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.

From the first meeting with Harpreet I knew we had chosen well she was very open and honest of what she could do for us in family court And she delivered in every aspect . Her attention to detail and the work she did on our personal statement made the court appearance easy and straight forward.
We achieved all out goals and this would not have been possible without her time and effort a big Thank you to her team at KJS for there support as well.

Eleanor was extremely friendly from the offset, whereby she took the time to clearly understand my query to best provide the required information.

She was extremely informative throughout, whereby she provided a clear response to my ask and delivered the responses with clear explanations and real life examples to help strengthen my understanding. This has helped support me in the next steps of analysing the information I have received.

I found the call extremely valuable and she has equipped me with the relevant facts, documents and process details to help understand how best to proceed. Would definitely recommend!!

I cannot thank Samantha enough for her incredible support and expertise during my financial settlement case. She was professional, thorough, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Samantha took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood my options and felt confident in the decisions being made. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor were exactly what I needed during such a stressful time. Thanks to her hard work, we were able to reach a fair settlement, and I truly appreciate everything she did for me. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a skilled and understanding solicitor.

My experience with Sofie Corbin in the K J Smith Family Law team has been exceptionally good. She has guided me pragmatically and sensitively throughout a difficult period and achieved a fair and just outcome for me. Her patience and dedication to her clients is evident in her carefully worded correspondence and her openness to suggestions. She explained the law and the implications of each decision with clarity and did not shy away from pushing my views forward to the other party with equal clarity. She kept a friendly yet professional manner throughout our interaction, never shying away from adding a human touch to what is fairly dull and oftentimes disturbing legal communication from the other side. She didn’t overcharge for any of her services, reminding me to be mindful of excessive legal charges. She made her availability known well in advance when she was away from her desk. She was not intimidated by any of the aggression shown by the other party via email and she responded to such comments in a professional and clear manner.

From our very first meeting where her warmth and her willingness to listen were so evident, to her support throughout the process, Sofie has been a true ally. I am glad I chose to put my trust in her competent hands.

I was supported by Emily, who was a great help throughout the process. Her communication was clear and timely, whilst she also kept everything very easy to understand. I could have secured a cheaper alternative business / service, however I felt the service I received was very effective and good value for money.

Hi our dealings with Johanna was first class from start to finish. Informative and friendly nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks and we would have no problem recommending KJ Smith.

Absolute garbage company. Don't waste your money and time. I was with this company for 3 months and after paying over £30,000, it was obvious they are not interested in your views and dont follow simple instructions. They don't add any value to your case. I was working with Emily and then Aaron who was supposed to be more senior, and they drain your time and money doing the basics with back and forth emails. They even do extra work that you didn't request and they expect you to pay for it. They are only interested in your money and couldn't care about your case or welfare. Very crude and insensitive company. Avoid!!!

Pathetic company. Incompetent solicitors who can't follow simple instructions, charge you for extra work that you didn't ask for or need and waste your time with endless emails that they are looking to get paid for. Keep away.

Atrocious and shocking service. They couldn't care about you as a client and only after your money. Even when you dispute the charges and they are "looking" into the complaint, they start to charge you interest. Strongly suggest you seek another solicitor firm.

Having explained my situation regarding my legal parentage status, the family team at KJ Smith set out a clear and easy to understand set of steps to address my legal requirements. Having tried several routes previously, over prior 12months. In under 3months with KJ Smith support I am now legally in an excellent place. I can highly recommend anyone seeking to resolve a family matter to talk to the Ascot team at KJ Smith.

Terrible company, no peoples skill and unhelpful. They dont tailor their work to your needs and everything seems generic. I had to point them in the right direction and prompt them on various points, felt like I was the one doing all the work. Made a formal complain to the company about my solicitor and then was assigned a more 'senior' member who was just as bad. When advising them I will no longer be using their services they were not even interested in finding out why and straight away sent me an inflated invoice. Do not recommend. I am now being advised by a barrister so I definitely recommend exploring this route.
