Testimonials

I left after the initial call feeling that I didn’t need to go anywhere else…my call couldn’t have been handled any better Lorraine was positive, friendly, professional and gave me real assurance that you could help…at no point did I feel intimidated or vulnerable…I always felt comfortable.

I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to [Kulbir Rahi] for your exceptional representation over the past two years during my divorce proceedings.

Navigating such a challenging and emotionally taxing situation would have been significantly more daunting without your unwavering support and principled guidance. Your commitment to upholding the highest moral and ethical standards, especially in the face of an opposing side devoid of such values, has been a source of immense comfort and strength for me.

Additionally, I am incredibly thankful for your astute decision in selecting Simon. His expertise and strategic approach made a significant difference in the outcome of the case and I am deeply appreciative. Thank you, once again, for your integrity, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout this journey. Your dedication to securing a fair outcome has made all the difference.

Joanna Fahy

When seeking a capable and knowledgeable family lawyer to handle my complex case, I was recommended Kulbir Rahi. Mrs Rahi was referred by a barrister who had worked with her and found her to be highly experienced and understanding.

From the off, Kulbir Rahi understood the urgency of my matter. She knew that I was coming to her already 2 years into legal proceedings, but got to grips with the complex history and had years of legal knowledge of family law to assist me. Kulbir took the weight off my shoulders, applied her in depth knowledge of family law to protect the children and me following an abusive marriage. It was a relief to find someone who had the confidence and care to deal with me and my case in a sensitive manner.

My case concluded successfully for the children and myself in 2020. I am deeply grateful for the legal advice and support of Kulbir Rahi. From my personal experience, I have seen the high calibre of staff recruited by K J Smith.

Mrs S

Excellent facilities and ambience. Meetings were comprehensive and clear – good communications. Progress was good despite Covid 19 causing disruption and delay. Overall a most satisfactory service and we would certainly return if we have any need in the future.

Anon

There are no words to describe how lovely you have been to us [Karen Harvey], you have been totally amazing and we can’t thank you enough!

Thank you for all your hard work, the times when you have spoken to us, your advice to us, your messages in the evening, your wise words... honestly the list goes on!!

We would advise anyone to go and see you if they’re struggling with anything they need legal representation with.

Mike Annett

Finally this has come to an end. This has been a very traumatic time for everyone involved and I am delighted it has ended. I would like to thank you both for your work on this. I will now open the champagne!!

Anonymous

That’s an amazing update and puts my mind at ease, so thank you so much Eleanor for this email and for all your help throughout the process, I would have been lost without your guidance.

BT

I am so grateful for all the support and guidance you [Eleanor Towsey] have given me during this process and for the compassion and understanding you have shown not only with divorce but also with the on-going health issues with my father. It was wonderful to see you on the news at the start of the month, I was with my new partner at the time and said that's my solicitor! I continue to recommend you to any friends who are in need of legal assistance regarding family law due to my experience with you.

Helen M

As you are aware the recent months have been challenging for me and I am very grateful for your calm, considered and thoughtful advice throughout. Whilst the end of the marriage is sad I feel a sense of peace now and I want to thank you [Kulbir Rahi] for helping me with that.

Mrs B

Thank you very much, Kulbir, for taking the time to discuss my situation today. The information supplied was very helpful and it was a pleasant conversation which will help me a great deal.

Mr SC

Throughout my dealings with Robyn I have found her to be approachable, friendly and professional. I like that I feel listened to and have confidence in the advice she gives me.

Jane Tennison

From the first meeting, Robyn exerted warmth and understanding. Her kindness, clarity of explanation and patient understanding of my emotional state encouraged me to ask her to represent me in my divorce proceedings. As the process has progressed, she has always listened to my concerns and intuition regarding my husband's plans.

This meant she was able to take measures to protect me and bring about some action to the proceedings. Indeed, our decision has proved the right one as, otherwise, I would be in an even more difficult position and further away from any conclusion.

She has been vigilant in her updates and recognised when I needed a phone call rather than an email, to reassure, explain and offer a pastoral care. I trust her implicitly and would recommend her to anyone requiring a family law solicitor

Debbie Bird

I believe Kulbir to be a highly skilled solicitor who always acts in an extremely professional manner. I had full confidence in Mrs Kulbir Rahi’s representations... thank you kindly.

Marta Bajer

Robyn Karimaghaee took over my case part-way through court proceedings. Robyn is absolutely incredible on all levels and she got up to speed with my case very quickly. Robyn is emotionally committed, down-to-earth and professional and has fought my case with integrity and supported me with compassion at every step. Robyn has been extremely thorough, and I have every faith in her ability and passion to see my case through to the happy ending we are working towards.

