What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Family law support, divorce representation and child arrangements work sit at the centre of this London practice, and the feedback attached to those services is consistently warm. Clients describe a team that is compassionate and professional from the first consultation onwards, guiding complex and emotionally difficult matters with clarity and patience. Aminah Karim is named repeatedly for her expertise, her strategic approach and her meticulous preparation, while Fuzhan Abasi, Foujan and Negar are also singled out for being understanding and efficient during divorce proceedings.

One thing mentioned again and again is the speed and reliability of communication, with messages answered promptly and clients kept informed at every stage without needing to chase updates. Several reviewers highlight how thoroughly matters were explained in plain language, free of legal jargon, which helped reduce stress and gave confidence in the outcome.

The drafting of witness evidence and supporting paperwork for a case involving legal aid is described as careful and effective, with Ella praised for her patience and compassion. Child arrangements advice and the handling of sensitive family disputes are other areas that feature in the accounts, and the consistent thread running through them is a combination of technical skill and genuine care for the people represented, with the divorce work in particular leaving clients feeling that their interests were properly protected.

From start to finish, my experience with family first lawyers was outstanding. We were dealing with a really complex and emotionally challenging case, and they guided us through every step with clarity, patience, and genuine care. They took the time to explain everything in plain language, kept us updated throughout, and were always quick to respond whenever we had questions or concerns. It really felt like we were in safe hands the entire way through. Most importantly, they achieved a winning outcome for us, which made a huge difference to our family. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work, professionalism, and dedication. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing strong legal support in a difficult situation. A special personal thank you to Fuzhan and Negar for their exceptional support, kindness, and commitment throughout the entire process — it truly meant a lot to us.

Finding a consultancy firm that genuinely cares about your case and your family’s future is rare, but that’s exactly what we experienced with Family First Lawyers. We had the pleasure of working with Aminah and from the very first consultation, she was compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. She took the time to understand the complexities of our situation, guiding us through each step with professionalism and clarity. What truly set her apart was her unwavering dedication—we never felt like just another case number. Her attention to detail, strategic approach, and deep understanding made all the difference. Thanks to her expertise, we achieved the outcome we had hoped for, and our family’s future in the UK is now secure. I cannot recommend her and/or her team highly enough for anyone facing challenges. They are not just lawyers; they are advocates who truly fight for their clients.

I had an excellent experience with Foujan and Negar, who represented me in my divorce case in London. From the very beginning, they handled my case with exceptional care, precision, and attention to detail. They were extremely thorough and sensitive to every aspect of my situation, which gave me great peace of mind throughout the process. Communication was always fast and reliable. Whenever I messaged them, they responded promptly and never kept me waiting. My case had its own complexities, and as an Iranian client, it also required translation and coordination of various documents. Foujan and Negar took full responsibility for arranging and managing all of these matters themselves, making the process smooth and stress-free for me. Their professionalism, dedication, and constant follow-up truly stood out. I am extremely satisfied with their work and very grateful for their support. I would highly recommend Foujan and Negar to anyone looking for trustworthy, detail-oriented, and highly responsive divorce lawyers in London

I am profoundly grateful to Ella and the whole practice for the support I received under legal aid. Ella — a paralegal — listened with extraordinary patience while I described two decades of abuse at a moment when I felt I had nothing left. She organised and distilled an overwhelming amount of detail into clear, effective witness statements and legal documents, worked long hours thinking through the best approach, and treated me with compassion and professionalism throughout. The result gave me hope and real protection for my children; I truly believe their work saved my life. How do you say thank you for that..?
