Finally divorced! Did the petition part online but needed help with the Financial part. Shakira took me through every step of the process. Had infinite patience when I couldn't decide what I wanted and was always extremely helpful and understanding.

Dear Kiran, thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are pleased to hear that you found your initial consultation helpful and that Kulbir provided clear, professional advice and guidance. We will be sure to pass your kind comments on to her. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
Bethany Williams was a great help. She listened and it felt like she cared about my situation. Knowledge of what I need to do and where KJSmith could help. No pressure on myself to pay but given time to think about my next steps.
Dear Fraser, Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted that Bethany listened carefully, treated your situation with genuine care and clearly explained your options without placing you under any pressure. We will be sure to share your lovely feedback with her. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
I met with Bethany Williams to discuss my pending divorce and settlements. Bethany explained everything to me in great detail and with true empathy for my situation. i asked questions as we went along and Bethany explained everything clearly to me and what could happen in different circumstances. i also had some extra questions which she had all the answers to every time. i am hopeful that i can use Bethany to draw up the final documents to my divorce once i have got them sorted. i would certainly recommend KJS to anyone.
Dear John, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted that Bethany approached your situation with empathy and explained everything clearly and thoroughly, including the different possible outcomes. We greatly appreciate your recommendation and will pass your kind comments on to Bethany. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
Had an initial meeting with Bethany Williams yesterday to discuss my case. Could not have been more clear, informative and reassuring. No pressure just clear excellent advice. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that Bethany from our Ascot office was able to provide you with clear, informative and reassuring advice, and that you felt supported throughout your initial meeting. We will be sure to pass your kind comments on to Bethany. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
Thank you for your work on my recently concluded children and finances cases. A grim year, but ultimately a good outcome, and I felt in very good hands throughout with you looking after both cases. As things progressed, Emma Ritchie took on most of the day-to-day work on both elements of my case. Emma was excellent. She was on top of everything at all times, and always updated me by phone if something changed suddenly. Her advice was lucid, on point, and appropriately firm where needed. Most of all, she is calm and unflappable, with a welcome dry humour, and I was very glad to have her at my side during my first and I very much hope my last experience of the inside of a courtroom. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma and Arabella to any friend or family member who finds themselves in the same situation.

Dear George, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are very pleased to hear that you felt well supported throughout both your children and finances matters, and that the outcome brought a difficult year to a positive conclusion. Your kind words about Emma’s calm approach, clear advice and communication are greatly appreciated, and we are delighted that you felt in such good hands throughout. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
I cannot recommend Emily Wood and Rosie Cherag-Zade from KJ Smith Solicitors highly enough. I could not have wished for better solicitors to support me through such an important and challenging period of my life. They were always incredibly attentive, responsive and efficient, and I always felt that I was being listened to and understood. That made such a huge difference to me. Family law can be an extremely overwhelming experience, but having Emily and Rosie by my side made me feel that I wasn't facing it alone. Emily's professionalism, understanding and dedication gave me a great deal of confidence throughout the process. She always took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and that my concerns were heard. I genuinely felt that she cared about my circumstances and the outcome for my daughter, rather than simply treating me as another case. Rosie was absolutely wonderful on the day I attended court. She made sure I was fully informed about what would happen, what I could expect and how the day was likely to unfold. More importantly, she helped me stay calm when I was understandably nervous and emotional. She had such a lovely way of lightening the atmosphere, bringing some laughter and helping me focus on the positives and the outcome we were working towards. Her reassurance and presence on such an important day meant more to me than she probably realised. Both Emily and Rosie have shown genuine compassion, patience and understanding alongside an extremely high level of professionalism. They made me feel supported, heard and, most importantly, understood at a time when I really needed it. I honestly could not be happier that Emily and Rosie were the solicitors supporting me through this journey. I will always be incredibly grateful for everything they have done for me and for the care and dedication they showed throughout.
I was looking for guidance on the UK legal requirements associated with my international surrogacy journey, and the consultation with Laura Burrows was really valuable. Her knowledge of the UK legal system was great, and she drew on her practical experience from working on complex surrogacy and family law cases. Laura provided a clear explanation of the legal framework, milestones, and the best way to approach each stage. What I found particularly useful was her practical perspective, professional network, and understanding of the individuals involved in the decision-making and ruling process. The advice was straightforward, really easy to follow, and specific to my circumstances. The consultation gave me a much clearer understanding of the legal process and felt far more confident about the steps ahead. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking expert advice and guidance in this area!
I have recently taken on the services of Bethany Williams in the new Horsham office. Her and her colleague, Aaron O’Malley, have taken the time to explain exactly how things will work going forward and have been understanding to my situation and answered all questions I had…. and I have been left feeling confident that I am in excellent hands. I started my KJSmith journey with Annabel in the Guildford office. She was equally lovely and helpful and I would also have felt very happy with her handling my case, however with the opening of the new Horsham branch I felt this was more suitable for me. Divorce and the finances associated are not an easy time and I am grateful to have found a company who I trust to take care of me.
Dan and Olivia have both been absolutely wonderful with me as I navigate my divorce. They have both been genuinely friendly and approachable with genuine empathy for their client. Dan has listened to my concerns and has taken the time to understand me and he has made a difficult situation less daunting. Without a shadow of doubt Dan is a very exceptional solicitor and I have no problem with recommening him and Olivia to any of my colleagues in the NHS. The few meetings I have had with Dan and Olivia I have always walked away with a smile on my face and felt at ease knowing I chose the right firm of solicitor's to work with. I would highly recommend K.J.Smith Solicitors to anyone.

Dear Ian, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. We are so pleased to hear that Dan and Olivia from our Bournemouth office have made you feel supported, listened to and at ease throughout what can be a very difficult process. It is particularly lovely to hear that their friendly and empathetic approach has helped make things feel less daunting, and that you have felt confident in choosing KJ Smith Solicitors. Thank you also for your very kind recommendation. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
From my very first introduction to Daniel Norris at KJ Smith Solicitors, Bournemouth, I was made to feel at ease, and everything was explained to me about how my case would be approached, the potential stages that could take place and, more importantly for me, that what I was hoping to achieve was possible and that Daniel and his Paralegal, Olivia West, would work with me in a cost-effective way that I could afford in my personal circumstances. Daniel and Olivia have been exceptionally professional, polite , focused on my case, and throughout my experience keeping me updated where necessary. Any questions that I have had are answered clearly and concisely so that I understand every step of the way. I went from a female who had been severely wronged to someone with hope that the justice I had ‘hoped’ to achieve was possible, to a person who knew it was possible with the help and support of Daniel and Olivia. I simply cannot praise them enough, and I sincerely hope this review helps anyone thinking about which solicitors to choose. KJ Smith have been amazing. Thank you so much, Daniel and Olivia, for genuinely caring and for your professional support and proactivity and also for your understanding throughout that this is achievable has been such a huge weight off my shoulders.
