Could not recommend Sonia highly enough

I cannot recommend Sonia Racker highly enough. Having gone through what was an incredibly emotional and challenging family court process, having Sonia by my side made such a huge difference. Throughout the entire proceedings, Sonia was exceptionally helpful, professional and knowledgeable. She always explained things clearly and kept her advice concise and to the point, which was particularly reassuring when I was feeling overwhelmed or anxious. What I appreciated most was that Sonia never lost sight of the fact that, behind all of the legal issues, this was an extremely emotional experience for me. She was always mindful of my feelings whilst still giving me honest, realistic and reassuring legal advice. She had a wonderful way of easing my nerves and helping me feel more confident about each stage of the process. I always felt that I was in safe hands with Sonia and that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. I am incredibly grateful for all of her support, guidance and reassurance throughout such a difficult time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sonia Racker to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also compassionate, understanding and genuinely supportive. She has been absolutely fantastic.

Exceptional Professionalism: Highly Recommended

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms Navpreet Virk-Kooner and the entire CartwrightKing Solicitors team for their outstanding support throughout the year-long family case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, consistency, dedication, and attention to detail. What stood out most was not only their high professional standards but also their patience, kindness, integrity, and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their client. Ms Virk-Kooner provided invaluable guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring that I was kept informed and reassured at every stage. Her expertise and dedication gave me confidence during what could otherwise have been a very challenging experience. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Barrister Ms Ann William for her professionalism, expertise, and excellent legal insight. Her thoughtful legal analysis, strategic approach, and commitment to the case were greatly appreciated and contributed significantly to the overall handling of the matter. I am deeply grateful to everyone at CartwrightKing Solicitors for their outstanding legal work, unwavering support, and professionalism throughout this journey. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone seeking expert legal representation. Thank you so much once again for everything you have done. I wish Ms Navpreet Kooner, Ms Ann William, and the entire CartwrightKing Solicitors team continued success and every happiness in the future.

I had Sonia representing me and she was amazing, always kept me in the loop with everything and always messaged me back when I needed to know something. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have been able to get through my court hearings. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my kids

Absolute Hero

There is no describing Sonia other than an absolute hero. I was in a very sticky position when I got in touch with Sonia and I feel like she saved my life. She is very switched on and honestly knew her job like the back of her hand. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I had a very complex custody battle and she would drop everything to be by my side when it counted. Her support and guidance is the only reason I am sat with my children today. I will never have the right words to describe this woman, she remains top topic in all of our family conversations on how amazing she truly was. I felt this wasn’t just a job to her but she also cared and that meant so much when going through the toughest time of my life. A rare find, she has been such a significant part of my life that will never be forgotten.

My Family Court Experience

Was taken to Family Court and was so nervous, for months i struggled as the court date approached. As soon as Sonia was allocated to me, everything just became such a breeze. It felt amazing to finally be heard and understood by someone who truly cares about what they're doing. Her communication was clear, I was about to reach out regarding any questions I may have. She called me to ensure I understood everything. I felt good knowing I had Sonia to back me and share my story of events. Overall, she was kind, empathetic and concise. I would happily return back and request Sonia to take on any future family court cases, shes a real treasure. Thank you!

I would like to thank everyone at Cartwright King for helping us through a family case that we genuinely thought might not go our way. It all stemmed from a catastrophic mistake, but Cartwright King, together with our barrister, worked incredibly hard and ultimately achieved a successful outcome. Once I was assigned a solicitor that I could easily contact, the communication was clear and consistent, which made a huge difference. Our case took nearly two years, and although it was a long and stressful process, I did everything I could to assist by providing information and supporting the case whenever needed. I believe that working together helped us achieve the best possible result. Thank you all so much for your hard work, dedication, and support during such a difficult time. We will always be grateful.

from Cartwright King Solicitors

Thank you for sharing your experience, Holly. Navigating complex, long-running family proceedings requires dedication and strong collaboration between client, solicitor, and counsel. The team at Cartwright King appreciates your recognition of our hard work and communication, and we are pleased to have brought this matter to a successful conclusion for you.

Cartwright King provide free advice for female survivors of Domestic Violence at Manchester Women’s Aid. They are so kind, friendly, helpful, professional and non-judgemental. They come to the drop-in every fortnight and have helped support dozens and dozens of women, and have made a direct positive impact on their lives. Thank you.

Dear Sollipop. Thank you for your kind words. We’re really pleased to hear that the team supporting the Manchester Women’s Aid drop-in has been so helpful and that their advice has made a positive difference. We’re proud to be able to support survivors in such an important setting, and your feedback means a great deal to the team.

In my capacity as Managing Director of Target Psychology, I have had many dealings with Emma Cordock over the years, and more recently in her role as the Director and the Head of Cartwright King's Child Care Department. Our experience has always been extremely positive, with both Emma and all members of her team. Professional, reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing legal support.

Excellent Solicitors

We cannot thank Daniel Maiden at Cartwright King solicitors enough for helping us secure a special guardianship order for our grandchildren, there was so many times I was worried about the outcome but Dan was amazing, he has a very down to earth approach & always managed to keep us calm throughout the entire process, he explained everything in a way I could understand & didn’t baffle us with legal jargon, he kept me updated & was always available when I had any questions (which was a lot), he was always patient and caring & supported us through a very stressful time. The day we arrived at court, we were truly blown away by Dan’s confidence & knowledge. Thanks to Dan’s expertise our grandchildren now have a secure home and a wonderful future ahead of them. We would highly recommend Dan to anyone in a similar position to ours, thank you Dan you are amazing!

Thank you for coming to us on a personal recommendation, Kiran. It was an absolute pleasure for Sonia and her team to act on your behalf, and we wish you all the best for the future.

Excellent experience. Incredibly supportive firm

Sona demonstrated good legal knowledge along side infinite patience, kindness, understanding, dedication and professionalism with my case. She worked tirelessly, helped me produce statements and often had to work with very tight deadlines. Sona guided me faultlessly throughout the whole process of care proceedings. I was extremely vulnerable and struggled to process and remember information at that time so her approach was invaluable. Thank you so very much Sona and also a huge thank you to Megan and Chet. For their understanding and willingness to give as much additional support as I required during such an overwhelmingly difficult time. I am extremely grateful to everyone.

Cant thank enough for supporting all the way

Sharad Buddhdev is an outstanding solicitor who provided exceptional support during a very dark and challenging time. POCA proceedings are complex and terrifying, but Sharad was always there to offer clear advice and reassurance. He took the time to explain every stage of the legal process in plain language, keeping me informed and grounded throughout. He is not only a brilliant legal mind but also a genuinely kind and empathetic person who truly cares about his clients' well-being. I am immensely grateful for his dedication and hard work. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a top-tier criminal defence and POCA specialist.

When we decided in 2023 to get a visa for my Filipino fiancé (now husband)it was decided to use a solicitor. Having approached various companies this was the only one who did not charge us for an initial consultation. We were contacted by Sherena Lawrence who explained everything. It was decided then that we would use her services. From day one everything was explained and we were told everything we needed to send. She collected everything and submitted out application which was successful. After we were married we got a correspondence from Sherena telling us that the government were raising the price of our next visa and asked if we could begin the process early in order to save money. Another successful application. We have now just completed out 3rd successful visa application. If not for the expertise of the company and in particular Sherena I doubt very much if we would have coped on our own. We are forever indebted to the company and of course Sherena for all the hard work they have put in and also for their success, without which we would not be happily married and living together. As a side note, same sex marriage is still illegal in the Philippines, so being successful here was the only option to be together. I look forward to 30 months time when once again Sherena will come to our rescue and get our final visa.
