Worth every penny

I can’t thank Samir enough for everything he did. I was almost certain I was going to receive a court summons, but thanks to his expertise the matter was resolved with just a warning letter. He was professional and reassuring, making a very stressful situation much easier to deal with. I highly recommend Samir to anyone who finds themselves in a difficult situation and needs someone they can trust to achieve the best possible outcome.

Fare Evasion Case

I was being investigated by TfL for an alleged fare evasion offence and was initially told I only had around a 30% chance of success, but thanks to the expertise and support of the team at Manak Solicitors, the matter was resolved with a warning. They made the entire process straightforward by arranging an online meeting, and they were incredibly thorough when preparing my statement, which really put me at ease during a stressful time. I would highly recommend Manak Solicitors to anyone in need of legal representation.

Fare Evasion Case

I can't begin to thank Holly, Samir and Sarah for their help throughout the case. I was caught using the wrong card and if I'm being honest that card was a high value card so I almost certain I'd be convicted. However, I put my trust in the team and the reassured me they would try their best to get the outcome I wanted and rest assured that's what they did. This morning I received the news that I have only been issued a warning. What I appreciated most was that they did not sugar coat anything, I was aware of the seriousness of this case but they kept me calm and explored my mitigating factors. Thank you to everyone at Manak once again!

Thank you for sharing your review. Fare evasion matters involving high-value discrepancies carry significant legal weight, and navigating them requires a realistic assessment of the case alongside robust representation. We are exceptionally pleased that Holly, Samir, and Sarah delivered the candid advice, strategic calmness, and focus on mitigating circumstances necessary to secure an out-of-court resolution. Achieving a warning rather than a conviction is a highly successful outcome, and your kind words have been proudly shared with the team and the firm's leadership at Manak Solicitors.

Highly professional and an exceptional result!

I cannot thank Samir Moftah and the team at Manak Solicitors enough. My daughter got caught misusing a pass, and we were incredibly stressed about the potential long-term consequences and prosecution from TfL. We decided to hire Samir based on his stellar reputation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Samir was incredibly professional, clear in his advice, and very easy to communicate with from start to finish. He handled the pass misuse case with a strategic approach and managed to negotiate a warning for my daughter, meaning she avoided a criminal record. We feel very lucky to have had him on our side. If you are facing a tight spot with TfL, I highly recommend Samir's services.

I’m grateful beyond words for the exemplary professionalism and service from the whole team at Manak Solicitors and particularly from Samir, who I can’t thank or praise highly enough. Samir’s skill, knowledge and empathy are outstanding, but I especially value his clarity and candour. I was in an extremely difficult, distressing, and potentially highly damaging legal nightmare, with an overwhelming sense of urgency and fear. I only called Samir after reading other people’s reviews. I was impressed from my very first contact, when Samir responded quickly and efficiently, setting up a full consultation within 24 hours. From that point, Samir’s impressive combination of deep expertise, calm analysis and attentive transparency, won my trust. I’d also highlight his deft fluency, responding to all my questions with nuance and insight, so I always felt fully informed about my specific situation, the path ahead, and potential, likely outcomes. When your back’s against the wall, you need that combination of nimble analysis and straight-talking, to work out your best strategy. I would have praised Samir whatever the outcome of my case, but against the odds we won the best possible outcome, and I know that’s 100% thanks to his experience, wisdom and commitment. His diligence and unstinting support has restored my sense of freedom and peace of mind, which are priceless. If you’re looking for an ally who’ll not only represent you with confidence, accuracy, skill and dedication, but with consummate care, professionalism and respect, I have no hesitation in recommending Samir and Manak solicitors in the highest possible terms. I’d definitely trust him again.

Being detained for using my mum’s Freedom Pass over several months was a deeply distressing experience. The realisation of what I had done and the consequences it could bring hit me really hard. A criminal conviction would have ruined my career and possibly even left me without a place to live. At that point, I realised I needed legal help. Looking back now, I’m incredibly relieved and grateful that I made the decision to instruct Samir Moftah at Manak Solicitors. His support quite literally protected my future. I cannot thank him enough and would strongly urge anyone in a similar situation to seek his help. From day one, Samir approached my fare evasion case with professionalism and empathy. He was clear, honest, and didn’t sugar-coat anything. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence I provided, he recommended a psychological assessment with Dr Emma Gray, who was both compassionate and insightful in her approach. Her report added crucial context to my case. Once the report was in, Samir and his brilliant Team, Sarah and Holly acted quickly, submitting a Letter of Representations to TFL. Five weeks later, I received the outcome: a formal warning instead of a prosecution. Words can’t fully express how grateful I am to Samir and his Team. If you’re facing a similar ordeal, don’t panic—reach out to him. Trust Samir to guide you through it and fight for the best possible outcome. Be patient, the process takes time.

I just want to say a huge thank you to Samir he’s been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. My case was really difficult, and honestly, I thought there was no way it could be settled out of court. It felt impossible. But Samir listened carefully to everything I had to say, gave me honest and straightforward advice, and never gave me false hope. As soon as he got a response from TfL, he called me straight away to let me know they’d decided to give me a warning instead of taking it further. I couldn’t believe it. I’m honestly so grateful, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a fare evasion solicitor. He genuinely knows what he’s doing and actually cares.

Case settled regarding my daughter

My daughter had a very serious issue with TfL, it was a stressful and anxious time as I was worried she would receive a conviction just after finishing university with a first class degree. A conviction would limit the job opportunities she would get and would be very disappointing after I had such high aspirations for her. Samir represented her and it was successful. He was genuinely sincere, kind and honest from the get go. He put in a lot of hard work for us and it's demonstrated in the case settlement that ruled in our favour. Thank you Samir and I would recommend anyone facing a similar issue to get in contact as he is very genuine and passionate.

TFL Case Settled!

I had a fantastic experience with Samir at Manak Solicitors. He was kind, professional and honest which was everything I needed in a moment of chaos and anxiety. Samir was realistic in setting expectations for the results of this case as TfL tend to pursue harsher consequences for fare related offences but ultimately I’ve walked away with a very positive result that I undoubtedly wouldn’t have received without his help. I implore anyone who is in a similar situation to seek his help, it was 1000% worth every penny.

TFL fare evasion

I cannot thank Samir, and his secretary Ms Holly, and the entire team at Manak Solicitors enough for their incredible support. I was going through an extremely stressful situation due to an honest mistake I made, which was completely out of character for me. The anxiety and stress were heavy, but Samir and Holly handled my case with absolute professionalism, empathy, and expertise.he was honest with me I’ve only 45% chance out of course but his absolutely amazing Holly kept me updated right away when there was good news, and Samir represented my case brilliantly to achieve a full withdrawal with zero criminal record. They treated me with dignity, reassured me when I was at my lowest, and delivered the best possible outcome. I am forever grateful for their dedication and highly recommend Manak Solicitors to anyone in need of top-class legal help.

We used Manak as our Conveyancer when selling our property and Duygu was fantastic. Responsive, professional and made the whole process so easy. I've used cheaper firms in the past and had awful experiences. You pay a slight premium going with Manak but I got a premium experience. Worth paying that bit more when going through what is always a stressful experience. Would highly recommend!

We can't thank Nistaran enough for all of her hard work throughout both the sale of our flat and the purchase of our new home. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough from start to finish. Despite having to deal with a particularly difficult conveyancer acting for our buyer, Nistaran remained calm, proactive, and always kept things moving wherever possible. She kept us informed throughout the process and was always available to answer our questions. Moving home is never straightforward, but having someone as knowledgeable and dedicated as Nistaran made a huge difference. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent conveyancing solicitor. Thank you again!
