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.

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!

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.

Great team at Heringtons in Battle. We have employed them for Will & POA services as well as conveyancing and been very happy with the service. Always responsive and easy to reach when needed. Understanding and professional approach. Thanks
Thank you Mark for your review. Much appreciated. We're glad to hear you were treated well.

Wills, Trusts & Probate
A client
Charlotte Callaway has been my solicitor since shortly after my husband's death in May, 2024. She has guided me through all alternative routes that may be chosen during a bumpy legal and emotional time without ever actually advising or indicating to me a route to choose. Armed with the information appropriate to each scenario, I have made my choices and Charlotte has dealt accordingly for the best outcomes. Bearing the above in mind, I have chosen Heringtons to store all important papers when/if my Executors require them. I have also advised my Executors to call on Heringtons, if needed.

We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we walked through the door by the receptionist. Our Solicitor, Amanda was brilliant in helping us with our new Wills and POA's. She is very easy to talk to and explained everything that we weren't sure about or didn't understand. It was a pleasure meeting her. We will definitely use Heringtons again and highly recommend Amanda. Thank you.

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.

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! We will be sure to pass on your kind comments to her. Thank you for choosing Heringtons, and we wish you all the very best for the future.
