In this article we improve the dimension and minimum distance bound of the the Hermitian Lifted Codes LRCs construction from L\'opez, Malmskog, Matthews, Pi\~nero and Wooters (L\'opez et. al.) via elementary univariarte polynomial division. They gave an asymptotic rate estimate of $0.007$. For the case where $q$ is a power of $2$ we improve the rate estimate to $0.010$ using univariate polynomial division.
