Regarding Dan Norris - Family Law

I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Dan Norris for his exceptional support and kindness over the past two years. Navigating through such a messy divorce was incredibly challenging, but your unwavering professionalism and empathy made a world of difference.

Your guidance and understanding provided me with the strength and clarity I needed during this difficult time. I truly appreciate the dedication and care you showed throughout the entire process.

I am now in my new house and finally have new beginnings

Thank you once again for being such a remarkable solicitor and for your invaluable support.

I wish you well for the future.

Kim

Unprofessional and not good value for money

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. 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.

Great service.

In terms of feedback, I can’t really fault the support you [Kulbir Rahi] have provided me over the past couple of years, and in particular, your responsiveness at key times has been appreciated. I’ve been very happy with the advice given and I think your recent support in coming to a sensible settlement has been perfect. Your drafting has been excellent, and I have been very happy with the way we have worked between us to get the message across I wanted to throughout.

I was very worried about troubles with seeing my daughter and was looking for a place to speak to someone about it . I’m so glad I came across Kjs solicitors as if I didn’t I wouldn’t have spoken to the wonderful ladies Beth and Hannah . I appreciate them for talking me through it and making me feel comfortable and at ease . I will definitely be contacting them again soon after I had my FREE 45 minute consultation today! Thanks a million.

I would like to thank the solicitors at K J Smith for the professional and friendly way they handled my divorce, especially Beth, Emily & Antonia. It's been a long drawn out process and at every step they were there with updates and answered any questions I had.

Obviously I wouldn't wish a divorce on anyone, but if you are looking for a firm that are friendly and professional, look no further.
