Michael Herford is a ‘stand out practitioner’ and ‘the name to note for fraud cases (Legal 500 2021). Michael was a finalist in the UK Diversity Legal Awards 2021 and was noted as ‘a truly excellent solicitor: charismatic, energetic and engaging’ (Legal 500 2020) and a ‘recommended lawyer’ (Legal 500 2022).

Michael specialises in criminal law and is dedicated to representing clients on a wide range of the most serious and complex cases, often involving multiple defendants, many of which have been reported in the national press over the years.

Due to his consistently accurate legal advice, he ensures the majority of investigations he is instructed to defend are discontinued.

However, if his clients are charged, Michael will ensure the highest quality of representation where no stone is left unturned to seek an acquittal, or if guilty, that the minimum possible sentence is imposed by the court. As part of his meticulous preparation to present his client’s case, he will hand-pick specialist Counsel to provide the most formidable defence available.

‘Michael Herford has an outstanding ability to instil complete confidence in even the most difficult of clients. He is utterly dedicated and provides savvy and realistic advice. A street fighter disguised as an amiable and affable gent’. Legal 500 2023

At a time in my life in which I was truly at my lowest along came my amazing solicitor Michael Herford. He put me at ease straight away and felt passionately about my case. He built an amazing team with Filiz and Katie, and they all did everything they possibly could to defend me. They did exactly that! Without him I don’t know where I would be now. Thank you.
