My experience with Shortlands Solicitors
I would like to thank Shabana Walayat and her assistant Wajiha Shah for their professionalism, kindness and understanding, especially at a difficult, stressful and anxious time for me.
They maintained regular communication and was always available to respond to my many questions. I would most definitely recommend Shortlands and would definitely use them again if I needed to.

Fantastic service
I had a great experience with Shabana/ Shortland Law Firm. Shabana was always very direct and open and she gave me fantastic advice. I felt I could totally trust her from the beginning and she helped me through my divorce, my relocation process, court case, Form e etc. I am so happy to have had her on my side in this difficult time and the outcome was the best possible for me and my children.

Domestic abuse case
Shabana at Shortlands and her paralegal Wajiha have been fantastic throughout my 3 years ordeal in Family court. Shabana has immense experience and is highly skillful and is gives her 100%. I felt thoroughly supported at every step at multiple hearings.
She is very approachable , has excellent to the point communication and available to answer all your questions.
Shabana and her team at Shortlands work round the clock to deliver successful outcomes.
She gently guided me with sharp legal acumen and clarity through multiple hearings and was able to choose the right barristers, keeping the costs as low as possible.
I was successful in fact finding hearings for child care arrangement and got justice in financial remedial case with clean break and I thank Shortlands for it.

Shortland Solicitors
During my initial inquiries looking for a divorce solicitor, I realised that big franchise solicitors were not suitable for me.
I had no idea how to find a good divorce solicitor, but I finally came across Shortlands Solicitors.
I chose Shortlands Solicitors because Shabana and her team, Wajiha and Rouslan, were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry. After my first meeting, Shabana answered all of my questions and covered everything I needed to know. She advised on what the process would be and explained the first steps forward.
From then onwards, they were always quick to respond back to me and kept me updated. They were quick, efficient and kind.
I highly recommend Shabana and her team and I would like to say a big thank you for making sure I had the best possible outcome.
