About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Divorce
Lola has been my solicitor for 14 months. She has helped me through a traumatic and stressful divorce. She has always been professional and kind and kept me informed of progress and procedures of the law. We have been able to see her face to face and communicate easily by telephone and email. She has always been helpful and worked hard on my behalf. Lola will always put clients first and I would definitely recommend that you have her on your side.

Stuart Wright

Tia Harrison at Heringtons Solicitors helped me resolve a deeply personal and longstanding family law issue involving paternity after a third party unexpectedly instructed a solicitor. I hadn’t planned to involve solicitors myself, and I felt completely unprepared when the situation was suddenly formalised. Tia handled everything with sensitivity and clarity while immediately understanding both what I wanted to achieve and what I didn’t. She explained my legal position in a way I simply hadn’t understood before, and then guided me through each step in the process to bring the matter to a resolution that I had genuinely feared might never come. Finally reaching that point after so long meant more to me than I can easily put into words. Tia’s fees were very reasonable, but the peace of mind and closure she helped me reach were truly priceless. I would recommend Tia and Heringtons to anyone needing support with family law matters.

Heringtons provided me with impeccable legal advice and dealt with my divorce with the upmost diligence and compassion. Natalie and Lola where empathetic throughout the prolonged proceedings, which concluded at an FDR hearing with a positive outcome, so thanks to all the team and Cerys Sayer who represented me at the FDR. The whole team prepared all documentation to the highest standards ensuring no stone was unturned. Highly recommended.
Thank you so very much for leaving such a wonderful review. We will ensure Natalie, Lola and Cerys are aware of your feedback. We wish you well for the future.

Very competent and good value divorce lawyers I tried to represent myself when I was going through a divorce but it was quite complicated and I needed a lawyer. I hired one who said he would act for me, but did not. I was then threatened with court action for non-compliance. I turned to Heringtons. They got up to speed on my case very quickly and got us back on track. They took me all the way through the process, including court hearings. It wasn't cheap but it was a lot less than my ex-wife paid for (presumably) similar advice and guidance. They were attentive and sympathetic throughout. Good job

Disgusted Dissatisfaction with Heringtons Solicitors Bexhill
It has taken 3 and half years to totally mis-manage dealing with my late husband's Will. As all that had to be done was sell a few shares, there was no need to go to probate. Furthermore, She totally overlooked the one bequest let alone offer me help to abide by my husband's wishes. This has all added to my burden of grief.
A representative from Heringtons LLP responded to this review
We’re very sorry to hear of your unhappiness with our service. We value your feedback and I’m pleased to see that one of our colleagues has since been in touch with you to discuss the matter.

I am very pleased to highly recommend Christine You at Heringtons for her excellent service during our recent house sale. We were fortunate enough to complete within just under 6 weeks of accepting the buyers' offer - remarkable in the current market! - and Christine kept us fully informed during all stages of the process and ensured that it was a relatively stress free experience.
Thank you, Nicholas, for your lovely review and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that Christine helped make your house sale such a smooth and relatively stress-free experience, particularly with such a speedy completion!
