Exceptional Advocate: Kate Evans Secured Me 5x the Initial Offer in a Challenging Divorce

I cannot recommend Kate Evans highly enough for her exceptional legal representation during my extremely challenging divorce. What began as a deeply unfair situation with my ex-husband initially offering only £15,000 of our marital assets turned into a successful resolution where I received nearly five times that amount.
Throughout the grueling 15-month process, Kate demonstrated unwavering professionalism and determination. She meticulously built my case, thoroughly investigating our financial circumstances and identifying assets that my ex-husband had attempted to minimize or conceal. Her attention to detail was remarkable.
Kate's strategic approach to negotiations proved invaluable. She knew precisely when to push forward and when patience would yield better results. Her deep knowledge of family law and asset division enabled her to counter my ex-husband's difficult tactics effectively.
What truly sets Kate apart is her combination of legal expertise and genuine empathy. She understood the emotional toll this process was taking and provided steadfast support while maintaining professional boundaries. Her clear communication kept me informed at every stage, explaining complex legal concepts in accessible terms.
Thanks to Kate's skillful advocacy, I secured a fair settlement that properly reflected my contributions to our marriage and provides financial security for my children and our future. In what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging chapters of my life, having Kate as my solicitor made all the difference.

Thank you again Kate for fighting in my corner.

A thoroughly professional approach

A thoroughly professional approach to the execution of my mother’s probate by Rachelle Moore. She was helpful and informative throughout the process. She was also very patient with my many questions and suggestions which were always responded to very promptly.

A draft was made and approved and visited Woodley office for signatures of final document

Expert advice from Eleanor Tanner

I recently engaged the services of Eleanor Tanner based in the Newbury office of K J Smith solicitors.
Seeking advice with my Separation Agreement, at all times I found her answers detailed, comprehensive and thorough.
It felt like 'expert' level advice, exceptional for a young solicitor. At the same time, when clarification was required, Eleanor was also approachable.
Eleanor is a valuable member of the K J Smith team and I recommend both her and the firm.

I initially saw Sofie Corbin for free consultation, to discuss my situation.
I have worked with Sofie now for the last 2years, nothing is ever too much trouble, and she is always happy to explain things if I am unsure of anything.
It is very reassuring to have somebody this competent in your corner.

Excellent

My advice to anyone going through a divorce, would be to ensure that they have a solicitor that they trust to support them during the process. Kulbir Rahi and her team at KJ Smith Solicitors were an amazing support to me throughout my very long, drawn out divorce. At all times their professionalism and guidance was invaluable. Emails and queries were always answered promptly and no question felt too insignificant. I was kept fully informed of progress throughout and I was always able to speak to someone from the team regarding my situation. I could not have wished for better support during this most difficult period of my life. Thank you.

All my proceedings have gone well. I have noticed I had the upper hand on a couple of occasions as the other solicitor we were dealing with didn't notice the finer details. Its reassuring my legal representative knows their area of expertise which is exactly what you want.

Fantastic service

I spoke to Sofie for a free 45 minute consultation regarding some ongoing issues with an absent father to my daughter.
Sofie was extremely helpful and patient. She listened to me and ensured my questions were answered in great depth.
At the moment, I am still deciding whether court is the right thing to do but I would 100% feel comfortable with Sofie representing me in court and will definitely be reaching out to her if and when I decide to take matters further.
Sofie is an asset to the company! Thank you again for all your help and advice.

Emily Wood

Emily Wood, Associate Solicitor for KJSmith Guildford, has been expertly steering me through the choppy waters of my divorce finances.
I have found her to be an astute professional with a calm, self-assured manner.
Emily has been supportive and sensitive to my needs, financial or otherwise, patiently addressing and acknowledging my own suggestions and queries, yet decisive and firm where needed.
Communication with Emily has been incredibly punctual, efficient and informative.
It is reassuring to feel that there is someone out there who will fight my corner and help me see my issue through to its positive end, and Emily is that skilled individual.

Laura Gusatu's Exceptional Service

I recently engaged the services of KJSmith for a child arrangements case, and I cannot speak highly enough of Laura Gusatu. As a father, I initially approached the situation with apprehension, fearing an inherent bias in the court system towards mothers.
However, my experience proved this concern unfounded.

From the outset, Laura was outstanding. She immediately put me at ease with her transparency about the entire process and the associated costs.
Her recommendation of a barrister who matched her thoroughness and professionalism further solidified my confidence. The team worked tirelessly, addressing every question and concern I had with diligence and care.

The outcome was exactly what I hoped for, and I am convinced that it would not have been possible without the exceptional support of Laura and her team. Their efforts have restored my faith in the system, demonstrating that fathers are just as important as mothers in these proceedings. I am immensely grateful to Laura and KJSmith for their dedication and support throughout this journey.
