacted at least six firms of solicitors specialising in the field of professional negligence and Robert Johnson immediately stood out from them. He quickly grasped the substance of the case and proposed various funding options available to me.
I instructed Robert on a hybrid conditional fee arrangement which made the fees affordable to me. Robert also introduced me to Counsel who agreed to charge on a similar basis.
Robert’s handling of the case was extremely thorough and he kept me informed throughout, explaining the relevant law, procedures and strategies to me in a way that I could understand.
Despite the other side’s considerable resistance, my case was settled through mediation and the credit for the most satisfactory outcome must be attributed to Robert’s and Counsel’s handling of my case and which simply would have been unaffordable to me were it not for the funding arrangement that Robert proposed.
I would not hesitate to recommend Robert to anyone facing complex litigation."

“Sherborne Land is a small but fast growing commercial property developer and investor. Since 2005 Healys have provided all elements of the broad range of commercial legal advice that we, and our group companies, have needed. In 2007 I had to seek the advice of Robert Johnson in the commercial litigation department. I am extremely glad that I did – in January 2010 I was awarded substantial damages for a wrong that I had suffered. Although the whole process is obviously a fraught one which is not to be undertaken lightly, Robert helped me through with confidence, calmness and assuredness. His knowledge of both the law and the due process were excellent whilst maintaining an awareness of my commercial needs. It is undoubtedly true to say that during the time that the litigation lasted, I viewed Robert as a partner as well as an advisor, in no small part because he and Healys shared the commercial risk by undertaking the matter on a “no win, no fee basis”. Without his marvelous support I would not have had the courage to take action and would not be in the happy state that I find myself in today."

"I have used a number of companies over the years for litigation and have been particularly impressed with the service I have received from Robert Johnson at Healys. Most solicitors we have dealt with often take years to return a phone call and I have found that you continually have to chase them to take the next action - with Robert that was not the case. I can honestly say that I have never dealt with such a pro active solicitor. Thank you Robert!"

She was consistently extremely friendly and helpful whilst maintaining a very high degree of professionalism throughout what was, at times, a very difficult and problematic purchase. She worked above and beyond what we could have reasonably expected from her. It's entirely thanks to Sarah that this deal did not fall through - several times!

"I am absolutely delighted with the way Healys have handled our case. Right from the beginning your approach was highly professional in that you made it your first priority to ascertain that we did have a case before incurring unnecessary costs. What I found incredibly helpful and unusual was that Nicholas Taylor came in person to see the site in question. I found Nicholas Taylor's strong, confident, firm yet charming approach and manner to be masterful. He was very amenable to the defendant's solicitors, which was very helpful in truncating what could have been a long, expensive dispute. He also had an excellent bedside manner, quelling my nerves and giving me hope during the very worrying months of the case. I felt I was kept fully in the picture at all times, without having to ask what was going on. The result was a stunning victory due to Nicholas Taylor's immense skill, knowledge and application of the law to a very difficult situation. Money very, very well spent. I would not hesitate to use Healys again."
