Extremely knowledgeable!
I've met Sital in 2019 when I needed legal support with my family proceedings. My case was only finalised recently, however the preparation of the case and Sital's legal advice and support helped me all the way through. Sital made sure I had the best barristers with me in court.
I would like to thank Sital for her excellent work, professionalism, kindness and understanding, especially on those occasions when things were very stressful and I was extremely anxious. I always felt that however busy she was, I was always lent a sympathetic ear which was very much appreciated. I felt so lost during my family proceedings, however Sital gave me her legal advice to the best of her ability, which was always first class.
I would highly recommend Sital and her team and would definitely use them again in the future. Many many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant!

Prenuptial Agreement
Sital Somaiya prepared my prenuptial agreement. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. It’s never pleasant to prepare for a divorce, and I hope this document never needs to be used, however,
I have peace of mind knowing my assets are protected. I highly recommend Sital and Signature Law. They will also be preparing my will.

Responsive, clear and helpful
I am very glad to have had Sital's support for my application about child arrangements. She made me feel listened to, and clearly understood what I was trying to communicate. Her advice has always been clear and helpful. Having worked with other family solicitors who take weeks to reply to messages from clients, it is such a relief that communication with Sital is so timely and responsive. Strongly recommend!

Full confidence in Signature Law
I have been represented by Signature Law on and off for over 5 years now whilst going through the family courts. The first incident being when my young children were abducted by their father. It was through being represented by my solicitor at Signature Law that I was able to have them swiftly returned to me. I have always been represented by Sital Somaiya and have always felt well guided by her and have always trusted that the lives of my children were in good hands with her representing us. Ms Somaiya has always achieved the outcomes that were best for the children and in line with what I wanted for them. My ex partner has been extremely challenging in every aspect and Ms Somaiya always helped manage the situations for me with the highest level of professionalism as well as showing empathy and kindness towards me in the most difficult of times. I will be forever grateful.
