    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.

    Great Partnership with Samir

    I was in an incredibly stressful situation with the TfL lately and Samir's guidance and expertise was instrumental in helping resolve the issue. I wouldn't wish the situation on anyone but if they found themselves in the same spot as me, I highly recommend partnering with Samir.

    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.

    I can’t thank Samir at Manak Solicitors enough for his exceptional service. When I first came to him, I was feeling completely hopeless because other law firms had told me my chances of success were almost 0%. From the very first consultation to the final outcome, Samir showed true professionalism, empathy, and a deep understanding of the legal issues involved. He explained everything clearly, answered every question with patience, and made sure I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best result were genuinely impressive. I will definitely be returning to Samir for any legal matters in the future. If you’re looking for a solicitor who offers both expertise and genuine personal support, Samir is an outstanding professional.

    Manila Solicitors helped me settle a case with SWR in record time. 3 weeks from initial consultation to resolving my issue. Saved me six months of battles and communications. His pricing was also clear and transparent upfront. I also had prepaid packages to choose from and a max capped limit on total spend which many other solicitors don’t do and will just keep billing you until you’re bankrupt. Highly recommend. Very empathetic team too - provided much needed surety, reassurance and peace of mind when I needed it (without any b.s.)

      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.
