Family Law review

Recently, my mother and I met with solicitor Daniel Norris from KJ smiths and Barrister Tracey At her Chamber No18 regarding a family law matter. Over the two meetings we had with them, they were very professional and offered honest advice and reassurance, in an extremely caring and friendly manner. We were able to come away from the final meeting with confidence that should we require further help in the future that they would be there to continue their support. We would strongly recommend both of these professionals for the law services they provide.

Complimentary initial appointment

I was extremely impressed with my recent visited to K.J.Smith solicitors in Beaconsfield. I attended a complimentary initial appointment with Anna Ferro. I was treated with courtesy, patience and understanding, and was given a great deal of useful information. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for advice and help with legal matters.

A representative from Kjs Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Dear Pat Thank you for sharing your feedback following your visit to our Beaconsfield office. We’re so pleased to hear that your initial appointment with Anna was such a positive experience and that you felt treated with courtesy, patience, and understanding. Anna will be delighted to know that the information and guidance she provided was helpful to you. Your recommendation means a great deal, both to her and to the wider K J Smith team. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope we can support you again in the future if needed. Kind regards, KJS Solicitors

Just to say thank you Aadil

My case has been ongoing for over ten years, since Aadil took over, he has worked so hard it is nearing the conclusion. In every situation that arises, he would discuss it with me, explore options available to us, give his opinion about what he thinks is the best option going forward, but he would leave it to me to make the final decision. Whenever I call him, he is always there for me, if not available immediately he would call me back. I would describe Mr Aadil Khan as honest, transparent with a human touch. He is rated as one that gives a five star service to his clients Thank you Aadil Khan

Dear Ranold, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely and heartfelt review of your experience with Aadil. We at KJS are delighted to hear how supported and well-informed you felt throughout your experience and wish you every success in the future. Kindest regards, K J Smith Solicitors

Kulbir Rahi was extremely professional and gave insightful advice

I had the pleasure of working with Kulbir Rahi for legal advice regarding a Specific Issue Order and a Child Arrangement Order, where I was the respondent. Kulbir provided clear, tailored guidance that was specific to my situation, and her advice was always direct, insightful, and grounded in experience. She was incredibly responsive and thorough—quick to understand the details of my case and provide practical, fact-based advice. What really stood out was her ability to pick up on nuances that aren’t always black and white. Her understanding of the finer points, often hidden between the lines, made a huge difference. Communication with her was always smooth and professional, and I felt very supported throughout the process. I would highly recommend Kulbir Rahi to anyone needing expert legal support.

Always there for me, he is open and honest. Gave me what the courts would say even if it was something I didn't want to hear so I had context of the process. Advised me of what to do next as I was doing most this myself and pointers in what direction I needed to go and timelines. I definitely couldn't have got to where I am today without him even though it is still on going. Thank you Aadil Tom

I had an excellent experience working with Antonia Clarke on my cohabitation agreement. She was incredibly attentive throughout the entire process, always taking the time to explain things clearly and ensure I felt confident in every decision. What really stood out was her empathy and ability to truly listen. She made me feel heard and understood at every stage, which made a potentially stressful situation feel much more manageable and supported. Her level of experience was evident throughout. she handled negotiations smoothly, and guided everything with professionalism and care. I always felt that my interests were being properly protected. She was also very efficient and thorough, getting everything done to a high standard. I would highly recommend Antonia to anyone needing a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive family lawyer.

Dear Aayesha, Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that Antonia was able to support you with such care, clarity and professionalism, and that you felt confident and well looked after throughout the process. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Kind regards, KJS Solicitors

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully express how grateful I am to K J Smith Solicitors. Going through the court process has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life, but the support, care, and dedication I received made all the difference. Sunny, thank you for your endless patience, understanding, and strength you truly went above and beyond for me, and helped me through moments where I didn’t think I could keep going. Laura, from our very first meeting I knew I was in the right place. Your guidance and reassurance meant more to me than I can put into words, and I’m so thankful for everything you’ve done. They didn’t just handle my case, they supported me as a person and helped me find strength when I needed it most. I will never forget everything K J Smith Solicitors have done for me and my family. I cannot recommend this firm enough.

Dan Norris had £12k put in his account to use. He prolonged correspondence and did not fact check any information given to him. Wasted the funds and would not detail how it was spent. Ongoing complaint currently with the ombudsman and resolution. Avoid this company.

Disappointing Service, No Case Management

I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by Kate Evans at KJ Smith Solicitors and would strongly advise avoiding the Oxford branch altogether. Even in urgent situations, there are far better solicitors available locally. Her case management is non-existent. Her legal knowledge appears largely theoretical, with no meaningful engagement or ability — or willingness — to apply it to the realities of a complex case. She is comfortable producing lengthy but basic emails at £260 + VAT per hour, yet that is essentially all that is offered. She charged £2,500 to read a court bundle and answer six questions in writing. However, after the initial consultation, I was never offered another in-person meeting, solely because I had not signed a full retainer. Unless you commit thousands more upfront, meaningful engagement appears to be off the table. To be clear, I can read, write, complete court forms, and conduct legal research myself. What I was paying for was professional guidance, strategic case management, and experienced direction. Instead, I received generic written responses, no discussion, no practical advice, and no sense of ownership of the case. Overall, the service provided barely qualifies as a professional service at all. With sufficient time, online resources, and AI support, the same level of information can be obtained independently. I awarded two stars solely for the effort of drafting lengthy emails. Beyond that, I received no significant value, no support, and no professional engagement.

A representative from Kjs Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are saddened to receive your negative feedback. A KJ Smith, we take every piece of feedback provided seriously and strive to provide the highest level of service to each and every one of our clients. To better understand and address your concerns, we kindly invite you to contact our Complaints Team (complaints@kjsmith.co.uk) to discuss your experience in more detail and the policies we follow. We genuinely want to resolve any issues you may have experienced and are committed to finding a satisfactory resolution.

Very empathetic and supportive

I would like to thank Lydia for her support on the first visit. I was very worried and scared and I did not know what to expect. Lydia was very empathetic and validated my experience, I felt fully understood and supported. I gathered lots of information, which Lydia presented in a very professional and clear way. I was also given different options and thanks to Lydia I am now much more confident about my next steps. Thank you so much, Lydia, that consultation was a light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Lydia!
