With every day bringing new advice and guidance, we recognise that we’ve had to adapt our business model to provide advice, assistance and legal solutions for our clients. Although our office premises are closed, we are operating our services as usual.

At this time we would like you to meet our solicitors who are working remotely to deliver services in our usual professional and efficient way.

Joanne Higgins – Joanne graduated with a Law degree from Queen’s University, Belfast in 2016 and she then attended the Institute of Professional Legal Studies, graduating with a commendation in 2019.

Joanne joined HHD solicitors in September 2019 having trained with a local Northern Irish solicitors’ firm in conveyancing, wills and probate. She previously worked for a further year in the conveyancing department of another busy local firm.

Joanne is a member of HHD’s conveyancing team and has experience in representing clients in matters of house sales and purchases, transfers of equity, re-mortgages and equity release mortgages. She also has experience in dealing with transactions involving the Northern Ireland Co-Ownership Housing Association and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, amongst other housing associations. Joanne works closely with Jenna Boyce and Damian Deazley dealing with property matters, commercial cases and licensing issues.

Joanne will endeavour to ensure your conveyancing matter is straightforward and deal with your file in a professional and supportive manner. She is a confident communicator and has a certificate in ‘Start to Sign Language Skills’ from IPLS.

Joanne has further been awarded a ‘Degree Plus’ Certificate in acknowledgement of her voluntary work throughout university life and is also a member of the Belfast Solicitors Association – www.belfast-solicitors-association.org and the Law Society of Northern Ireland – www.lawsoc-ni.org

In recent weeks due to the Coronavirus pandemic and restrictions within Northern Ireland, Joanne has been working remotely from her home consulting with clients, estate agents, financial advisers and lenders. Joanne’s view from her desk at home (in the photo attached) is certainly uplifting in these uncertain times. Joanne tells us she is glad of the current good weather for her lunchtime walks.

At Higgins Hollywood Deazley solicitors in Belfast our aim is to provide our clients with first class legal advice and sound practical support. #BusinessAsUsual

Thank you #staysafe
