Document Recovery – Deeds & Wills

Bates Wells and Braithwaite Solicitors are stepping up to support the Hadleigh community not only with their legal needs following the closure of Gotelee Solicitors but also by assisting former clients of the firm in recovering important documents such as deeds and wills.

Pop-up Law Firm – Hadleigh

Operating from Hadleigh Library every Tuesday, this initiative has seen a strong response from local residents, highlighting the growing need for accessible, community-focused legal services. In addition to free 30-minute consultations on Tuesdays, Bates Wells is also able to offer appointments outside of these times, subject to prior arrangement and availability.

Face-to-Face Consultations

The demand for their services has been driven by increasing frustration with impersonal, technology-driven alternatives.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to our pop-up office in Hadleigh,” said Denise Head of Bates Wells. “It’s clear that people value the opportunity to speak directly with a solicitor, and we’re proud to provide the kind of face-to-face service that’s becoming increasingly rare. Personal, approachable service is at the heart of what we do.”

Bates Wells is committed to providing flexible options for clients who may require assistance with wills and probate, family law, conveyancing, or other legal matters. The consultations take place in the library as it’s a convenient venue in the town, close to parking facilities, ensuring easy access to professional advice without unnecessary travel.

The firm’s dedication to the Hadleigh community reflects its traditional values of personalised legal support and community service. With plans to establish a more permanent presence in the town, Bates Wells aims to bridge the gap left by Gotelee Solicitors and ensure residents continue to have access to reliable and professional legal support.
