HHD Solicitors was established in 1996 by founding Partners, Matt Higgins, Michael Hollywood and Damian Deazley, starting with just two staff members in a small office on the Cliftonville Road.  Over the years we steadily expanded, later operating from two separate offices before bringing both teams together into our current purpose-built office on the Oldpark Road.

Today we have grown into a thriving firm of more than 25 staff with specialist teams advising clients across a wide range of legal services including litigation, family law, criminal defence, property and probate.

While much has changed since 1996, our core mission remains unchanged – namely to provide expert legal advice to the local community.

The Partners have paid tribute to retired founding Partner, Michael Hollywood, who helped shape the firm during its early years and continues to be reflected in our values today.

We also acknowledge the contribution of our staff, both past and present, whose hard work and dedication have supported our growth over the last 30 years.

Partner, Matt Higgins said:

“Our staff are the heartbeat of our firm.  From our legal professionals to our essential support teams, their hard work and resilience have allowed us to navigate 30 years of legal evolution while maintaining the highest levels of service for our clients.”

Alongside our legal work, we continue to play an active role within the local community, support local organisations and have ongoing links with schools, businesses and community groups across North Belfast.

Above all else, we express our gratitude to the generations of clients who have continued to place their trust in us over the last three decades.

As we look towards the future, we remain committed to building on our strong foundations while continuing to grow and evolve to meet the needs of clients across Northern Ireland.
