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.

Outstanding legal representation at a very difficult time.

In a difficult legal case where the outcome was far from certain, I chose to move my representation to Cartwright King after losing confidence in my previous advocates. The support I received from Leanne Brown at Cartwright King was so much better than I expected. Leanne pulled out all the stops, kept me up to date, and jumped on any case concerns I raised with vigour. Thanks to Leanne and the excellent Barrister chosen to represent me the case was knocked out of the park, so-to-speak. A big win!

Excellent support

From the very beginning of court proceeding, Majeja was extremley supportive and empathetic towards my family's situation. Her kindness reassured us at times when we truly felt the situation appeared bleak. Majeja always kept means of communication open, and when she wasnt able to respond, she would always let me know that she would catch up with me later. Her advice & expertise resulted in a beautiful and most ideal outcome. I can't thank her enough for being such an amazing advocate for my family & I. We couldn't have done this without you!

UPDATE AND REPLY TO THE RESPONSE BELOW: you have failed to reply to me privately nevermind publicly, I have asked for a copy of the email that was sent to return my passport where you admit to forgetting to send it in April, the high court have told me the exact discussion with Jaya dhaliwal admitting fault, but Jaya dhaliwal and your firm have failed since the 27th of July 2026 to send me a copy of this email or how the mistake happened, nevermind to rectify the cost it implicated for me and the stress. Even after reading this review and responding publicly, you have chosen to still ignore my request privately. I have emailed three times, and rang twice, wrote a public review and contacted the CEO on linked in. Further to this I will be contacting local press as I have all the evidence and took videos during the ordeal. I would like a copy of the email that was sent requesting my passport to be returned dated 27th of July 2026 by Monday end of the working day. I had an awful experience, the solicitor at this court wrongfully claimed I had a formal warning from police which never happened and she then emailed me 2 years later admitting she made a mistake. She also wrongfully has my passport seized at Gatwick airport, because she "forgot" to send an order which meant I am thousands of pounds out of pocket and was stranded until I managed to get it back. When I've made attempts to contact the firm about this, I am repeatedly ignored. Which has led me to have to write a public review and to contact the SRA.

We used Cartwright King (a recommendation from the immigration advisers at Sheffield Hallam University) to apply for indefinite leave to remain for a family member. We were allocated Sherena who was very professional throughout, explaining the process clearly and informing us what documents we needed. (There are a lot!) Our application was successful and we were delighted with Sherena’s customer service and knowledge of the process. Everything was done remotely via video calls, email and phone so wherever you are in the UK I highly recommend using Cartwright King for your immigration needs. Thank you.

I can't recommend Cartwright King Solicitors highly enough. They have helped me with my case not just once, but twice, and both times the service was outstanding. A special thank you to Sharad Buddhdev for all of his support and professionalism throughout. He was always helpful, took the time to explain everything clearly, and kept me updated every step of the way. I always knew what was happening with my case, which gave me great peace of mind. The whole team at Cartwright King were approachable, understanding, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thank you again to Sharad Buddhdev and everyone at Cartwright King for all your hard work.
