overcharge and under perform

Herrington carmichael acted for my company in a sale of 3 pubs. They asked for £10k in advance and then proceeded to issue invoices for work that had not been requested despite my firm instuction that no work should be carried out without my instruction. They then issued a small claims court case against my firm for non payment of invoices for work that had neither been requested or authorized. I also received fines from HMRC for work that they had been instructed on but missed filing dates. The property work they had done previously had been satisfactory but I would not use them again and definately not pay fees in advance.

We used Herrington Carmichael to assist with a neighbour dispute regarding trespassing. With Daniel’s support, we were able to achieve our desired outcome in a timely manner. Daniel was approachable, clear in his communication and instructions, and provided us with well-informed advice on the best options for resolution. All communication was transparent, and any costs incurred were clearly explained in advance before work was undertaken. We would not hesitate to use Herrington Carmichael again for any future legal services and would definitely recommend them to others.

Exceptional Knowledge and Support Throughout

I would like to extend my sincere thanks for the exceptional work over the past couple of years. Your depth of knowledge, clear guidance, and professionalism ensured we had thorough and comprehensive information needed for counsel to secure an agreement in what has been a difficult case. I truly don’t believe we would have reached this outcome without your help. I am extremely grateful and I would not hesitate to recommend your services.

As first time buyers using HTB, we were really nervous about the whole process. We’ve been told time and time again that solicitors are awful, they won’t respond, you’ll have to chase them etc. Well this was not our experience at all! Laura Oakley was incredible from day one, replying to emails within the day every time despite my many questions. We had an issue with having to ask for permission to keep pets in the property and she sorted this and got consent for us within days (as you can imagine this was sooo stressful for us so we were grateful for the speed she did this in!) I’ve called their offices a few times when I had questions I wanted to get sorted quickly and she (and whoever else picked up) always responded in a very friendly manner, like nothing was too much. We’ve just Exchanged and I’m hoping completion goes just as smoothly. Couldn’t recommend Herrington Carmichael more, I truly believe our journey has been so smooth due to Laura’s commitment to helping us

Liz Hailey and Lisa Kennelly of Bonnetts solicitors in Ascot recently acted for me in the sale of my house. Having bought and sold a number of properties over the years I know how important it is to instruct a proactive and experienced solicitor. Liz and Lisa were extremely helpful and communicative providing regular updates on progress throughout the sale process. I was extremely impressed and will undoubtedly recommend Bonnetts to friends and family.

We have used Bonnetts many times over the years and Martin has just successfully handled what was at times a tricky and fiddly commercial property sale. Throughout the process he was available for my numerous questions or if he wasn't he'd call me straight back, he gave sensible advice without too much jargon, he kept me on the straight and narrow and generally did a great job on our behalf. Plus he was just pleasant to deal with - an all round good egg! Thanks again Amanda

Conveyancing Excellence

The conveyancing team at Herrington Carmichael were excellent - from initial engagement through to post completion. Throughout every step of the process their communication went above and beyond my expectations. The team who looked after me were polite, professional and friendly, explained each step and request in a simple to understand way and I felt them support me as a true partner during the purchase process. I never had to chase for anything, the proactive approach was consistent and so was the service level. Definitely my ‘go to’ firm and I will use them again for any legal needs. Well done Herrington Carmichael!

Support through divorce proceedings

Paul Wild and Aadil Khan supported me so well through my recent divorce. They provided me with hugely helpful advice and guidance about the law, and enabled me to make the right decisions and take the right steps which ultimately benefitted me through my divorce. They were generous with their time and their advice, and very patient with me through a very stressful process.

Purchase property- First Time buyer

We had a great experience with the New Build team, who handled our conveyancing throughout the purchase of our new home. I had a long list of detailed questions throughout the process, and every question was answered promptly, clearly and professionally. They were both extremely helpful, responsive and reassuring whenever we needed clarification. The whole process was incredibly quick and smooth, and we really appreciated how efficiently everything was handled from start to finish. Thank you, for all your hard work and support throughout the process. We really appreciate it and would definitely recommend them to anyone purchasing a new-build home.

I couldn't recommend Paul Wild and the team at Herrington Carmichael highly enough. Paul recently assisted us with a legal matter, and his professionalism, expertise, and guidance were second to none throughout. He made the entire process clear, manageable, and far less stressful, achieving a fantastic outcome. If you are looking for a highly skilled, approachable, and supportive solicitor, I thoroughly recommend Paul and the firm!

I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude to both Jed Temple & David Mortimer at Herrington Carmichael. During a very stressful, unexpected and difficult time with a neighbour dispute we were so incredibly relieved to have the support, kindness and brilliance of both these people. Whilst covering all legal grounds needed, our options fully and honestly, they were mainly caring and understanding. I personally really took from their grounding nature and intelligence as such comfort during a very stressful time. Thank you both again for all your support. Highly recommend!
