K J Smith Solicitors Reviews 

Sophie was a great help during what was a difficult and emotional process. She remained professional, supportive, and clear in her communication throughout, which made everything feel much more manageable. I really appreciated her guidance and would recommend her to others.

Jasmin Ingram has enabled me to work through a complex and challenging situation, feeling supported throughout the process. Her professionalism, reliability, transparency and understanding deserve a 10/10. I highly recommend her services.

Ms. Kulbir Rahi, Head of Ascot and Richmond, is a very experienced and patient professional combining deep expertise with empathy, ensuring clients feel supported, understood, and safe to navigate difficult times in their life.

Anabel Ellice Has supported me throughout my recent divorce and financial agreements. She has been amazing helping me through one of the most challenging and upsetting times of my life. She helped me navigate what was beyond my own knowledge .
Not only did she support me with her knowledge of the law but most importantly on a personal level. She showed a genuine care and concern for my personal circumstances and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better solicitor to be by my side.
Thankyou Anabel

I honestly cannot begin to express my gratitude enough for the teams kindness , expertise and support through quite frankly one of the most emotional taxing times ive ever experienced. They were not only able to support me during my divorce however were able to place me the hands of trustful umbrella colleagues that could represent me under time pressure circumstances.

If you are going through simular experiences I cannot recommend these solicitors enough! You will be in very safe, highly experienced empathetic hands.

Special thanks to Rahi Kulbir and Karen O'Hara you are wonderful beyond words.

Working with Eva at K J Smith Solicitors was one of the most important decisions I made during the hardest chapter of my life.

My divorce wasn’t just paperwork. It came after years of emotional strain, complex family circumstances, financial uncertainty, and a decade of crisis after crisis. By the time I walked into that first consultation, I wasn’t just navigating a separation — I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying far more than most people could see.

Eva was exceptional.

Professionally, she was calm, clear, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained everything in a way that made me feel informed rather than intimidated. She was strategic when needed, firm when appropriate, and always focused on securing a fair and sensible outcome for me and my children.

But what truly sets Eva apart is how she shows up as a human being.

Divorce is deeply emotional, even when you know it’s the right decision. Eva understood that. She didn’t just handle the legal process — she supported me through it. She listened. She reassured. She steadied me when things felt overwhelming. She never dismissed the emotional weight of what I was carrying, but equally never let me spiral.

At a time when my confidence had been worn down and I was rebuilding my life from the ground up, she treated me with respect, strength, and compassion. I felt safe in her hands — legally and personally.

Because of Eva, I didn’t just finalise a divorce. I stepped into a new chapter with clarity, security, and dignity.

I will always be grateful for her professionalism, her integrity, and the way she supported me not just as a client, but as a woman finding her feet again.

I would recommend her without hesitation.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Arabella Turner, Scott Frazer and Jessica Young at K J Smith Solicitors for their professionalism, dedication and care in handling my family proceedings.

They have demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, clear communication and a calm, structured approach to what can naturally be a complex legal process. Their guidance has been thorough and reassuring, and I have always felt that my matter is being handled with seriousness and respect.

Arabella Turner’s leadership and strategic insight, Scott Frazer’s consistent support and responsiveness, and Jessica Young’s diligence and efficiency have all contributed to a highly professional service. Their ability to explain legal matters clearly and provide steady direction has been invaluable.

I would confidently recommend K J Smith to anyone seeking knowledgeable, supportive and professional family law representation.

Sofie was so helpful throughout a long process. She was very thorough and empathetic during what was a challenging time. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her.

Prompt and efficient service at all times from all the staff we had contact with at K. J. Smith, co.UK

I instructed KJ Smith Solicitors for assistance with a non-molestation order and my divorce and have been very grateful for the support I received. Kulbir Smith was professional, knowledgeable and clear throughout what was a very stressful time.
She explained each step of the process carefully, responded promptly to my questions and handled my case with sensitivity and care. I felt listened to and supported, and I always had confidence that my case was being taken seriously.
I would not hesitate to recommend KJ Smith Solicitors to anyone needing family law advice.

I had a really great consultation call with Amber at KJ Smith Solicitors. She actually listened to what I was saying and seemed genuinely interested, which made such a difference. She explained all the legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand, and she was really clear and empathetic throughout.

