Settlement Agreed!
Nikki Coward did a very good job in bringing my dispute to a successful conclusion. She was assisted in the latter stages by Beth Reid, also a very good solicitor.
In my experience I found Nikki friendly, helpful but above all very professional, who has a profound knowledge of her subject. I was confident throughout the whole process that I was in good hands.

Invaluable help
Heringtons Solicitors helped me during a long process of solving a freehold issue. They were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. They also have been very good during a lengthy process of creating new leases. I can only highly recommend Heringtons Solicitors - they are very efficient and knowledgeable.

Property Damage Reparations
My co-freeholder caused extensive damage to my flat as a result of building work carried out to improve his share of the jointly owned property. He proved difficult and unwilling to accept responsibility for the damage caused. I sought reparations and compensation and Heringtons took on my case and achieved success in all aspects of the dispute. Despite becoming both complex and protracted the case was professionally handled throughout by Nikki Coward and eventually concluded most satisfactorily.

Kind and courteous
I found Nikki very kind and courteous but very professional at the same time. She kept me well informed at all times as to the progress of my case. If Nikki did not know the correct way to proceed with something, or the answer to one of my many questions, she sought advice from others in your firm before proceeding. In turn making sure I had the best possible advice and information. I will be very happy to have Nikki represent me in the future, and I would and have recommended your firm, and Nikki, to others for any legal matters they may have.

Excellent service
Nikki Coward has given excellent service to my company; she was able to comprehend the most difficult technical work and at the same time foresee concealed pitfalls in respondents submissions and negotiate a good result from a high profile London legal firm. Well done!
