Professional and thorough whilst still being approachable, kind and gentle. Nicola handle every query and concern in an efficient and clear way.

Gill is a true professional and extremely easy to talk to. Id recommend her personally to anyone requiring legal assistance.

Rebecca helped me complete a protracted divorce process. She navigated the myriad of challenging technical issues, showed great patience and professionalism over many years, while also firmly representing my case to the very end. I highly recommend Rebecca without reservation.

We instructed Robyn to draw up our Wills, Powers of Attorney and to revoke a survivorship destination in our property title. Very thourgh and exceedingly polite, Robyn explained everything to us as we went through the process. All in an excellent service, thank you!!

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’. I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did. I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

I was really pleased with the service. Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable, and efficient. She kept me informed every step of the way during my divorce.

Having had a poor experience with my previous solicitors, Nicola Starbuck was a breath of fresh air. Very professional but easy to understand with a straight forward approach.

It’s never something you even consider when you get married, but sometimes things change. Upon my wife and I separating I had no idea what to do. We have all heard the horror stories of loosing everything, but I was guided by Natalie as to the process and the best course of action to ensure a reasonable and fair outcome for all involved. She and her colleagues at Herringtons were kind, polite and professional. I would highly recommend Natalie and Herringtons as I know through experience that they do a first class job.

Darren proved to be very professional, hard working and efficient while remaining human and empathetic. He was also clear and fair. Nobody can take your hand in these tough situations, but they can go at your pace, lay out the facts clearly and help you focus on the key issues. I felt that Darren knew his area of expertise, demonstrated competence so that I could trust him, and then I was able get on with matters at hand. It's a thumbs up from me. Thank you.

Mei-Ling was always very clear with her explanations & always took time to make sure that she had explained everything clearly to me. My previous lawyer had constantly confused me & I felt as if she jumped from one thing to the new expecting me to understand everything about the legal processes for a divorce.

Ajantha handled my FLR(M) application as an unmarried partner, and from the moment she took it on she went through everything with me point by point. Nothing was assumed and nothing was left for me to guess at. Every time I contacted her she came back quickly, and the answers were never generic. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in the US and in Korea over the years, and what stood out here was that she responded to my actual situation rather than reciting the rules back at me. When something was unclear she told me what it meant for me specifically. There were several points where the online system threw errors, and more than a few where the problem was simply my own mistake. I know I made her job harder than it needed to be. She never once let it show. She stayed calm, told me what to do next, and made sure I did not panic about any of it. On more than one occasion she was still helping me well outside office hours. When the decision came through she let me know straight away, before anyone else, and she sounded as pleased about it as I was. That is not something I expected from a solicitor, and after months of waiting it meant a great deal. English is not my first language and immigration rules are hard to follow even in plain English. Ajantha made the whole thing manageable. I will be applying for an extension in a few years and I would not consider going to anyone else. Sincere thank you for everything, Ajantha.

Very professional & friendly made me feel at ease . Listened to me & very understanding and explained everything to me that I could understand. For going through a very difficult time Katlyn was there for me all the way through. Great service and would highly recommend.
