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.

They are on your side

From start to finish with the sale of my old house and the purchase of my new home, Tanya was calm and clear in her communication with me. This stopped me from getting stressed. She heard all my instructions and let me know what to do and when. This made the process very smooth as it is too easy to barrage the team when there are periods when it seems as if nothing is happening. House selling and buying will take several months to complete and there are periods when the team gets on with the work and we don't have to. Tanya was professional and light and protected me when other party's were quite impatient and obviously only concerned about themselves and their commission! I would heartily recommend Manak. They will look after you. Thank you Tanya and the team.

Thank you so much for this fantastic and highly detailed review! Moving home is famously one of life's most stressful events, so hearing that Tanya’s calm, clear communication kept you completely grounded and stress-free means a great deal to us. You’ve perfectly highlighted one of the trickiest parts of any property transaction, those quiet periods where a lot of heavy lifting is happening behind the scenes. We are so glad Tanya kept you perfectly paced so you always knew what to do and when. Protecting your best interests and shielding you from the impatient, commission-driven pressures of other parties is exactly what a great legal team should do. Congratulations on your move, and we wish you every happiness in your new home!

I recently visited Manak Solicitors for my deed poll, which was signed by Adella Thomas, and I honestly could not be happier with the service I received. From the moment I arrived, the receptionists were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the whole team made me feel truly seen, heard, and supported throughout the process. Everyone was so genuine, professional, and compassionate, which made a huge difference to me personally. I really appreciated how much they genuinely wanted to help and ensure everything was handled smoothly. Their kindness, professionalism, and exceptional service made what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and reassuring. Thank you so much to Adella Thomas and the entire team at Manak Solicitors — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for supportive, professional, and genuinely caring legal services.

I cannot thank Adella Thomas, Baldip, and the whole team at Manak Solicitors enough for everything they have done for me over the last 5 years. Family proceedings are emotionally exhausting and at times overwhelming, and there were many moments where I felt stressed, anxious and unsure about what the future would look like. Throughout it all, Adella showed professionalism, patience, compassion and incredible dedication. What impressed me most was that I never felt like just another client. Adella always took the time to explain things clearly, guide me through difficult decisions and support me during some of the hardest periods of my life. She consistently went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I would also like to thank Baldip, who represented me as my barrister. His professionalism, preparation and guidance throughout the proceedings gave me confidence during a very stressful process. Having strong representation at such an important stage made a real difference and I truly appreciated his support and commitment. No matter how complex or stressful matters became, I always felt that the team genuinely cared and wanted the best possible outcome for me and my family. Their hard work, attention to detail and commitment never went unnoticed. I’m truly grateful not only to Adella and Baldip, but to the wider team at Manak Solicitors for standing by me through a very long journey and helping me reach the finish line. I would wholeheartedly recommend Adella Thomas, Baldip, and Manak Solicitors to anyone needing legal support. Thank you all for everything

I’m writing this review because I too would appreciate an honest and raw review, and I want to help others. I was dealing with a TFL case which was incredibly stressful. I came across Samir; Manak Solicitors. Initially, I had seen good reviews but in hindsight, I was in such a vulnerable position that I didn’t want to dig further and I just wanted my case to be over with. Of course later on, when I did more digging around which I really recommend in doing, I found ALL the reviews very beneficial. I called Samir to book a consultation and it was a two minute call (I kid you not, literally two minutes; I had gone back to check because it felt so wrong). Samir on the call sounded very unbothered, not empathetic, and very cold. He told me that he’ll send me a link to pay him £200 for the consultation and that we will have a mental health approach… I also thought that was odd because it felt like he was reading off a script and most probably used that exact approach to many others. I paid the £200. Organised a date and time for the consultation. I specifically asked if I needed to bring/ do anything to prepare for the consultation and Samir had said no. When it came to the consultation, the whole thing felt rushed which was diabolical because I had paid him for my services. I felt like I was wasting Samir’s time. I felt like he was fed up. When I would ask questions, he looked as if he wanted me to leave the room. He just felt very agitated and annoyed I was there in the first place. Samir had asked me to go through my paperwork and highlight things. Because of his whole demeanour, (I have mentioned above) I felt under pressure and couldn’t concentrate. It annoyed me because I had asked him before if I needed to prepare anything beforehand and he said no. Had I have known to highlight things, I would’ve done that before and felt more prepared in the consultation… When I was taking notes, I felt like he was judging my note taking when mind you, considering my career and years of dedicating my life to education, I know very well how to take notes. Again, he was cold and I felt like I was just another number added to his client list. The action plan after the consultation was to gather mitigations to put forward to my case. I still felt off vibes and I just wasn’t confident that he would win my case. At this point, I still was doing research and hadn’t paid Samir further to have him represent me. Some time later, I felt like Samir was very unorganised and I didn’t feel like he even cared about my case at all. I was completely thrown off. I ended up not continuing with Samir and I am so thankful that I didn’t. I don’t recommend him at all.

from Manak Solicitors

Very Good Solicitors

Working in the property industry, I know how crucial a proactive solicitor is to keeping a transaction together. Manak Solicitors consistently deliver an outstanding service. Simran Bahia is my absolute go-to solicitor. Her professionalism, sharp attention to detail, and clear communication make every transaction seamless. I have recommended Manak Solicitors to several of my clients and will continue to do so without hesitation.

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 am so pleased that I was recommended Manak Solicitors for my recent house move, and would not hesitate to use them again. All emails, phone calls and queries were answered promptly with diligence and care every single time, and any delay in the chain (of which there are usually many during a house move), were never due to lack of effort on Manaks part. I would like to single out Simran Bahia for praise especially, who was our case handler during our purchase, chain collapse, and purchase again of a different property. Throughout, she was always available, always thorough, and utterly professional. A first class service and a credit to her company and industry.

I had an excellent experience with Manak Solicitors when purchasing my first property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. A special thank you to Margaret, who was my conveyancer throughout the purchase. She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, efficient, and progressed quickly, and Margaret kept me informed every step of the way, always explaining what was happening and what the next steps would be. Her communication was exceptional—she responded to emails incredibly quickly, was always helpful, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The quality of service she provided was outstanding and made what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. Manak Solicitors came highly recommended to me, and I’m so glad I chose them. Their pricing is fair, their service is exceptional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Margaret and the whole team to anyone looking for a reliable, professional conveyancing solicitor.
