  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Excellent service - managed complex sale transaction

We engaged Smartlegal to deal with the sale of our flat which was in a new build high risk block and affected by the Fire regulation issues. Lakshmi did an excellent job of addressing buyer queries and pushed what was a difficult transaction forward.

Incredible, couldn't have asked for more!

Lakshmi and Aswathy were incredibly helpful in helping us complete our first home purchase. We had a stressful time dealing with the seller's unresponsive solicitors, but Smart Legal were incredibly efficient in resolving blockers and chasing up unresolved items so that we were able to complete on our new home by the agreed date. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Avoid at all cost!!!! Don’t trust all these Google review. Everyone recommended Lakshmi but she is very unprofessional. I let her handled my case at first but after the first week it was 0 progress nothing has been done at all. I tried to call her as I want to speak to her in person, the receptionist would always say she is busy and she will call you back. But actually she would never call you back, so you have to keep calling and calling again then you might be able to connect to her assistant. Besides, it took two to three days for her assistant to reply to email, I asked them how come they can’t reply quicker they said if I want them to reply within 24 hours I have to pay extra! How ridiculous is that? It should be their responsibility to reply to clients within the day. Also they even got my name and address wrong!! At last I have to change my solicitor coz they were just too ridiculous and unprofessional

I recently used the services of Mahinan at Smart Legal for our property purchase, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

From the initial consultation to the completion of the legal process, Mahinan demonstrated a profound understanding of our needs and objectives. Their attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our case was thoroughly addressed, leaving no room for uncertainty or confusion.

Not only did Mahinan provide expert legal guidance, but they also exhibited remarkable communication skills, keeping us informed and updated at every step of the way. This level of transparency and accessibility instilled a sense of trust and confidence in their abilities.

Based on my experience with Mahinan at Smart Legal, I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Should the need arise in the future, I would not hesitate to engage their services again.

Thank you for your support and services.

Aisha Sahadevan has been an excellent solicitor throughout my four-month purchasing process. As a first-time buyer, I appreciate her guidance and responsiveness to my queries. She is highly efficient and possesses the patience to provide further explanations if required.