Genevieve Powell

When Covid-19 started I was very worried that I would need to pause my divorce but Eleanor [Towsey] reassured me that we could continue moving forward. Eleanor not only gave me legal advice but also links to websites for domestic abuse and also went a step further by providing me with her personal number if I needed to call her at any point

Susan F

I really am not quite sure how I stumbled upon your firm, but I am so glad I did, as I was really able to understand you [Kulbir Rahi] and gather information to help me to make the right decision for me moving forward. I look for the positive in life and yesterday was so helpful and thank you.

Claire

I came to Kulbir Rahi upon recommendation in March 2019, to help me and my children in a complicated family case. I needed a compassionate yet experienced solicitor to advocate for me and finally let the courts hear the voices of myself and my children regarding contact. Kulbir was that advocate. She represented me for over a year, always professional and fully committed to achieving a positive outcome, with the children's best interests always at heart. When Kulbir Rahi moved to legal firm K J Smith in September 2019 I stayed with her due to her integrity, and strong moral compass. K J Smith offered a supportive service, and clearly attract a high calibre of solicitors.

Ms Stephenson

Kulbir Rahi brought clarity and direction to what had, before her involvement, become an onerous and unwieldy situation. She was able to grasp the nuances of our case with alacrity, and quickly outlined the salient points and actions necessary for me to move forward with assurance. Mrs Rahi has great legal knowledge and a professional but kind manner. Meeting with her made all the difference to me when the going had gotten very tough and I am grateful.

Mrs K H

I have felt supported and empowered to make decisions and life changes that I felt unable to do alone without the guidance and legal advice from you [Edward Morton & Avril Trickey]. You have made a very stressful time much easier for me and my children and I am very grateful.

Thank you so much for everything [Robyn Karimaghaee]. Obviously we will speak again, but just wanted to thank you for all the hard work and being there every step of the way.

I am very happy with the level of service, professionalism and helpfulness from the staff members that dealt with my case

The whole process from start to finish was very well explained and our meetings and tele-cons made everything very clear. Sam [Archer] was very approachable, no questions or concerns were too small or insignificant. I would definitely recommended KJS.

I have found Kerry Smith and her team, compassionate understanding and focussed on achieving the best possible outcome for myself and my child. Dealing with a bitter custody dispute is never easy and I felt as if I have a trusted confidant helping and guiding me through what can be a very stressful situation. We have always discussed the options and possible outcomes and always decided on the best course of action focussing on the needs and feelings of my son. As a single father I would have no issues personally recommending KJ Smith to any mum or dad wanting the best for their child.

I found that on every phone call, everyone was helpful.

The staff were all very friendly during a difficult time for me. My divorce was not always pleasant but the advice and support I received helped me to buy my ex-partner out of my home and ensure my children and I were stable and happy. Thank you to all the Basingstoke team who helped me through this time.

Mrs M, Basingstoke

I had so much to sort out and was full of fear and trepidation. Meeting Jennifer Murray was the first step. She advised me the whole way. It was hard going sometimes but the end result was empowering and a great achievement. Without Jennifer I’m sure my life wouldn’t be as happy as it is now. Thank you.

Mrs L, Hook

I always found my solicitor (Samantha Archer) and all other staff very helpful and approachable. This was very important to me especially at this difficult time in my life.

Very impressed with the service provided by Samantha Archer and Jason Lazard. Courteous, professional and compassionate in handling my divorce.

Mrs C Norris, Reading

We commissioned KJ Smith to act for my daughter through her divorce and found them to be a superb practice. Samantha Archer acted directly for her, she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, with a very kind and understanding nature that helped no end through what was a stressful time. We have recently instructed the practice again in a Lasting Power of Attorney matter and are confident it will be dealt with in the same helpful and efficient manner

Mr Norman Staniford

Very quick and professional service. All sorted on time with good explanation

Ms B, Basingstoke

Going through a divorce is never easy but Sara Ismail helped us to clearly mediate, understand the process and help us when asked. I felt secure and confident that Sara had our children and both of our interests in the forefront of her mind and helped us to come to an agreement that was right for the whole family

Ms. A, Crowthorne

A very professional firm. Extremely happy with Karen O’Hara, who dealt with queries and matters with a fast and efficient approach.

Anon

Sara is more than just a Solicitor. When I was at an all-time low and ready to give in she was there for me and gave me the confidence to carry on. I’m so pleased she did and can’t thank her (and her team) enough.

Mrs S, Windsor

I was made to feel comfortable and the people I met very quickly inspired confidence that they would act in my interests whilst keeping costs to a minimum. I've been very impressed.

Your service was very efficient and friendly and made me feel very relaxed

Mr B - Reading

KJ Smith Solicitors handled matters in a very considerate and professional way. I felt they genuinely cared about me as a person, not just a client. They are a small team, and communication between them is excellent, whenever I called the person on the end of the phone knew who I was and what was happening in my case. …..something you wouldn’t get with a big firm.

Mrs H - Woodcote

It was a delight to be taken care of with full respect by someone who understood the delicacy of the situation. I was nervous but with K J Smith staff I was made calm and all was resolved perfectly.
