K J Smith Solicitors Reviews 

I'm very happy with the service of Sofie Corbin and Kate Evans (Oxford branch). They kept me updated throughout the process and advised me pragmatically as well as legally.

The service I received from Aaron O’Malley was excellent. He was well prepared, listened and gave good balanced advice. I recommend him highly.

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

Worked with KJ Smith on to receive grant of probate and found their service to be efficient, professional and courteous. Would happily work with them again.

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.

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.

Anna was really kind and helpful , very easy to talk to and sympathetic to our situation , she gave us good solid advice which will help us prepare for any future matrimonial problems my daughter should encounter in the future

I spoke to Sofie for a free 45 minute consultation regarding some ongoing issues with an absent father to my daughter.
Sofie was extremely helpful and patient. She listened to me and ensured my questions were answered in great depth.
At the moment, I am still deciding whether court is the right thing to do but I would 100% feel comfortable with Sofie representing me in court and will definitely be reaching out to her if and when I decide to take matters further.
Sofie is an asset to the company! Thank you again for all your help and advice.

Emily Wood, Associate Solicitor for KJSmith Guildford, has been expertly steering me through the choppy waters of my divorce finances.
I have found her to be an astute professional with a calm, self-assured manner.
Emily has been supportive and sensitive to my needs, financial or otherwise, patiently addressing and acknowledging my own suggestions and queries, yet decisive and firm where needed.
Communication with Emily has been incredibly punctual, efficient and informative.
It is reassuring to feel that there is someone out there who will fight my corner and help me see my issue through to its positive end, and Emily is that skilled individual.

Of 4 solicitors contacted for divorce advise and costs this company was competitive and the only one that offered a face to face appointment. My meeting with Emily Wood was assuring with sympathetic understanding which gave me confidence in her professional abilities in representing her company and has shown patience with kindness assisting me n this difficult time .

I recently engaged the services of KJSmith for a child arrangements case, and I cannot speak highly enough of Laura Gusatu. As a father, I initially approached the situation with apprehension, fearing an inherent bias in the court system towards mothers.
However, my experience proved this concern unfounded.

From the outset, Laura was outstanding. She immediately put me at ease with her transparency about the entire process and the associated costs.
Her recommendation of a barrister who matched her thoroughness and professionalism further solidified my confidence. The team worked tirelessly, addressing every question and concern I had with diligence and care.

The outcome was exactly what I hoped for, and I am convinced that it would not have been possible without the exceptional support of Laura and her team. Their efforts have restored my faith in the system, demonstrating that fathers are just as important as mothers in these proceedings. I am immensely grateful to Laura and KJSmith for their dedication and support throughout this journey.

I highly recommend Rachael Stephen at K J Smith Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Rachael for her excellent service with filing the prohibited steps order application - she supported me with achieving the best possible outcome at this stage of my divorce proceedings.

Rachael has provided me with many incredibly helpful and specifically tailored advice to my situations regarding the divorce proceedings, prohibited steps order and child arrangements order - every single one of her advice has been absolutely spot-on and invaluable especially dealing with an extremely difficult ex-partner.

I was also really touched when Rachael was happy to consult with me f-2-f for extra one hour overtime during our free 30 minutes initial consultation meeting - Rachael was extremely empathetic, professional and knowledgeable.

I have now come back to Rachael for her excellent support with the draft child arrangements order in preparation for my next hearing.

Emily wood has been very helpful and I am very happy with the service so far and she has been very patient many thanks Adrian

My ongoing divorce case was taken on by Emily Wood who has been efficient, professional and supportive in what has been a very difficult and stressful time in my life. She takes no nonsense from my husbands ridiculous objections to everything and strives to move the case forward as quickly as possible. I would thoroughly recommend her services.

Kulbir has been brilliant, very knowledgeable and helpful and found me a great barrister. Whilst I’m not happy with the judges ruling, without her assistance it could have been a lot worse!

I have instructed Kate Evans to help me with my tolata and child arrangements. I didn't got so little advice on my options. So lack of comunication when I couldn't reach her first week. I have told her my position what I would like there was no advice on the risks I'm taking with my original proposal or explaining the process clearly. She has send one email with tolata to my ex partner she got respind from him and without any advice or shared her opinion she asked me what is my next step. I have raised concern that I don't feel this is right she explained that I should have taken the lower proposal from my ex partner even thought what I was asking for was already much less than I'm entitled to by law to safe money on legal cost. I don't think this approach is great from solicitors you paid so much money for. They are not on your side they are only going after your money and use advantage over vulnerable people who seeks help. They are not the ones who will genuinely try to help you only take as much money as they can from you. When I have decided to leave and go with different law firm who I spoke and they explained me everything in clear way and told me all my options and the risks I am taking with the original proposal I got email from Kate Evans that they will not transfer my file to new solicitor as there is outstanding balance on my account for work has been done. Eventhought I had still some money there. I had to question this billing as i have not been informed and i didnt instruct them to do anything. She said there was additional work and charged me for even responding to my emails about my complain of her work. The advice she told me to accept the proposal from my ex partner cost me 144 pounds plus vat. The aproximate cost supposed to be around 5000 but only 1 email to my ex partner and his respond cost me £1800. Only after speaking to another law firm I realized how wrong this firm opperate.
