Outstanding from start to finish.

We approached Owen white and Caitlyn. After our previous solicitors fell drastically short of our expectations and requirements. We were put in touch with James Folly and Shamilah Malik who were nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. offering clear and sound advice and never leaving us in the dark on any matter that may have arisen. There's and O.W.C professionalism and expediance are the reason that we are now happy and secure in our new home. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you again.

Review: Tia Oxlade ⭐️ I approached Owen White and Caitlin to help me with child arrangement proceedings in family law, and I was truly shocked by the exceptional service I received. As a legal aid customer, my previous experiences had been disappointing, but Owen White & Caitlin completely changed that perspective. I was treated with the same level of care and attention as any paying customer, which was a refreshing change. My solicitor, Tia Oxlade, represented me throughout the year-long process, and I can’t praise her enough. Tia was incredibly efficient and professional from the start. She truly understood me as a person and treated me as an individual, rather than just another case. She took the time to understand my triggers, how I process things, and always made sure I had the space and time to reflect on decisions—particularly when I acted impulsively with my instructions. She truly wanted the best outcome for me and that showed throughout. Her professionalism was outstanding. Tia was always available for calls, responded promptly to emails, and ensured I felt supported throughout the entire process. The barristers she arranged for my court hearings were fantastic, and their expertise was clearly a reflection of Tia's thorough preparation. Before working with Owen White & Caitlin, I had a terrible experience with a firm in London, and I can hardly believe how different my experience was this time, for the same set of proceedings. I regret not finding Owen White & Caitlin sooner, as I’m confident my first experience would’ve been much more positive if they had represented me from the beginning. Tia really took the time to break everything down for me. She explained each step of the process in a way I could understand, not just the legal jargon, but the logistics and the reasoning behind everything. She also helped me reflect on the reasons things went wrong the first time with my previous firm, which was incredibly valuable to ensure this didn’t happen second time round. I just want to give a massive thank you to Tia. She was absolutely fantastic throughout the year and made me feel at ease every step of the way. If I ever need legal assistance again, I will be going straight to Owen White & Caitlin and requesting Tia, without a doubt. She knew my case inside and out, and even though she’s a very busy person, it was clear she treated my case with the utmost attention and care. Thanks to Tia, I achieved the best possible outcome for my child. I honestly can’t thank her enough for her support!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Henna and Shamilah as our solicitors during the purchase of our new home, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! From the very beginning, they provided exceptional service, guiding us through every step of the process with clarity and professionalism. Henna and Shamilah were always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and they took the time to ensure we fully understood each aspect of the transaction. Their attention to detail and proactive approach made what could have been a stressful experience remarkably smooth and straightforward. What stood out the most was their excellent communication skills. They kept us informed at every stage and provided updates in a timely manner, which gave us great peace of mind. It was evident that they genuinely cared about our needs and were dedicated to making our home-buying journey as seamless as possible. If you're looking for solicitors who are knowledgeable, responsive, and truly committed to their clients, Henna and Shamilah are the perfect choice. We are incredibly grateful for their support and expertise, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to help us with such an important milestone. Thank you both so much! Lucia and Arthur.

I can't praise James Folly and Shamilah Malik enough! Excellent communication and efficiency throughout the process of selling my late mother's house. All concerns were dealt with promptly with emails answered usually the same day. I would without hesitation recommend James and Shamilah and will use them again should the occasion arise.

House Purchase

Rebecca was very thorough and professional throughout the whole property purchase. Our house purchase was complicated due to the seller's side, but her attention to detail and responsiveness really helped. She was always patient with our questions and explained the next steps clearly. Thank you for all your help and support throughout the process to get the purchase over the line. I would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a solicitor.

I am writing a review from hummings, we recently tried to use this solicitor for our lease in our new restaurant. To say they scammed us is an understatement, they charged £1000 deposit, did no work as the lease was on hold due to the landlord having major family issues (very serious ones) and they decided to close our query, they kept the deposit and did not tell us that they were going to keep it.

We tried to use Owen White Catlin as a neighbouring business to get our lease processed. We were not just left disappointed; I am now seeking a full refund for work that was never actually done. They took a deposit and then closed the job before doing any work. They are scammers. It's a shame, as you'd expect more from Esher. DO NOT USE

I thought I would use a nice local solicitor as I have a new lease to sign just down the road, transferred £1000 deposit and then waited for landlord paperwork and due to personal issues etc with my landlords family I have experienced a delay, which given the circumstances is something I expected grace with. I kept emailing to say there’s a delay and instead they decided to close my case and keep my money with no warning to tell me that I had a time limit. I have since emailed them 2/3 times and have heard nothing. They are withholding the money I am owed, seriously disappointed considering no work was done. It’s an obvious lack of professionalism especially from a neighbour business
