Excellent care and compassion coupled with high professionalism

I was in a bad state and had no idea what to do for the best regarding my situation. After an online meeting, I was put at ease and things were explained to me in a clear and concise way. Throughout everything I was kept informed and updated and the compassion and personal touch I received made a horrible situation into something that was not a big deal. Could not recommend highly enough.

I cannot thank Harpreet Sihra enough for her prompt attention and clear advice that she gave when it came to finalising my divorce. I was kept informed and up to date as things progressed. Harpreet was efficient and friendly and dealt with the matter in a very professional manner. I would highly recommend Harpreet to prospective clients.

Child custody

There cannot be anything much more stressful for a mother than battling over child custody with an ex-partner. Daniel Norris not only listened to me with empathy he provided me with the reassurance and legal guidance I desperately needed. I left their offices knowing the custody of my child was safely secured

Excellent service, highly recommend.

After being faced with huge disappointment from numerous other law firms, I found KJ Smith Law. During the initial consultation meeting, Beth was very helpful and honest about the strength of my case and possible outcomes. From the minute I decided to instruct Beth as my solicitor her communication and response times have been faultless. She has been thorough, fair and transparent in fighting my case.
Her advice has always been clear and concise, allowing me to make informed decisions, in turn easing some of the stress off a very stressful situation. Beth was very supportive, and I felt like I had someone in the know, fighting my corner every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, professional and competent solicitor. I have no reservation in highly recommending KJS solicitors.

Excellent service from KJSmith Solicitors

I have had an excellent experience under the care of Edward Morton and Jack Owen during my child matter case. They have walked me through this alien process with ease and were able to provide attainable results. They were approachable and made the whole process effortless. I would definitely recommend that if you are having a child matter case you consider using KJSmith as your representatives.

Lack of service for divorce

I engaged this office, after weeks weeks chasing I got a very very poor document, but got charged a lot of money for, I then got charged twice as much for another document, which I haven’t seen yet, I raised a complaint, but the office was just keen to close it and now move on, I am a lot of money out of pocket and got nothing to show. Have now changed to another company to support me

I would never use this firm

Having decided to end my marriage of thirty years it was with some trepidation that I phoned the Woodley practice. I was immediately put at ease by the sympathetic response from the reception team. I later met Sam Archer and her colleagues (In full Covid masks and social distancing) and was treated with understanding, empathy and a very professional approach. There were a few bumps along the way, but Sam dealt patiently with the third-party solicitor putting her right on some errors and resolving problems. If your ship of life runs into stormy waters, then nail your colours to KJSmith's mast and let Sam and her crew bring you to safe harbour!! Excellent service, Thank you all.

My experience was very positive. I was treated with respect and compassion from the first meeting and was never spoken down to. My solicitor was determined and knowledgeable and always managed to keep an air of professionalism. She ensured that I was updated and that I had assistance should I require it. She kept in close contact with me and I was always updated on proceedings. I can not recommend them highly enough.

Rachael Stephen's has been very professional and thorough throughout my divorce process to ensure that I fully understood what was going on and the position I was in, to ensure the right outcome for myself and my children. She was always quick to response to my emails and kept me up to date with the situation. I would recommend Rachael at K J Smith Solicitors.
