Syed Naqvi

Tagged solicitor Syed Naqvi

I genuinely don’t have enough words to express how incredible Mr Syed Naqvi has been throughout my case. From the very beginning, he was everything you could hope for in a lawyer — deeply professional, kind, and always present. He was responsive at every stage, no matter how small the question or how late the hour, and made me feel like I was never going through this alone. What truly sets him apart is the way he approaches his work — with heart, with care, and with absolute commitment. He didn’t just represent me; he stood with me. Every step felt thought through, every decision made with integrity and compassion. And the barrister he chose, was just as extraordinary. Sharp, articulate, and fiercely protective — but also deeply understanding and warm. I’ve never felt so safe in such a vulnerable process.I could feel how much they both cared, how much they poured into the case, and how determined they were to make sure I was treated fairly and with dignity. I truly felt like I had the very best people by my side — not just legally, but as human beings. I will never forget what they did for me. I’ll carry their kindness and strength with me always.

Harvey Daniel

Tagged solicitor Harvey Daniel

This man always picked up the phone and answered every questions no matter how small or silly I felt to help my overthinking worrying mind through the family court process. He made me feel at ease and explained everything to me so I fully understood everything. He even went as far as to check in with me after every hearing and every hick up with the other party to check me and my son was okay. He went above and beyond and if anything was to arise again he would be my first port of call instantly. I could not thank him enough for getting me through that hardest time of my life. He has a manner about him that’s calming and understanding and puts u at ease from start to finish. He’s a star! ⭐️

Kiran Bains

Tagged solicitor Kiran Bains

Jenna Oglesby was always willing to take my phone calls when available to do so and reply to emails regarding a purchase that fell through at the last minute, then a purchase I made whilst renting that property. Going through separation and divorce with three young children, securing property has never been more important or more stressful than this last year or so. I felt in such safe hands with Jenna and reassurances she gave me all the way through a very long process. Thank you without end.

Tom Killick

Tagged solicitor Tom Killick

I sought legal advice from Jacob and Reeves for family disputes and children arrangements. Tom Killick was amazing. I can not praise him enough. He was very professional and always had time for my case. He listened and understood straight away what i was seeking for my children. I couldn't survive this highly stressful time without Tom Killick's expertise. I would highly recommend anyone seeking legal representation to go to Jacob and Reeves. I couldn't fault them at all. By far the best solicitor practice and solicitor I have ever known.

I have greatly valued Amy and her support over the last few years. She has given excellent legal advice and I have appreciated her calm and kind reassurance, especially when matters became fraught. I have been able to rely on her superior legal expertise, and to have confidence that the advice and direction given would always be correct. I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy as a truly exceptional family law solicitor.
