To anyone considering Hannah as a solicitor, I'd like to tell you that you shouldn't even be considering it, just do it.
She is a busy bee, yet always on the ball, she gave me legal advice and helped me do my position statement before I was even her client.
She gives brilliant advice, and follows ups with emails sending relevant information and links.
She does a variety of different legal work including Legal Aid and Pro Bono.
To anyone who would like to know she asslisted myself regarding a SGO, definitely knew her stuff.

The most awesome service!

I have the best experience! The support, attention to detail, professionalism, proactiveness, understanding and all round service has been absolutely brilliant. When dealing with sensitive and personal matters, it can be hard to trust, but I have felt extremely supported and they have made it so easy to build trust and transparency. I couldn't recommend Catwright King anymore. Ravi and Majeja in particular have been so amazing, I couldn't have got through this difficult time without their services.

SGO legal advice

Myself and husband were going through the process of having an SGO assessment done for our foster child. Lynsey gave us consistent professional advice and talked us through everything ensuring we understood exactly what was happening, what we should expect and avenues we could take for further support. We cannot thank her enough for putting our minds at ease and giving us the information we needed to carry on with a successful application. Thank you so much!

Military - Accused of acts I did not commit

I was innocent and nobody believed me, accused of multiple crimes that would result in potentially going to prison and losing everything.

Cartwright kings (Laura Smith) and my appointed Barrister Ged O'Connor (23ES) proved my innocence in less than 2 hours after a very stressful, worrying and life altering 11 month criminal investigation by the Royal Military Police.

Both throughout the entire process were outstanding, from initial meeting to the 1 day spent in court martial. Without them both, I dread to think what my life would be like.

Cartwright Kings during my case went through huge organisational change, even this did not falter the service I was provided.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Testimonial for Cartwright King Solicitors

This review is for a different branch.

Any one who needs help with any difficult and mostly traumatic family problems, this should be your one stop shop. I was extremely lucky to be introduced to not one but two outstanding and proficient solicitors on my long and difficult journey to have contact with my son. Yvette Wadeley introduced herself and explained my position in terms that were simple and concise which eased a lot of mental stress I was under. Then as we approached litigation for court Mr Daniel Maiden continued forward into court with his outstanding knowledge and forte' in family matters and excelled in court, defending my cause and gaining a major result for myself and son, thankyou so much to both of these extraordinary solicitors who helped me so much kind regards Brian.H

We used Cartwright King to handle the immigration process required to allow my partner, now wife, to settle with me upon my return to live in the UK, after living/working in the Middle East for many years.
Sherena was most professional, holding remote video sessions whilst we were still living abroad and keeping us informed of the visa submission process/application status. Both visa applications were successfully completed at the first attempt. The visa process can be daunting and the supporting documentation extensive, which risks the application being rejected should the submission fail to satisfy immigration requirements. I recommend using an experienced immigration solicitor, such as Cartwright King, rather than attempt to navigate the process oneself, to avoid potential omissions or insufficient evidence, which may lead to a rejected visa application.

A representative from Cartwright King Solicitors responded to this review on 18 January, 2022:

Thank you Ian for your review of Cartwright King Solicitors. We're so pleased that Sherena was able to help with the immigration process and we hope she was a pleasure to work with throughout. We take pride in our customer service and want to ensure that all of our clients get the best legal support. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you again for choosing Cartwright Kind Solicitors.
