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

Sale of our property, Karla was amazing!

Due to many contributing factors we had a very long sale process but thankfully we were assigned Karla to manage things for us and she was great. Always contactable and working right to the end of the day and beyond to ensure things kept moving and chasing responses. As a result we'll certainly be using this solicitors and specifically Karla with the sale of future properties.

Professionalism you appreciate.

I told various interested parties the I believed Oliver Williams would be ideal in dealing with our case. I was aware of the normal expectations in dealing with a solicitor, but I hoped for a bit of simple communication and explanation. Oliver Williams exceeded my expectations! Oliver Williams made the choice himself, to use additional communication via the telephone and not just rely email exchanges. Olivers professional approach was aided by his demeanour of listening, entering discussions and explanations of several stages to obtain the required objective. I hope going forward, other Solicitor Firms take Olivers approach, which will only enhance their reputations aswell. My thanks go to Oliver and his colleagues who I had the pleasure of talking to. Oliver needs to change nothing about his approach as he's perfected it. I wish everyone at Herrington Carmichael best wishes, and say thank-you Oliver Williams, it was my pleasure in working with you. I, without doubt, will recommend Oliver Williams and Herrington Carmichael to friends and family, if they find a need for Legal Advice and representation. Well done Oliver Williams.

Outstanding service, exceptional diligence, and genuine client protection!

We recently completed our new-build home purchase with Herrington Carmichael, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Our transaction was entirely self-funded and involved several complex stages—from rigorous compliance and source of funds checks to last-minute boundary plan amendments (amended TP1) from the developer's side. Throughout the entire journey, the conveyancing team provided absolute peace of mind. A very special, heartfelt thank you goes to Gabrielle Tague. Gabrielle was truly exceptional. What impressed us most was how she consistently looked out for our best interests as buyers. When an unexpected boundary modification arose right before exchange, Gabrielle proactively called us and advised waiting for the updated Land Registry search results rather than rushing into an exchange blindly. Her advice protected us from potential title risks, and she handled the developer’s solicitors with firm professionalism. Her communication was always prompt, transparent, and reassuring during high-pressure moments. We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Jessica Brooke, who finalized our completion statement, meticulously handled our SDLT documentation, and confirmed our completion funds swiftly, ensuring everything was lined up without a hitch. Finally, thank you to Lauren Murray for confirming our legal completion promptly on the day, guiding us through the final handover step, and clearly setting expectations for the Land Registry application. If you are looking for a legal team that is highly professional, thorough, and genuinely cares about protecting you, Herrington Carmichael is the one to choose!

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!
