Clients praise Hesketh Henry's property team, particularly Richard Chen, for smooth first-home purchases, proactive coordination, and practical advice. However, multiple negative reviews highlight extremely high costs, poor representation in disputes, and frustration with estate management, leading some clients to switch firms. While some clients appreciate the firm's expertise, significant concerns about value and service quality are common.

Thanks for the informative first-home legal session. It was a great event! Thanks to the invite from the Commercial Bay Club as well. I am interested in the next first-home partnership session as well. I will bring more colleagues of mine to the session. I would also recommend my lawyer, Richard Chen, from Hesketh Henry’s property team. Richard helped me with buying my first home of the plans and made the whole process run smoothly from start to finish. His knowledge and expertise in property development was impressive. The fee was within my budget.
Very happy with HH's property team's assistance with our property matter. Richard Chen provided intelligent and practical advice. He was proactive in coordinating with all the other parties. The project progressed smoothly, despite the potential for the matter to end in a mess. Instead, we achieved a good result. Highly recommend!
Great lawyers, two thumbs up 👍👍
We hired Hesketh Henry to represent us as suggested by our business association. We found them extraordinarily expensive and was very disappointed with the quality of their work. We feel strongly that they did not represent us or what we hired them to do, allowing the opposition's attorney to prolong and dictate the case. We honoured each and every deadline yet the opposition was not held to the same standard. We have since worked with two other law firms who are one-third the cost, easier to contact and communicate with, fairly represented us, and a far more favourable experience in all ways.
Hesketh Henry handled my father’s estate. I found them extraordinarily expensive and was very disappointed with the quality of their work. We became so frustrated we changed lawyers.
