Excellent Representation ! Best legal support !

I am extremely grateful to Samir and Manak Solicitors Holly/ Sarah for their outstanding help and support with my TfL fare evasion case. Initially, TfL refused to settle the matter with a warning, and I was very worried about the possible consequences. After suggested by Manak solicitor I provided a report from a professional psychological therapist at Harley Street, Samir took the time to prepare and submit a second representation letter on my behalf and Thanks to his persistence, professionalism and careful handling of my case, the matter was ultimately settled out of court with a warning instead. This was an enormous relief, and I truly appreciate the time, effort and care Samir put into achieving this outcome. He handled everything with great patience and professionalism, kept me reassured throughout the process, and provided excellent legal support during what was a very stressful time. I would highly recommend Samir and Manak Solicitors to anyone seeking professional and compassionate legal assistance. Thank you again for all your help!!!

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.

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.

Fantastic support

I used Manak for family and financial proceedings during a divorce process. Aneeta and Davina have been exceptionally helpful through the most difficult times. Their expertise have been invaluable and they managed my expectations in an appropriate and understanding way. Despite challenges with communication with the other party they always remained extremely solutions focused and pragmatic. Having Davina present at court proceedings was critical and I truly cannot imagine going through court proceedings without Manak professional guidance and human approach. They recommended fantastic barristers who have helped to present my case appropriately and convincingly in court and the result has been a settlement that is fair.
