I was warmly welcomed by Wajiha, Legal Assistant to Shortlands Solicitor, Shabana Walayat for an initial consultation.
The whole experience with Shabana was comfortable and professional.
Clear, easy to understand relevant questions and explanations were given during the meeting allowing me as much time as I needed.
It was clear to me that I was getting good, sound legal advice.
I left well informed with the information I needed and follow on support if required.

Shabana Walayat is, in my opinion, a wonderful, professional solicitor who helped me, enormously with my civil partnership dissolution. She was kind and deeply cared about me. I thank her with all my heart.

High Quality Response

5

After doing extensive research, I chose Shortlands Law Firm as it is a family run business. They covered every corner of the law which I needed to know in order to have a complete piece of mind and to know that everything within my case had been covered properly. She understood my predicament and was willing to listen to everything I had to say with empathy. I came away feeling 100% satisfied. I would highly recommend their services.

Thank you Shabana and Wajiha.

I would confidently highly recommend Shortlands in cases such as mine.

5

During not only an extremely difficult time but also a complex divorce and settlement of finances, I found the staff at Shortlands to be extremely supportive and understanding. Shabana Walayat was in the main handling my case and I was always impressed by her quick grasp of the personalities involved and how she responded appropriately and effectively each time a particularly challenging obstacle arose. Both Saeed Hassan and Sian Whittaker also took on aspects of the case, Saeed handling the commercial aspects of the divorce and Sian taking on the final financial settlement and consent order. I found all three solicitors to be sensitive to my particular circumstances and they worked well to a positive and fair outcome. The professional service together with the friendly and understanding support staff meant that the process was considerably less distressing than it otherwise could have been.

Review for Shabana Walayat

5

I would unreservedly recommend Shabana Walayat to anyone seeking help with childcare arrangements after separation/divorce or the matter of relocation. For what was a traumatic time in my life, Shabana gave me reassurance and handled my case with great expertise. I felt she was in charge of the situation throughout. She helped me gain a clear picture of the legal procedures and it’s terminology. Shabana and her team always responded to my requests quickly and kept me in the loop of the ongoing developments. Her approach to her work as a lawyer I experienced as both – compassionate and highly professional. And that I am truly thankful for.
