Court Representation

I met with Sajeela at the Johnson Astills office and we discussed my case in which she gave me very good advice which helped with my social anxiety somewhat. I told Sajeela how I would want the case to go and she said she would endeavour to do so ...and she did , I got the best possible outcome by far considering all events .Sajeela was polite and courteous in all events and often smiling, I always felt her being onside . I wouldn't hesitate in using Johnson and Astills again and a special thank you to Sajeela in getting me the best possible outcome

Professional and good communication

I used Johnson Astills for my divorce. Shannan managed to get this completed despite difficulties communicating and getting responses from my ex partner. She kept me updated throughout and was very professional and clear in the next steps.

Exceptional

I cannot recommend this Law firm highly enough. From the very first consultation, the level of professionalism, clarity, and genuine care I experienced was exceptional. Legal matters can often feel overwhelming, but my solicitor took the time to explain every step in a way that was both thorough and reassuring, ensuring I always felt informed and in control. What truly sets this firm apart is their attention to detail and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Every piece of advice was thoughtful, strategic, and tailored specifically to my situation. Communication was consistently prompt and transparent, which made a significant difference during what could have been a very stressful process. Beyond their technical expertise, it was their approachability and integrity that stood out most. I never felt like just another case file—they demonstrated a genuine interest in my circumstances and handled everything with both professionalism and empathy. Thanks to their dedication and skill, the outcome exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a solicitor who combines deep legal knowledge with outstanding client care, this firm is an excellent choice.

Collaborative divorce proceedings

Emma was my solicitor during my collaborative divorce process, and I can't recommend or thank her highly enough. She provided clear legal and financial advice throughout the entire process and was able to clearly explain all the steps and help us to come to a fair arrangement which took our family's and our individual needs into account, without unnecessary stress or confrontation, to ensure that all the family felt like the arrangements were agreed without conflict. This made the overall divorce cheaper and emotionally less fraught, and Emma provided an excellent and efficient service throughout, with quick responses to all my questions. Highly recommended!

Excellent professional service

I was impressed when I used this firm before and have continued to be impressed. Kate and Lucy , the trainee assisting, were always professional and courteous. Kate is extremely knowledgeable and talked me through all options and aspects of the process and the documentation with clarity and expertise. I would not hesitate to use this firm again and to recommend Kate to my colleagues and friends.

Outstanding support and advice

From the first contact with Johnson Astills and Zahrah Mogra was assigned to the case, we knew we were in very capable hands. Zahrah was very responsive and her professionalism and advice helped me through the interview. The clarity of her advice was excellent and to the point. We appreciated her excellent and proactive communication and her friendly approach in a stressful situation. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Zahrah and Johnson Astills.

S A Case

Being arrested on an allegation of S A was the most shocking and traumatic experience of my life. In a single moment, everything I had worked for and believed in felt like it had been taken away. At the police station, I was provided with a duty solicitor and released on pre-charge bail. Over the following months, I attended three bail appointments, yet each time no one was there to see me. Instead, I was simply handed another letter with a new bail date. Whenever I contacted my solicitor for an update, I was repeatedly told not to worry and that someone would call me. No one ever did. The uncertainty was unbearable. The stress and anxiety became overwhelming, especially as I knew that my witness, whose details I had provided from the very beginning, had still not been properly contacted. After countless phone calls, emails and complaints to the police, I finally received a call from the investigating officer. It is impossible to describe how that phone call made me feel. I was told that I had been charged and that my solicitor had already been informed by letter. My heart sank. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt completely abandoned, not only by the system but also by the solicitor who was supposed to be representing me. That same day, after speaking with my family and close friends, I decided I needed a fresh start. I began searching online for a new solicitor. Like anyone else, I read countless reviews, but something kept drawing me to Johnson Astills Solicitors. Making that phone call was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From my very first conversation with the team, and especially from my first meeting with Helen, everything changed. For the first time since my arrest, I felt someone genuinely listened to me, believed in me and was prepared to fight for me. Helen's professionalism, honesty and reassurance immediately lifted an enormous weight from my shoulders. From that moment until the conclusion of my case, I never once felt unsupported. Every question I had was answered, every concern was taken seriously, and I always knew that Helen was doing absolutely everything possible to achieve the best outcome. One moment that will stay with me forever was when Helen told me she had been working on my case until midnight the night before my hearing. While most people would have been resting, she was still preparing my defence. That level of commitment speaks volumes about the dedication she has to her clients. Walking into court as a defendant is something I hope no innocent person ever has to experience. It is frightening, confusing and emotionally exhausting. I remember hearing the judge discussing dismissing the case, but I was so overwhelmed that I wasn't even sure what I had heard. Then I spoke to Helen. She smiled and said, "It's over. You're going home." Those are words I will never forget for the rest of my life. Living with a S A allegation hanging over me was devastating. It affected every aspect of my life and caused me more emotional pain than I can put into words. But thanks to Helen and everyone at Johnson Astills Solicitors, I was able to get through the darkest period of my life. Their professionalism, compassion, dedication and unwavering belief in me made all the difference. They didn't just represent me—they stood beside me when I needed someone the most. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Helen and the entire team at Johnson Astills Solicitors for everything they did for me. Thank you for fighting for me, for believing in me, and for helping me get my life back. I would also like to wish Olivia and all of the trainee solicitors every success in their careers. If they learn from professionals like Helen and the rest of the team, they will have outstanding futures ahead of them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I am delighted that I was able to persuade the Judge that the case should be thrown out before the trial even started. It was definitely the right result and worth burning the midnight oil for! I hope you will be able to put this terrible experience behind you and move on now. BW Helen & the team

Sharon was my solicitor for a family court hearing, from beginning to end she and her team (Maddie) were always keeping me informed and helping me with everything. On the day I was reassured and kept safe, Sharon made sure I understood everything and gave me the best advise. I cannot thank you enough for everything.
