Tagged solicitor Lee Wilcockson

I phoned several solicitors and they complicated a simple problem saying I would have to do this and that and it was the only way .and it would cost me from 850 pounds up to 1700 pounds . I felt let down as what I was asking for seemed simple . I then looked at review sites and noticed BTMK stood out . so I gave them a ring . And straight away was informed I didn't really need any solicitors all I had to do is wait a few months and the problem I thought I had wouldn't be a problem at all . How honest was that !!!. What a relief it is to find Honest people with good advice. Thank you BTMK. If I need a solicitor in the future I will surely come to you .

I was fortunate enough to have Zubair Dharamsi as my lawyer. He was extremely supportive throughout my sometimes distressing and very frustrating case. Zubair was very professional yet empathic also to my situation. I cannot thank him enough for all his time and effort in helping me get the outcome I wanted. I will be forever grateful. Thank you Zubair and thank you Rose & Rose.

Nimalee Bastian-Carter

Tagged solicitor Nimalee Bastian-Carter

I was recommended to Judge and Priestley by a friend. Our situation was extremely difficult, we required a home visit. I thought this would be difficult but the appointment was arranged without any hesitation. The advice we were given was explained in a very helpful and friendly manner, it was very clear which made it easy for us to understand. I would use your services again, and recommend your company to other friends.

Agata NaporaPaul Reay

Tagged solicitors Agata Napora and Paul Reay

I had a consultation with McAlister Family Law when I was engaged with another reputable law firm after the situation escalated significantly. During the initial consultation, Agata Napora and Paul Reay came up with a list of things that have to be done immediately in order to prevent the worst outcome. The complicated law matters were explained clearly from the beginning, even though I did not know the process. Paul was really honest, confident and proactive, which made me feel like I was the winner of the case already. Paul and Agata took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole process stress-free. In just a week, we got the maximum result that I could only have wished for a week ago.

Bilal Raza

Tagged solicitor Bilal Raza

I had a very positive experience with Bilal Raza at BW Solicitors in Ilford, who handled my legal application. From the beginning, Bilal was calm, understanding and professional. He took the time to understand my situation and always focused on what was best for me, without unnecessarily complicating the case. He explained the process clearly, handled everything very smoothly, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me a lot of reassurance during what could otherwise have been a stressful time. I really appreciated his straightforward and supportive approach and the way he managed the entire process from start to finish. I would highly recommend Bilal Raza to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support with a family matter. Thank you, Bilal, for making the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Lauren Riley

Tagged solicitor Lauren Riley

When faced with the difficult decision to seek an enforcement order for a child arrangement order, I knew I needed a solicitor who was not only legally sharp but also deeply understanding of the sensitive nature of the situation. From the moment I instructed her, Lauren Riley proved to be exactly that and more. The process of enforcing a child arrangement order can be incredibly stressful, and Lauren handled every step with a perfect balance of legal assertiveness and genuine compassion. She listened carefully to my concerns about the breaches of the order and meticulously gathered the necessary evidence. Lauren’s guidance was invaluable, as she clearly explained the legal requirements and what to expect from the court proceedings. Her communication was excellent; she was always available to answer my questions and provided regular updates, which gave me immense peace of mind during a very anxious time. Lauren's ability to present a clear and compelling case to the court was instrumental in the positive outcome we achieved. She was a tireless advocate for my child’s best interests, and I felt completely confident in her representation. Thanks to Lauren's expertise and dedication, me and my child are getting required building blocks put in place by the court . I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren Riley to any parent who needs a solicitor to navigate the complexities of child arrangements and enforcement. She is a compassionate and formidable lawyer who truly fights for what is right."
