Paul Wild - Herrington Carmichael

I would highly recommend Paul, I used his service for my matrimonial financial resolution and his attention to detail and professionalism were second to none. I found Paul to be very calming for me as his manner is exceptionally good and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Paul made my case run smoothly and without issues and I feel very lucky to have had him 'on my side'. The communication was great and easy to understand with exceptional advice throughout. Thank you so much. I also had the pleasure to work for a short time with Madelyn Wellstead (paralegal) and she was very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Very easy to contact and speak to the team via the telephone. Clear in communications and kept to the original quote and its contents. Where decisions were required to be made, options were presented in an easy-to-understand way. Very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

Conveyancing of our property

My wife and I would like to highlight the outstanding work that Ellena Balshaw did in the conveyancing of our property. She managed the original sale, when we moved into rental, and then the purchase of our new property. Ellena showed true ownership throughout, demonstrating excellent communication skills, always getting back to us, staying late at times and working over the weekend to meet deadlines. She has excellent knowledge in the subject matter and we cannot praise her highly enough; we will always go back to Herrington Carmichael and ask for Ellena to manage and future purchases. We would also like to thank Joshua Watkins for his overall management of the conveyancing.

Spousal visa - great success!

Herrington Carmichael provided an excellent service in applying for a spousal visa for my wife. In particular Usof Shah who provided timely advice and action at a time where upcoming changes in the visa rules were going to potentially stop me from being able to bring my wife to the UK. Thankfully this was not the case and I was very impressed and will certainly be using them for any future immigration matters!

Great experience with Herrington Carmichael

Herrington Carmichael helped us with our first property purchase and we can’t fault the service we received. The team were very responsive and kept us in the loop at all times. They were really helpful when we had questions and made sure the process went smoothly from exchange to completion. Highly recommend!

We were kept fully updated and all our undertakings have been professional , timely and efficient , We had challenges with not getting clear advice , as people without a legal background and doing this for the first time we struggled with some legal terms which were not simplified to make it easy for us to understand and to assist us in decision making , we struggled making decisions regarding our purchase despite numerous requests we couldn't get some of the legal jargon simplified to us and we didn't get advice upon requests , we were just required to make uninformed decisions as our requests for advice were turned down . But finally everything went through smooth though .

I had my Lease Extension from a Housing Association completed with Herrington Carmichael LLP acting as my Solicitors.
I promised Samantha Laker my Solicitor a review when I received my final updated copies of the Land Registry documents. Sadly due to Land Registry taking over 1 year 6 months to process my papers, Samantha Laker has now left the firm. However, I happily leave the following 5 Star review for her and Herrington Carmichael as Solicitors:
I am diagnosed with ASD/Autism and ADHD. I was treated from the beginning with respect and support and understanding by both Samantha Laker and her colleagues at Herrington Carmichael LLP.
Samantha Lakers work was excellent: efficient and accurate throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending her work as a Lease Extension Solicitor.
Samantha Lakers work was a credit to Herrington Carmichael LLP and it was a pleasure to sign my new 990 year Lease with her at the offices. A day I will never forget.
I wish her well in her future career.
Thank you so much for making a daunting task such a pleasure.
Kind regards to all involved and a big Thank You.
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a fantastic experience working with Roisin for my remortgage. Roisin professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Roisin was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Roisin to anyone in need of legal assistance with their remortgage or any other property-related matters.
