Southgate Solicitors
My partner and I recently used Anthony Wilkinson at Southgate Solicitors for legal assistance, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the service we both received. From the very first consultation, they were professional, approachable, and incredibly thorough. Communication was always clear and timely, and we felt fully informed and supported throughout the entire process.
Anthony & Ceylan both showed real expertise and attention to detail, making what could have been a stressful situation much more manageable. They were always available to answer our questions and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.
We highly recommend Southgate Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated legal support. Exceptional service from start to finish.

Amazing
Southgate has been my solicitor since 2021, ive had to have assistance with my private court matter and quite frankly I'd always choose
Southgate and ceylan to represent me.
Now I'd always recommend Ceylan for her personal approach and advise,
my barrister Ann may worked with me and really got to know me and put it all the information together and has a way with her words.
we have to remember it's the work we all put in and the effort to change and be better,
Thank you ceylan and Anne May.

The best law firm
I reached out to this firm after a friend had recommended them. Ceylan is the solicitor handling my care proceedings with the help of her Paralegal, Aleeza.
They are very attentive to detail. Professional standard is second to none. Understanding and genuinely care about my feelings. They have always gone above and beyond in order to obtain the best results possible. My son’s future is looking bright. I can’t thank Ceylan and her team enough.
They have been nothing short of spectacular!

Child protection
I have been allocated Ceylan since finding about the Southgate Solictor firm. Ceylan has been simply amazing to work with; very understanding, always replied to me on time & over all she has always gone the extra mile with keeping my son in my care. She is very professional & keeps a very emotional standard with her clients which is always needed; a person who understands.
We have steped down from a Child protection plan which was close to going to court however With Ceylan's help we have exited the whole plan into simply not having any social services needed. I'd recommend Ceylan to anyone needing.

Ceylan Kayha dealt with my case and she’s brilliant. No messing about and straight to the point with things.
I wish that I went with this form of Solicitors at the beginning of my case. They do their best to get the best possible results.
Ceylan Kayha is always very approachable and professional, and I can’t thank her enough for all her help.
