Wouldn't even give one star but had to put down something to post Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend MK Solicitors. My partner’s case was passed to Manisha and Kimberly, and at first it appeared they were acting in his best interests. However, once the matter went to court, it felt as though his position was not properly defended. From my perspective, decisions were made that aligned more with the opposing side than with my partner’s instructions or best interests, and the outcome was devastating, resulting in him being sent to prison and they retractedhis legal aid approach with caution. I found their handling of the case deeply disappointing and lacking professionalism. Overall, I do not feel my partner was adequately represented, and I would strongly caution others against using this firm for criminal matters.

I cannot recommend MK Law enough! They have been fantastic from beginning to end supporting & fighting my my family dog to return home! A special thank you & 10 stars to Terisa & Sophie you guys smashed it - thank you guys so much
I highly recommend Terisa Chaudary. She was professional, responsive, and supportive throughout my case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and provide reassurance when needed. Terisa went above and beyond to help me, and her kindness and dedication made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I am very grateful for her assistance and would not hesitate to recommend her services.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Casey J and Lily at MK Law for the outstanding support and assistance they provided throughout my son's case. From the very inception of the case, there was a clear and effective flow of information, and I was kept updated at every stage of the process. Casey was always professional, responsive, and reliable, replying to my emails promptly and taking the time to answer my calls or call me back whenever needed. Her communication and dedication gave me great confidence throughout the case. My son was also reassured, supported, and treated with care during the entire process, which made a significant difference to him. Lily was an excellent barrister, very confident, articulate, and highly knowledgeable. She clearly understood her responsibilities and represented the case with professionalism and expertise. More so Casey has always been one phone call away during court times, reviewing files, information and double checking any decision with Lily during court proceedings. I am extremely grateful to both Casey and Lily for their hard work, commitment, and support, and I would highly recommend MK Law to anyone in need of legal representation. Kind remarks From Elizabeth
I can’t thank MK Law enough, throughout the build up to my Sons trial then I have been greatly impressed with their professionalism and also at the same time MKLaw showed a human touch. This reassured my family that my son’s fate was in good hands. I would like to thank personally Oliver Dean who was always available for me when I had a question regarding my son’s case. To be able to trust your solicitor when a member of your family’s fate is at stake is a big ask. I can wholeheartedly recommend MKLaw in this respect. And also massive thank you to Manisha our barrister what a brilliant example of our to conduct oneself in court great case management great interpersonal skills, great professional.Thank you again Mr T Mitchell
Ms Applegarth was very misleading in solicitations. Which was Misfortunate in Conducting my case. Therefore MK Law had to withdraw in incompetence of " Professional Embarrassment "
