Client Testimonials
I recently contacted Herrington Carmichael Solicitors regarding a rather complex legal family matter and the advice that I received was second to none. I was introduced to Aaron O’Malley in the Family Team, a very well informed and nice guy who not only gave a very detailed explanation of the various routes I could take and the implications of these, but managed to explain the complexities of this in a manner that I could understand as I don’t have a legal background myself. Although I live and work in London I found it easy to contact with Aaron even though he is based in the Camberley office. I can not recommend these solicitors highly enough and would advise anyone requiring advise in such matters to contact them forthwith.
Mr M
I would recommend the services of Aaron O’Malley. He helped me through a very difficult period in my life where I was separating from my x partner who has mental health issues and behaviour was completely erratic. He would challenge my thinking in a polite and professional manor and provided a sounding board to ensure the best outcome. I would certainly not hesitate to use his services in the future. Thanks for your help Aaron.
Mr C
Thank you again for all your help with what I have been through over the last year and a half. You gave me the confidence and belief to get through what has been the toughest time in my life. (You’ve got this) Thank you.
Mr D
Sarah Speed was excellent and I could not have asked for anything more. She was patient, professional, calm and reassuring throughout. She is the best!
Mr M of Marlow
Thank you for all your help and support – you’ve really been a great help and are a credit to the HC Team
