Hodge Jones & Allen is well-equipped to deal with complex cases involving financial exploitation and disputes. It has also taken over deputyships from other firms due to the breakdown in the relationship between the client and the deputy. The ‘well-regarded’ Christine Dyson specialises in acting as deputy for people who have suffered catastrophic injuries. Patrick Allen is another key contact, while Sarah Charnley joined the firm in July 2023 from Fletchers Solicitors.
