Sara is more than just a Solicitor.

When I was at an all-time low and ready to give in she was there for me and gave me the confidence to carry on. I’m so pleased she did and can’t thank her (and her team) enough.

helpful an efficient.

We commissioned KJ Smith to act for my daughter through her divorce and found them to be a superb practice. Samantha Archer acted directly for her, she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, with a very kind and understanding nature that helped no end through what was a stressful time. We have recently instructed the practice again in a Lasting Power of Attorney matter and are confident it will be dealt with in the same helpful and efficient manner.

You [K J Smith Solicitors Private Client team] were very patient throughout the whole process. We took a long time to respond and check the details at various stages.

Professional service.

The professional calm attitude of Sara and her colleagues put me at ease during a really stressful time. Once I had decided on a course of action, things ran smoothly. Correspondence and emails were easy to understand.

Thank you Sara.

Going through a divorce is never easy but Sara Ismail helped us to clearly mediate, understand the process and help us when asked. I felt secure and confident that Sara had our children and both of our interests in the forefront of her mind and helped us to come to an agreement that was right for the whole family

Very friendly staff.

The staff were all very friendly during a difficult time for me. My divorce was not always pleasant but the advice and support I received helped me to buy my ex-partner out of my home and ensure my children and I were stable and happy. Thank you to all the Basingstoke team who helped me through this time.

All the team at K J Smith in Henley were very professional, friendly and helpful. My Solicitor, Samantha Archer, was understanding, calm and approachable. She was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough, providing me with outstanding advice and support through the most stressful time of my life. Thanks so much for your advice, patience and compassion during my lengthy divorce.

I am truly thankful to have found such an incredible firm of Solicitors. At a time when life was most dire, they saved the day for me & my children. I highly recommend Faizah Chaudrhi & Samantha Archer, they have both been flawlessly helpful & attentive, with the most invaluable advice. I felt so at ease & could tell them ANYthing, and I am just SO very thankful for their help & support.

I’d like to thank Manjeet Kaur at KJS for helping me through a very difficult child arrangement order.
There were occasions when my emotions took over leading me down the wrong path and thankfully Manjeet was able to point these out to me objectively. Manjeet at KJS was always professional and pointing towards my child’s welfare rather than anyones ego in this matter.
It was a very challenging time for me; one of the most challenging times if my life, and while I was very worried about the costs and outcome lots of the time it came out good in the end and it was worth it. I could not have done it without her. I’m grateful for all her help. In a very stressful time we need help from professionals like KJS. Their costs were more reasonable compared to other family law firms I researched. They were also ready to assist straight away. Thank you Manjeet at KJS.

KJS were very helpful. They fully explained the legalities of my case and what the options and fees would be. The solicitor, Manjeet Kaur, was very responsive, most e-mails were exchanged the same day, and were followed up with teleconferences and zoom calls when necessary. My dispute was satisfactorily concluded using Mediation, avoiding the costs of a court hearing. Very satisfied with the service and would definitely use them again.

I've been using K J Smith for the past 18 months to deal with my divorce & children's matters & I cannot thank Manjeet enough for her professionalism, caring attitude and her honest and clear approach. She's given me confidence and to have her essentially by my side throughout the whole process was a godsend so thank you!
I'd highly recommend K J Smith.
