Kingsfords is a long established highly reputable firm providing expertise in many areas of law both to commercial concerns and private individuals. Kingsfords was founded in the mid 1880s by Julius Kingsford and the firm’s development since that time was initially linked to the growth of Ashford and East Kent, but now our clients are based nationally across England and Wales and beyond. Kingsfords has developed both in response to and in anticipation of the needs of our clients and today, with over 50 staff, we are able to provide a wide range of services to both private and commercial clients. We have achieved Lexcel accreditation (a symbol of excellence within the legal profession). In a recent survey, over 99% of clients responding said that they would use our services again.

excellent. I have worked with Helen Cojeen for several years now and have always found her to be excellent - very prompt, efficient and approachable. Helen is well respected amongst colleagues.

Collected on:
After my mother died I needed a solicitor to assist me with a Grant of Probate. I chose Kingsfords solicitors in Ashford and I’m jolly pleased I did!
Marcus Parsons and Michaela Clifford were extremely professional and diligent, keeping me updated with the process. They were also very helpful and always available to answer any questions I might have, which I drew great comfort from knowing I could phone them if I needed to.
I thank them for all their work and would not hesitate to appoint Marcus and his team at Kingsfords if I need a solicitor again.

Helen has been my solicitor for 2 years. A very long time. She has always been the best. She has fought so hard for me against social services. She always put my point across in a professional way that I would not have been able to. She came to visit me in placement. She always worked around me at all hours. I have had countless appointments. She has listened to me ramble for hours. Thank you.

Helen was excellent. In fact she was absolutely perfect. She provided me with a high level of service and represented me in court. She was very good at going through everything with me and providing me with clear advice. She made the legal process a lot easier for me than it could have been. I will recommend her to everyone who requires a family solicitor. I couldn't fault her. I hope that I don't require her services again.

I would like to thank Helen Cojeen for her outstanding commitment to our LA case, Helen exudes experience and professionalism. As a client we have been extremely fortunate to have her by our side in a time full of stress and anxiety. She will be the only solicitor that we use and highly recommended going forward. Helen was fair and transparent in all communication, with a quick turn around often answering emails out of hours. Truly going above and beyond.

Thank you for such a positive feedback Emma. This is genuinely appreciated. We look forward to working with you in the future should any legal need arise.

It has been 44years since our last move so we had no idea of the legal maze we were entering, but with Celia the maze became a straight footpath. There were some bumps and potholes on the way but with Celia on our side the ride was a lot smoother.

Helen has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Helen went above and beyond, providing a better than first class service.
In our case the Local Authorities did not give us time to prepare and gave us documents at 7pm on a Friday night. This was no trouble for Helen who worked tirelessly over the weekend reading these documents and our statements we prepared to make sure she was ready for Monday.
Court is an extremely dark and difficult time, but Helen is the safety blanket that you need. She took the stress right out of the situation. She is highly knowledgeable and efficient.
You need her in your corner!
If Helen if youre able to see this, my wife and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.
A representative from Kingsfords Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 17 March, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Gavin. We're so glad to hear that Helen's dedication and hard work made a positive impact during such a challenging time. Your appreciation means a lot.

Celia is an exceptional human being, and an incredibly valuable contact to us. She managed the conveyancing when my husband bought his last home, and after many changes on both the buying and selling sides (nothing due to her input) she has helped us across the finish line, and into our new lovely home. Celia is 'on it' - you can trust her completely that every minutiae is considered, and she is so very thorough in her work. She is quite happy to spend time explaining complex legal terminology in layman's terms, and helped us to feel empowered and updated throughout the process. I cannot stress the relief of being in such a safe pair of hands, and we can't thank Celia enough for her efforts and kindness that made such a difference to us.

At Kingsfords we pride ourselves on not only being able to advise on specific matters but also to provide that general and pragmatic advice which is so often needed. We have two centrally located Ashford offices, as well as offices in both Cranbrook and Hythe. Our head office is ideally situated being close to the M20 and only a few minutes’ walk to Ashford International Railway Station with its fast links to London.
