Would highly recommend

Nikki Coward's excellent understanding of residential leasehold property law and perseverance against unaccountable freeholders (and a very unhelpful opposing solicitor) saw a successful outcome to my claim. Throughout the case (2022-2025) Nikki has been accessible, friendly and supportive. I would highly recommend Nikki, her colleagues and Heringtons Solicitors.

Great help, brilliant support, but costly

I found Nikki Coward at Herington’s to be extremely helpful, supportive, friendly, and clear with her advice on a complicated matter. She was brilliant and I would recommend. My only negative is that bills came in much higher than advised. But in terms of attention to detail and care taken on my case, faultless.

Settlement Agreed!

Nikki Coward did a very good job in bringing my dispute to a successful conclusion. She was assisted in the latter stages by Beth Reid, also a very good solicitor. In my experience I found Nikki friendly, helpful but above all very professional, who has a profound knowledge of her subject. I was confident throughout the whole process that I was in good hands.

Invaluable help

Heringtons Solicitors helped me during a long process of solving a freehold issue. They were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. They also have been very good during a lengthy process of creating new leases. I can only highly recommend Heringtons Solicitors - they are very efficient and knowledgeable.

Property Damage Reparations

My co-freeholder caused extensive damage to my flat as a result of building work carried out to improve his share of the jointly owned property. He proved difficult and unwilling to accept responsibility for the damage caused. I sought reparations and compensation and Heringtons took on my case and achieved success in all aspects of the dispute. Despite becoming both complex and protracted the case was professionally handled throughout by Nikki Coward and eventually concluded most satisfactorily.

My/our initial meeting was with Nikki Coward to explain our request for legal assistance. Nikki was a credit to the Company, she listened to us before giving her professional opinion. When she was unsure, Nikki admitted so, saying she would need to check first, before getting back to us. So 5⭐️ for a very proactive initial meeting, and looking forward to giving another review, upon a positive completion of our request.
