Michael Herford is a ‘stand out practitioner’ and ‘the name to note for fraud cases’ (Legal 500 2021) and ‘a truly excellent solicitor: charismatic, energetic and engaging’ (Legal 500 2020).
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.
