Arj Arul

Tagged solicitor Arj Arul

I can't recommend Arj and his team highly enough - compared to many other lawyers and law firms I've worked with they're a pleasure: responsive, clear, intelligent, knowledgable, pragmatic, empathetic and humane, and great value for money. The services they've provided in our 'start up' years have been perfectly suited to a small team.

Tim Grainger

Tagged solicitor Tim Grainger

An exemplary service from a firm whose professionalism extends beyond knowledge and advice to an understanding of my needs. Tim has been first class in his handling of what has been a stressful and difficult time for me with my previous employers. The matter was dealt with swiftly and reached a successful outcome within a fee weeks. Highly recommended to all.

Celia Willcock

Tagged solicitor Celia Willcock

I have only high praise and recommendation for Celia and her team at Kingsfords. Throughout the process of selling our home, Celia and her team were always incredibly efficient - I would set reminders to follow-up for updates, only to receive the updates days before my scheduled reminder. The timely communication meant what could have been a stressful process was actually very straight-forward. They excel at attention to detail and forward planning. I am extremely grateful to Celia and her team for this.

Daniel Couchman

Tagged solicitor Daniel Couchman

Hiring Daniel is possibly the wisest decision you’ll make this year. In a time of great personal anguish Daniel employed his very considerable knowledge and expertise to successfully shield and defend myself and my family from an unjustified legal offensive following a commercial dispute. We’re among those clients he successfully helped “get out of a deep hole”. In engaging Daniel you have the assurance of a lawyer who acts for you with the same commitment and determination as he would if acting for his own mother.
