We used Herrington Carmichael to assist with a neighbour dispute regarding trespassing. With Daniel’s support, we were able to achieve our desired outcome in a timely manner. Daniel was approachable, clear in his communication and instructions, and provided us with well-informed advice on the best options for resolution. All communication was transparent, and any costs incurred were clearly explained in advance before work was undertaken. We would not hesitate to use Herrington Carmichael again for any future legal services and would definitely recommend them to others.
Professional, informative and would recommend.

The first question most people need to ask themselves – is the dispute worth it? For instance, it might not be worth making a claim if it is going to cost you almost as much as you’re claiming.
Mediation is a much faster and cheaper option than going to court. Mediation has been around for a long time and would be carried out at an agreed venue (a solicitors or a hotel, but not at court) with each side in separate rooms and the Mediator shuttling between rooms helping you find that compromise acceptable to you both. If agreement is reached, that will be written down there and then, signed by both sides and can then be sent to the Court to be sealed. It will have the same authority as any other Court Order and as long as the agreed terms are then carried out, it brings the formal Court case to an end. Speak to our Mediators for more information.
