Top advice for the win!

Laura helped me put an end to a ridiculous financial order legal case.
It should’ve been straight forward but my ex thew obstacle after obstacle.
It was an expensive endeavour, but I got the result required and I can move on with my life after almost 6 years of my ex hanging over me.
The approach taken was a belt and braces approach. Given the nature of the barriers placed by my ex, this was necessary. The barristers appointed and recommended were excellent too!
Communication was clear, and they were always available. I would thoroughly recommend!

2 1/2 yr divorce

I endured a 2 1/2 yr divorce against an aggressive opposition. I used KJ Smith, Kulbir and her team (Daisy and Karen) have been amazing. They have always been supportive and helped me navigate the process. Their choice of Barrister was excellent. Highly recommend. The outcome was good considering what we were up against.

Exceptional Advocate: Kate Evans Secured Me 5x the Initial Offer in a Challenging Divorce

I cannot recommend Kate Evans highly enough for her exceptional legal representation during my extremely challenging divorce. What began as a deeply unfair situation with my ex-husband initially offering only £15,000 of our marital assets turned into a successful resolution where I received nearly five times that amount.
Throughout the grueling 15-month process, Kate demonstrated unwavering professionalism and determination. She meticulously built my case, thoroughly investigating our financial circumstances and identifying assets that my ex-husband had attempted to minimize or conceal. Her attention to detail was remarkable.
Kate's strategic approach to negotiations proved invaluable. She knew precisely when to push forward and when patience would yield better results. Her deep knowledge of family law and asset division enabled her to counter my ex-husband's difficult tactics effectively.
What truly sets Kate apart is her combination of legal expertise and genuine empathy. She understood the emotional toll this process was taking and provided steadfast support while maintaining professional boundaries. Her clear communication kept me informed at every stage, explaining complex legal concepts in accessible terms.
Thanks to Kate's skillful advocacy, I secured a fair settlement that properly reflected my contributions to our marriage and provides financial security for my children and our future. In what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging chapters of my life, having Kate as my solicitor made all the difference.

Thank you again Kate for fighting in my corner.

A thoroughly professional approach

A thoroughly professional approach to the execution of my mother’s probate by Rachelle Moore. She was helpful and informative throughout the process. She was also very patient with my many questions and suggestions which were always responded to very promptly.

I wished to update my Will and searched the website for suitable Solicitors and chose KJSmith
Spoke to Holly the Legal Secretary who forwarded questionnaire and other documents to enable them to work for me
A meeting was arranged with Rachelle Moore at the Woodley office
I explained my wishes and requirements and Rachelle explained the the legal aspects together with advice on tax & inheritance - very helpful
A draft was made and approved and visited Woodley office for signatures of final document
Would recommend this organisation for their professional service - with extremely friendly helpful nice people

Expert advice from Eleanor Tanner

I recently engaged the services of Eleanor Tanner based in the Newbury office of K J Smith solicitors.
Seeking advice with my Separation Agreement, at all times I found her answers detailed, comprehensive and thorough.
It felt like 'expert' level advice, exceptional for a young solicitor. At the same time, when clarification was required, Eleanor was also approachable.
Eleanor is a valuable member of the K J Smith team and I recommend both her and the firm.

Shakira listened and understood my requirements and explained what the best course of action to take would be. Clear in pricing and estimation of the effort required made the whole process much easier to go through. Would recommend KJS.

I initially saw Sofie Corbin for free consultation, to discuss my situation.
I have worked with Sofie now for the last 2years, nothing is ever too much trouble, and she is always happy to explain things if I am unsure of anything.
It is very reassuring to have somebody this competent in your corner.

Excellent

My advice to anyone going through a divorce, would be to ensure that they have a solicitor that they trust to support them during the process. Kulbir Rahi and her team at KJ Smith Solicitors were an amazing support to me throughout my very long, drawn out divorce. At all times their professionalism and guidance was invaluable. Emails and queries were always answered promptly and no question felt too insignificant. I was kept fully informed of progress throughout and I was always able to speak to someone from the team regarding my situation. I could not have wished for better support during this most difficult period of my life. Thank you.

All my proceedings have gone well. I have noticed I had the upper hand on a couple of occasions as the other solicitor we were dealing with didn't notice the finer details. Its reassuring my legal representative knows their area of expertise which is exactly what you want.
