Making my will

The solicitor was a pleasure to deal with, friendly, approachable and confidence-inspiring. I found her efficient, professional and knowledgeable and I fully trusted and appreciated her advice. I felt I had received 1st class service and would most certainly use Heringtons Solicitors again.

Superb service

This was all done by phone/email and letter in a very professional way. Although I did not see Denise it felt like I had. Many times we had phone conversations. She is so friendly and helpful

Fabulous warm service

Kayla was excellent in supporting us in creating our wills and LPAs. She very clearly explained all we needed to know enabling us to make decisions that were right for us. Kayla's approach and manner were exceptional and without hesitation we would use her in the future if we had need to.

I received a great service from Denise. The sale was not entirely straightward and Denise gave her time and valuable advice and was fully approachable and professional throughout.
I was very grateful for all of the support received.

We have just gone through the process of assigning a commercial lease and I have to say I have nothing but praise for Richard Palmer. He was extremely helpful from start to finish. I would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for keeping me sane through quite a difficult time.

About this branch

Description

We’ve been serving the people of East Sussex for around 250 years and can trace our history back to the firms of Raper & Fovargue in Battle and Dawes Son & Prentice in Rye in the mid 18th Century. There has been a lot of change and growth since then but we are still firmly rooted in the local community, combining legal excellence with a highly personalised service – for local people and businesses. Although constantly improving our use of technology to provide the most effective legal service, we still take the time and care to build one-to-one relationships with clients - a traditional way of working that’s fast disappearing in many law firms. As a client, you will usually work with the same lawyer and legal secretary throughout each engagement. There are some exceptions, such as in matters where you may need more than one specialist but, in most cases, you will have the dedicated support of the same well-qualified and experienced lawyer. We are accredited with the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) so you know that when you instruct us on a residential conveyancing matter, you are in safe hands. Whatever your legal need, whether personal or business, we look forward to helping you.
