The best solicitor I met

I received a good and prompt service from Mr Taswar and Ms Molly. Taswar is always prepared to go an extra mile and was not money oriented. At the beginning, he gave me a free in person meeting in addition to the free initial telephone conversation.

I generally dislike solicitors, but Taswar was different and thank you for the advice and the good service.

Taswar has been an incredible support throughout the challenging two-year battle for custody of my children. Their unwavering dedication and commitment to my case were evident at every step of the way. Taswar's professionalism, expertise, and personalized approach, including thoughtful gestures like sending Christmas cards, truly made a difference during the most trying times. Without their guidance and support, I don't believe I would have persevered through the toughest moments of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Taswar to anyone in need of legal assistance, especially in family matters, as their compassion and proficiency are unparalleled.

The conveyancing team at Blackhams did an absolutely brilliant job on my house purchase. It was a complicated scenario with multiple conveyancers involved. Taranjeet and her team really drove the process through to completion. I don't think the transaction would have got done without Taranjeet's determination. If you want to buy or sell a property, I highly recommend Blackhams.

I would like to start by saying Mr Taswar Hayat was recommended to me by someone who had used him previously. All I can say was I was not disappointed at all. Blackhams solicitors provided the best service I could have received. Communication was consistent and clear. Any queries I had they provided me with call immediately to discuss and provided me with solutions. As well as providing a service they helped take a big weight of my shoulder. By building trust I was able to confidently leave the case in their hands and know it was being dealt with. Molly was just as amazing taking all my calls and keeping updated continuously via emails and calls. I would highly recommend Blackhams solicitors to anyone out there, I mean I already have recommended them to 3 others. Thank you so much for everything you have done this year for me.
