Advice re Family Law

I had an extremely positive experience working with Daniel Norris and his trainee, Hannah, who he had working alongside him during my Family Law consultation this week.
From the beginning Daniel provided clear, expert advice and showed a deep understanding of family law, which immediately put me at ease.
I was introduced to Hannah and although she didn’t participate in the conversation I was extremely impressed with the knowledge Daniel was imparting to her and the caring way in which he conducted himself.
They were both professional, attentive, and eager to assist, making sure I felt supported throughout my consultation.
I would highly recommend Daniel and wish Hannah all the best with her training.

Excellent service

I recently worked with an outstanding team of solicitors in Robyn and Lydia, who truly exemplified excellence in their field. From the moment I engaged in their services, I was met with nothing but unwavering support and attention to detail.

Their unparalleled level of attentiveness and ability to thoroughly understand my situation through listening attentively to my concerns and objectives, was second to none. They had the ability to empathize with me and not show pity, and by communicating effectively they instilled a huge sense of trust and confidence in their capabilities.

Throughout the entire process, I felt supported. They were proactive in providing updates and guidance, ensuring that I remained informed and empowered to make informed decisions, all the while being careful not to instill any false hope. Their dedication to my case was evident in their willingness to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of the best possible outcome for me.

Their expertise and professionalism were truly commendable and their commitment to excellence, unwavering support, and attentive approach set them apart. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than Robyn and Lydia.

Harpreet, Faizah and Stephanie - thank you just isn't enough!

I'd like to add a glowing review for Harpreet Sihra, Faizah Chaudhri and Stephanie Glover from K J Smith Solicitors.

Without going into too much detail about my divorce, I will say that it has been split into 2 parts - the childrens matters and the finances.

As soon as Harpreet, Faizah and Stephanie took over my case, everything started to feel like it was moving forward quickly, and I can honestly say that they have truly been my pillars of strength when at times I have been at my very lowest. Their kindness and empathy is outstanding.

The childrens matters saw me attending 3 court proceedings and I was supported and looked after throughout. Faizah was absolutely incredible at preparing me beforehand. She has vast amounts of knowledge and is so caring with her approach. She spent time with me looking through every single detail of my case and she really calmed and reassured me when I felt like things had got too much.

I was frightened of going to court, but Stephanie met me on the day so I wasn't walking in alone. She stayed by my side and kept me informed of exactly what was happening at all times. In fact, I feel really lucky because Stephanie has followed both sides of my divorce, and has been there to offer invaluable help, support and advice throughout.

The finances side of my divorce is being looked after by Harpreet. She truly is a complete powerhouse and is working so hard to try and help me reach a settlement and finalise my divorce. Her knowledge is phenomenal and she continues to stand strong in order to help me walk away with the best outcome possible. The help, kindness and support Harpreet is giving me is amazing.

I can highly recommend the team at K J Smith Solicitors to anyone who needs them.

Just wanted to thank KJ Smith for being superb practice. What attracted me to this legal firm and especially Mrs Laura Gusatu was, that she took my request seriously and replied to me in 12 hours due to the nature of my case. Bear in mind, that she spent hours explaining to me in detail and advising me how to proceed with no charges it was all free. Mrs Laura gave me legal advice related to my query. Not the least, she was empathetic, showing her respect and consideration for me as a human being which makes such a difference to know someone is genuine and unbelievably supportive.
Mrs Laura Gusatu answered all my questions promptly and fully either by email or on the phone, she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, with a very kind and understanding nature that helped no end through what was a stressful time. I would highly recommend the company KJ Smith and Laura Gusatu in particular, she made everything easier in a very human way.
