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.
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.
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.

Lydia has been absolutely amazing helping me with the process of my financial order and negotiations for my divorce. She was the only lawyer to speak to me first in person and set out the facts straight on what I needed to do for free. After that and deciding to go ahead with her taking my case she has been nothing but informative, straight to point, efficient as well as so patient and empathetic with me regarding any situation, issues or questions I have. She truly had my back and is so passionate in what she does . Everything has been sorted now and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Lydia and the whole team at KJ Smith Solicitors for helping me as they also were very communicative and patient with me too.

My friend recommended this branch of solicitors due to a great experience with them. I don't think I could have got through my divorce without the help of Aaron O'Malley. You need someone on your side! They are excellent in terms of legal knowledge and advice, and did a great job with the admin of my divorce. But what really sets them apart is their heart. They really care and go above and beyond. In those moments you really need that! I recommend Aaron to everyone I know who needs a solicitor. And especially to anyone going through divorce, you will be in really safe hands!

Tanya Patel was great during my free consultation. She listened to everything I had to say and provided clear guidance and support. Following on from the consultation she has provided thorough instruction and information. This has all helped me feel very at ease in an already overwhelming situation.
Dear Darci, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are so pleased to hear that Tanya made you feel listened to, supported and at ease during what can be an overwhelming time. It is also lovely to know that her clear guidance and thorough follow-up helped give you confidence moving forward. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
From sending an enquiries email, to the first consultation where my circustances were discussed. From there, my personal and legal circumstances, needs and expectations were delivered to a very high standard. Replies to my emails and phone calls, outside of 'normal' working hours which my job is, to reliable and a high level standard of advice and next steps was explained to me along the way. Concluding to a very quick and easy process. I highly recommend Kyle Cooper and his team. Thank you again.
Dear Kellie, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We are delighted to hear that Kyle and the team provided clear, reliable advice throughout and made the process feel straightforward from your initial enquiry through to its conclusion. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors
I had a 45-minute free consultation with Dorjan Myrtja today. Dorjan had clearly taken the time to prepare for our meeting. He was extremely welcoming and his advice was clear, articulate and easy to understand. I would highly recommend him.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that Dorjan made you feel welcome and that his advice was clear and easy to understand. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. Thank you again for your recommendation. Kind regards, KJ Smith Solicitors.

ooner. The advice I received was professional, thorough, and incredibly helpful. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt that my situation was being treated with honesty and care. I particularly appreciated the straightforward approach—nothing was sugar-coated, and I was given a realistic understanding of my options and what to expect. That honesty made a real difference. I came away feeling much more informed and confident about how to move forward. I would highly recommend K J Smith Solicitors to anyone looking for family law advice. My only regret is not reaching out earlier.
Laura was so helpful, despite the situation being horrible the information I was given really helped and Laura never judged and listened to to my whole situation. Thank you
