Exceptional Service and Dedication from Bel Hester and Jennifer Murray

I cannot recommend Bel Hester and Jennifer Murray at KJ Smith Solicitors highly enough. From the very beginning, their professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail were outstanding.
They guided me through every step of the process with clear, timely communication, ensuring I always felt informed and supported. Their expertise was evident, and their commitment to achieving the best outcome was unwavering.
Both Bel and Jennifer were always approachable and empathetic, making what could have been a stressful experience much easier to navigate.
I am incredibly grateful for their excellent service and would not hesitate to use their services again.

Divorce Solicitors

Jennifer and Bel were so lovely on the initial consultation regarding my divorce. They put me at ease and made a stressful situation a little calmer. Helped telling me the steps of a divorce and gave guidance. Didnt harrass me when I took months to get back to them to start the proceedings. Have kept me updated along the way. Would recommend if you are going through a divorce and need some solicitor help.

Thank you.

When Covid-19 started I was very worried that I would need to pause my divorce but Eleanor [Towsey] reassured me that we could continue moving forward. Eleanor not only gave me legal advice but also links to websites for domestic abuse and also went a step further by providing me with her personal number if I needed to call her at any point

I am very grateful.

I have felt supported and empowered to make decisions and life changes that I felt unable to do alone without the guidance and legal advice from you [Edward Morton & Avril Trickey]. You have made a very stressful time much easier for me and my children and I am very grateful.

I would definitely recommended KJS.

The whole process from start to finish was very well explained and our meetings and tele-cons made everything very clear. Sam [Archer] was very approachable, no questions or concerns were too small or insignificant.

Great service.

I came to Kulbir Rahi upon recommendation in March 2019, to help me and my children in a complicated family case. I needed a compassionate yet experienced solicitor to advocate for me and finally let the courts hear the voices of myself and my children regarding contact. Kulbir was that advocate. She represented me for over a year, always professional and fully committed to achieving a positive outcome, with the children's best interests always at heart. When Kulbir Rahi moved to legal firm K J Smith in September 2019 I stayed with her due to her integrity, and strong moral compass. K J Smith offered a supportive service, and clearly attract a high calibre of solicitors.

That’s an amazing update and puts my mind at ease, so thank you so much Eleanor for this email and for all your help throughout the process, I would have been lost without your guidance.

Thank you.

As you are aware the recent months have been challenging for me and I am very grateful for your calm, considered and thoughtful advice throughout. Whilst the end of the marriage is sad I feel a sense of peace now and I want to thank you [Kulbir Rahi] for helping me with that.

Arabella Turner at KJ Smith Winchester along with Jessica and and others were excellent at guiding & helping me navigate an extremely difficult divorce process over approx 10-12 months... Arabella is highly experienced, very well connected and delivered on all fronts with her extensive knowledge, professionalism, empathy and importantly in my outcome - certainly this all exceeded my expectation. I would not hesitate to recommend Arabella and her Team to others in the future... Matt

Beth Pettifer and team have been a huge support through a difficult time. A separation is difficult, and the unknown is the scariest part. Beth was always available to answer everything, sometimes over and over again, to help me from the start to finish.

I searched the Internet for a local solicitor to handle a family court case I needed to pursue.

KJ Smith was one that offered an hour free consultation.

I met with a Daniel Norris who was happy for the appointment at relatively short notice.

He was polite, friendly and very professional and during that first consult, I did not see him check his watch once. He engaged with me on multiple levels, taking real interest in my situation and offering me full explanation of how he could help, good advice on steps forward and full availability depending on my budget and requirements.

That first appointment went well over the hour, but he was unfazed by it and was genuine happy to help, whether I employed him or not.

I did not search for competitive rates or cheapest service. I have no idea whether KJ Smith hourly rates are good or bad. That first hour impressed me and I went ahead with engaging him.

This company provided value throughout. They were communicative, prompt and very honest about pricing, expectations and possible outcomes.

I highly recommend this firm. I had the Court outcome I needed, and Daniel’s advice and encouragement led me there.

Thank you to a great team and especially Daniel, without whose first impressions I would not have proceeded further.

I would highly recommend KJ Smith. I was looking for a solicitor to represent me through my divorce and act in the best interest of my children. From the first minute of instruction to the closure, the service provided has been first class. In particular my solicitor Daniel Norris was excellent in providing legal advice and guidance throughout the process. For anyone seeking legal advice, in particular with family and financial law then I cannot recommend KJ Smith highly enough. Thank you.
