Family Law review

Recently, my mother and I met with solicitor Daniel Norris from KJ smiths and Barrister Tracey At her Chamber No18 regarding a family law matter. Over the two meetings we had with them, they were very professional and offered honest advice and reassurance, in an extremely caring and friendly manner. We were able to come away from the final meeting with confidence that should we require further help in the future that they would be there to continue their support. We would strongly recommend both of these professionals for the law services they provide.

Complimentary initial appointment

I was extremely impressed with my recent visited to K.J.Smith solicitors in Beaconsfield. I attended a complimentary initial appointment with Anna Ferro. I was treated with courtesy, patience and understanding, and was given a great deal of useful information. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for advice and help with legal matters.

A representative from Kjs Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Dear Pat Thank you for sharing your feedback following your visit to our Beaconsfield office. We’re so pleased to hear that your initial appointment with Anna was such a positive experience and that you felt treated with courtesy, patience, and understanding. Anna will be delighted to know that the information and guidance she provided was helpful to you. Your recommendation means a great deal, both to her and to the wider K J Smith team. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope we can support you again in the future if needed. Kind regards, KJS Solicitors

Thank you Karen

K J Smith Solicitors were the only solicitors (out of four) that gave me any optimism when first approached. This was a very welcome relief after having received a very bleak outlook from the other companies… thank you again [Karen Harvey] for your warmth and kindness

I would recommend .

Due to the nature of my situation and my lack of knowledge when it came to family law, I found the firm were very helpful and approachable. Catherine Silwal and the team in London made me feel very relaxed and at ease knowing I could trust them to get things right.

I had a really excellent consultation with Tanya Patel, and felt immediately at ease whilst discussing an emotionally difficult topic. I very much appreciated the time I was given, as Tanya listened to my story and then offered informative legal advice about the way to proceed. I would recommend Tanya to anyone who is nervous about taking the first legal step - she is patient and calm and has good knowledge at her fingertips.

A representative from Kjs Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Dear Caroline, Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased to hear that Tanya helped you feel at ease during what we appreciate was an emotionally difficult conversation. Your kind words regarding her patience, calm approach, and supportive guidance will mean a great deal to Tanya and the team. Kind regards, K J Smith Solicitors

I want to say thank you to Derek Parsons for the 45-minute free consultation. I was very impressed from the moment we started talking. I truly appreciated that you took the time to listen to my concerns and encouraged me to start from the beginning so you could gain a detailed picture of my situation. I did not feel rushed or pressured, and your understanding helped put my mind at ease. I also appreciate you going above and beyond by following up our session with a care email containing helpful links and further reassurance. It is clear that you are highly knowledgeable in family law. Your honesty and genuine approach made me feel comfortable and confident that I could trust your advice. You provided the best consultation I have had, and if I require a solicitor in the future, I will certainly be getting back in contact with you. Thank you again for your time and professional guidance.

Dear Lana, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that Derek was able to provide such a reassuring and supportive experience, and that you felt comfortable and confident in his advice. Wishing you all the very best moving forward, and we’d be more than happy to assist you again in the future if needed. Kind regards, KJS Solicitors

I recently sought advice from Amber Howton. Amber was absolutely amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable as a solicitor and demonstrates a depth of expertise that immediately puts you at ease. What stood out most was her passion and genuine care. Amber provided clear, thorough advice, signposted me to the right resources, and helped me feel far more confident in the decisions I needed to make. Her guidance gave me clarity during a very difficult time, and I truly felt supported throughout the process. I highly recommend Amber to anyone seeking legal advice she is exceptional.

I transferred my case to KJSmith Solicitors after feeling very disheartened by my experience with a larger, well known firm, and I am so glad I did. From the very first contact, Beth Pettifer and Antonia Clarke have been outstanding. They are highly professional, genuinely empathetic and consistently go the extra mile to ensure that I feel informed, supported and respected at every step. All communication has been in writing and always clear, well structured and easy to follow. Their advice is expressed in straightforward, practical terms that make even complex issues easy to understand. Their communication is always prompt and thoughtful, and they handle sensitive matters with remarkable care and attention to detail. Most importantly, they truly listen, something that makes all the difference when you are navigating a challenging time. I can’t thank Beth, Antonia and the wider KJSmith Solicitors team enough for their professionalism, compassion and integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a firm that truly puts clients first.

Dan Norris had £12k put in his account to use. He prolonged correspondence and did not fact check any information given to him. Wasted the funds and would not detail how it was spent. Ongoing complaint currently with the ombudsman and resolution. Avoid this company.

Disappointing Service, No Case Management

I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by Kate Evans at KJ Smith Solicitors and would strongly advise avoiding the Oxford branch altogether. Even in urgent situations, there are far better solicitors available locally. Her case management is non-existent. Her legal knowledge appears largely theoretical, with no meaningful engagement or ability — or willingness — to apply it to the realities of a complex case. She is comfortable producing lengthy but basic emails at £260 + VAT per hour, yet that is essentially all that is offered. She charged £2,500 to read a court bundle and answer six questions in writing. However, after the initial consultation, I was never offered another in-person meeting, solely because I had not signed a full retainer. Unless you commit thousands more upfront, meaningful engagement appears to be off the table. To be clear, I can read, write, complete court forms, and conduct legal research myself. What I was paying for was professional guidance, strategic case management, and experienced direction. Instead, I received generic written responses, no discussion, no practical advice, and no sense of ownership of the case. Overall, the service provided barely qualifies as a professional service at all. With sufficient time, online resources, and AI support, the same level of information can be obtained independently. I awarded two stars solely for the effort of drafting lengthy emails. Beyond that, I received no significant value, no support, and no professional engagement.

A representative from Kjs Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are saddened to receive your negative feedback. A KJ Smith, we take every piece of feedback provided seriously and strive to provide the highest level of service to each and every one of our clients. To better understand and address your concerns, we kindly invite you to contact our Complaints Team (complaints@kjsmith.co.uk) to discuss your experience in more detail and the policies we follow. We genuinely want to resolve any issues you may have experienced and are committed to finding a satisfactory resolution. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to assist further. Kindest regards, KJ Smith Solicitors

Very empathetic and supportive

I would like to thank Lydia for her support on the first visit. I was very worried and scared and I did not know what to expect. Lydia was very empathetic and validated my experience, I felt fully understood and supported. I gathered lots of information, which Lydia presented in a very professional and clear way. I was also given different options and thanks to Lydia I am now much more confident about my next steps. Thank you so much, Lydia, that consultation was a light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Lydia!
