Great experience

100% professional with loads of experience in family law. Sebastian was direct and detailed and helped guide and navigate me during a difficult time through an exhaustive and confusing process. He was able to keep momentum and ultimately avoid court. Thanks Sebastian!

Incredibly professionalism and client care

I am not sure I will be able to express just how grateful I am to Sebastian Devlin. From the moment I contacted Heringtons Solicitors, I received professional and clear communication in an incredibly time bound way from everyone which was incredibly reassuring. Sebastian's professionalism and legal knowledge put me at ease immediately. But what will remain with me was his compassion, care and kindness throughout. In a situation I found overwhelming and needed legal assistance to resolve, there was no-one better. I am so very grateful that Sebastian was 'in my corner' and fought for me when I was unable to. Thank you. You helped change my life for the better, literally.

Excellent service

Sebastian was a brilliant solicitor to have on my side, he is thorough, caring and very supportive. My divorce was at times very stressful and challenging, but Sebastian was always there with excellent advice and a listening ear to explain the next move and how it can be achieved in a clear and concise way, which gave me confidence and the strength to keep going. I will always be grateful for his understanding of feelings and emotions involved at a time when I felt completely overwhelmed and vulnerable. Thank you Sebastian, how glad was I to have you fighting my corner!!!

Sebastian Devlin took over our legal case, when our original solicitor took her maternity leave. I was naturally concerned about continuing with someone different, I need not have worried, Sebastian took on the case effortlessly, put us all at ease and was friendly and professional, I was extremely impressed with his timely communications, and of course the positive outcome of the case which he tenaciously fought on our behalf. Sebastian made a difficult time, so much easier for us all with his reassuring manner.

What an amazing firm! I required a statutory declaration form to be signed and they went above and beyond to help. And the kindness and friendliness that they showed made it so easy. Thank you to the lovely ladies on reception, Hannah and Steven. I would definitely use you again and would highly recommend you.
