Outstanding Solicitors - Sharon and Oliver

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sharon and Oliver on a complex private children proceeding, followed by a successful application for a specific issue order to relocate to another country. I couldn't be more grateful for their exceptional assistance and support throughout these processes.

From the very beginning, Sharon and Oliver demonstrated a profound understanding of the legal intricacies involved in my case. They meticulously explained every step, ensuring I was always informed and comfortable with the proceedings. Their ability to break down complex legal jargon into understandable terms was truly remarkable and greatly appreciated.

Communication was one of their strongest suits. Sharon and Oliver were always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how trivial they might have seemed. Their responsiveness and clarity in communication were instrumental in alleviating my anxieties and making me feel supported throughout.

The level of personal care and attention Sharon and Oliver provided was fantastic. They were not just concerned with the legal aspects of my case, but also genuinely cared about my wellbeing. This holistic approach made a significant difference, ensuring that I felt supported not only legally but also emotionally.

The quick turnaround and successful approval of the specific issue order were a testament to their efficiency and expertise. Sharon and Oliver worked diligently to ensure everything was in order, leading to a smooth and favourable outcome.

In summary, Sharon and Oliver were outstanding solicitors. Their professional competence, excellent communication skills, and compassionate support made a challenging time in my life much more manageable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance in family matters. They are truly a remarkable team!

Excellent service

I employed Hassan Dervish to be my solicitor in a rather long winded case between myself and the freeholders of a flat I own in a dispute against a roof replacement and damp issue. From the beginning Hassan made me feel confident and relaxed with his friendly but professional ways, which I very much appreciated as I have not had any experience with the justice system or court befure He was always there to reassure me when I rang with a query, prompt to respond to my emails and gave me excellent advice at a reasonable hourly rate. As such, my case was eventually settled out of court at an amount I am satisfied with. I would not hesitate to recommend Hassan to anyone who needs a solicitor for litigation and tenant/landlord disputes. I really could not fault his service. Thank you Hassan!

The whole process was very easy and we managed to obtain the extension of the visa within 2 days of the appointment. Anmol and Vicash are very helpful, efficient, friendly and very approachable for any advice. Anmol took over our case and she really did very well, all documents, application and paperwork were thoroughly reviewed and submitted on the right time. Thank you both for the hard work.

Mr Vicash Ramkissoon, the Director, has professionally supported me with sound legal knowledge on different matters multiple times. If the case was not compatable with his experise, he would help to liaise with colleagues who are in the area to help me. He has been in touch in time in emails or on the phone once I need his help, even I was out of the country, which I really appreciate. I strongly recommended him.
