Asbestos claims
At HHD we provide specialist expert advice in relation to compensation for asbestos related diseases for victims and their families and deal with all claims in an expeditious and sympathetic manner. We specialise in obtaining compensation for victims of asbestos related disease. You may have been exposed to asbestos many years ago, but only recently developed symptoms. It may be you are concerned that the firm you worked for no longer exists or has been taken over and you will not be able to claim. This is why it is important to instruct Michael Hollywood, a specialist Solicitor who has experience in dealing with asbestos related claims on behalf of the victims and their families. Michael Hollywood is one of the most respected experts in this field, and with over 20 years' experience, he is one of only a very few solicitors in Northern Ireland to provide detailed asbestos expertise. Meticulous care, coupled with compassion and sensitivity are the hallmarks of Michael's approach to working with clients and their families. At HHD we have represented clients who have previously worked in Belfast's shipyard, in building firms throughout N. Ireland and various public buildings including schools and hospitals. We will work hard to ensure that your claim is dealt with quickly and sympathetically in order to obtain compensation to provide for your own and your family's financial needs and for any care you may require as a result of your illness. There are many different types of asbestos related disease: Pleural plaques Pleural thickening Asbestosis Asbestos related lung cancer Mesothelioma Asbestos related claims on behalf of deceased family members Secondary asbestos exposure claims ie getting an asbestos disease from your husband's or father's overalls
Matt Higgins - Notary Public
Under the Solicitors (Northern Ireland) Order 1976, all solicitors are commissioners for oaths, which means that they can witness official documents other than those prepared by themselves or their opponents in a case. HHD principal Matt Higgins is a Notary Public, which is an officer who can administer oaths and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate documents, and perform certain other acts depending on the jurisdiction. He can also witness documents for use abroad. As Northern Ireland increasingly becomes part of a global community, more people are moving throughout the world which may require documentation to be notarised or certified in order to allow employment, studying and settlement. Buying and selling property abroad will also require documentation notarisation Please contact our office to arrange an appointment for documents that require notarisation - matthewhiggins@hhdsolicitors.com

Testimonials
Medical Negligence testimonial
With Fiona Sterritt and Lauren Jones we were really, really happy. We felt their knowledge of our case was brilliant, they knew our case inside out and knew all the details of it. Fiona really understood where we coming from, and we know we were anxious and always on the phone but she always had time for us. Thank you both so much.
Criminal Defence testimonial
I instructed HHD after a recommendation, I have been thoroughly impressed with the service and support my solicitor has provided me during a very difficult period of my life. The team were always willing to offer sound advice and guidance in an unfamiliar environment. After 4 years I have a positive outcome which was a great relief, although I hope never to call upon the services of HHD again in a criminal sense I would have no hesitation in instructing them again or recommending them to anyone who need legal services.
Road traffic claim testimonial
I've never had a claim before I didn't have a clue what to expect. Caroline sat and explained everything to me and really helped me understand what was going on. Caroline was really lovely. I am happy and thought my result was brilliant. Thank you
Accident at work testimonial
With Damian I couldn't have asked for anything more. I used Damian as my solicitor many years ago and I came back to him because I was happy then and this time my case went beyond all my expectations. He fought my case so well. Absolutely nothing could've been done better. He explained everything to me every step of the way through my case and my outcome far exceeded my expectations. Thanks again so, so much.
Tripping accident claim
Caroline was absolutely fabulous from day one right through my case. She just treated you as if she knew you and explained things and nothing was a bother to her. I got a lovely payment at the end. I wasn't sure if I was going to take claim but I was recommended your firm and my case was definitely worth pursuing.
Family law testimonial
'150% happy with HHD. Pleased with efficiency and reliability and felt there was a good hands on discussion with me. Felt any concerns I had were taken on board and talked through. A very human approach. You completely understood my side of things and understood the stress of the case.
Car accident claim
Went with hhd for a claim I made due to a car accident that wasnt my fault. Lauren was fantastic making sure that I got the correct physio to get me back to full health. She constantly kept me updated on my case, and got a settlement which was more than I could ever have hoped for. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
Conveyancing matter
Had my conveyance done with HHD Solicitors the process was flawless from start to finish. Couldn't of been more helpful. Thank you.
