Family wins High Court battle to overturn will leaving £400k to hairdresser.
Judge tells travelling hairdresser to repay money after Will was altered barely 2 months before death.
MoreOldham’s Pearson Hinchliffe Solicitors has brought on board Tracy Crompton, a matrimonial specialist, to strengthen it’s highly regarded family law team.
Tracy Crompton, who started her career over 20 years ago at Mossley solicitors Harold Stock and Co, has joined the 6-strong team, making it one of the major independent family law departments outside of Manchester city centre.
Department head David Hinchliffe, said: “I am delighted that Tracy has joined the family law team at such a busy time and would like to wish her a long and successful career at Pearson Hinchliffe. Tracy comes to us with an excellent track record and will complement our principle of offering clients a sensitive, caring yet highly professional service to the people of Oldham and beyond.”
"Our firm has always had one of Oldham's pre-eminent family law practices." said partner, Daniel Prince. "Our clients expect and get professional and experienced advice. In addition, they deserve ready access to their solicitors, along with unwavering support in these sensitive cases. Tracy brings added strength to our group. Her caring nature and dedication to clients are qualities everyone immediately senses and appreciates."
Pearson Hinchliffe’s Family Law department focuses on assisting clients in all aspects of family law, from pre-nuptial agreements and divorce, to financial and children matters.
Tracy revealed she was attracted by the opportunity to become part of such a well-regarded legal team: “Pearson Hinchliffe has an unrivalled reputation for client care. I have worked in larger firms where you don’t get to know your clients very well. I love to work in a way where you get to know your clients – I think that approach lends itself to greater client satisfaction and better outcomes.”
She added: “The set up here is also clearly extremely professional and well-organised. I will look forward to becoming an integral part of this efficient and successful team.”
David Hinchliffe commented: “Tracy’s expertise and experience in family law comes from specialising early in her career – and it is something she remains passionate about. We place great importance on maintaining first-rate client relationships. We are confident we have found the right person and look forward to introducing Tracy to clients over the coming weeks.”