Amber answered my questions as well as she could and laid out my options and next steps in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming. Going through a divorce is mentally tough, but after talking to her I felt a lot more confident and a bit lighter about everything.

I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by Kate Evans at KJ Smith Solicitors and would strongly advise avoiding the Oxford branch altogether. Even in urgent situations, there are far better solicitors available locally.

Her case management is non-existent. Her legal knowledge appears largely theoretical, with no meaningful engagement or ability — or willingness — to apply it to the realities of a complex case. She is comfortable producing lengthy but basic emails at £260 + VAT per hour, yet that is essentially all that is offered.

She charged £2,500 to read a court bundle and answer six questions in writing. However, after the initial consultation, I was never offered another in-person meeting, solely because I had not signed a full retainer. Unless you commit thousands more upfront, meaningful engagement appears to be off the table.

To be clear, I can read, write, complete court forms, and conduct legal research myself. What I was paying for was professional guidance, strategic case management, and experienced direction. Instead, I received generic written responses, no discussion, no practical advice, and no sense of ownership of the case.

Overall, the service provided barely qualifies as a professional service at all. With sufficient time, online resources, and the support of AI, the same level of information can be obtained independently. I awarded two stars solely for the effort of drafting lengthy emails. Beyond that, I received no significant value, no support, and no professional engagement.

Excellent communication, empathy and understanding from the start and great service in dealing with the matter

For my divorce proceedings which took upwards of two years, Kulbir Rahi in the Ascot office was invaluable at advising and navigating me through the financial and childcare proceedings. She offered support and advice on the elements that I undertook myself and also kept me up to speed on all things related to the court proceedings. Most importantly to me, she promoted a communications exchange with my ex-wife that was as conflict-free as possible as well as ensuring that the welfare and wellbeing of my children were at the forefront of discussions and considerations. Kulbir was always available for a quick chat for me to run different scenarios/outcomes by and advise accordingly. She really did make one of life's most stressful experiences much easier and 'survivable'.

Excellent Law Office.
KJS Ascot branch dealt with my Divorce application, Consent Order and Pension Annexe.
Very knowledgeable and friendly service. Very helpful with managing the process and costs. Altogether an excellent service.

KJ Smith Solicitors' Ascot office provided outstanding advice during a particularly sensitive time. I required specialist guidance on financial proceedings following my divorce, and Ms. Rahi delivered exactly what I needed - clear legal analysis, practical recommendations, and efficient service throughout.

The advice was thorough yet accessible, allowing me to make informed decisions with confidence. Communication was professional and responsive, and the matter was concluded efficiently. I would not hesitate to recommend their family law services to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I am pleased that I chose Eleanor Tanner as my solicitor for my divorce. She has been highly professional from start to finish and genuinely could not have done anything better. Whilst also demonstrating genuine empathy and understanding throughout the process. Her responses are consistently prompt and her clear communication helped make things more manageable. I have complete confidence that she was acting in my best interest and would highly recommend Eleanor without hesitation.

I had an initial consultation with Rachelle Moore regarding a query as my role as an Executor in a Will and she was amazing! Rachelle provided me with clear, practical and well considered advice explaining terms in a way that was easy to understand. What stood out for me was her empathy and understanding about the situation. I never felt rushed and Rachelle answered all my questions thoroughly (I had a lot), her guidance was reassuring and supremely helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Rachelle to anyone seeking professional, knowledgeable and empathetic legal advice: I will be back soon to ask Rachelle to re write my own Will!

I can only say how despondent and disappointed I was after my appointment. My disappointment was due to the fact that I felt that, given what the solicitor said, a divorce would mean I could come off worse. The solicitor seemed more focused on what my partner would potentially get. I should have known given my initial request for a face to face appointment was ignored and they gave me a telephone appointment and I had to request it again with a response from them that I had asked for a telephone appointment. I’m not convinced they would be working for me either given the above. I gave the solicitor information at the start of the appointment but she didn’t write it down as she asked me a question that showed she hadn’t. This was not a good experience at all and I won’t be going back.

I was so glad I chose Antonia to act for me in my recent divorce and final orders, consummate professional at every turn with sound advice and assistance.
I would not hesitate to Reccomend her services, something I’m immensely grateful for.
Kind regards
Dr L Gilson
