What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

London Family Solicitor draws feedback chiefly from people navigating divorce, failed mediation and difficult family disputes, and their accounts focus on the personal handling of emotionally demanding matters. Natalie is named repeatedly for empathy, composure and close attention to detail, with clients recalling how she adjusted advice when money was tight.

Rachel is credited with balancing firmness and understanding through protracted proceedings, and with pursuing outcomes clients regarded as right, while Kaja is singled out for quick, direct responses on delicate matters, including questions about a German document's standing raised by the Home Office. Shama, Flavia and George are mentioned as patient and supportive well beyond the legal essentials. A recurring theme is the promptness of correspondence and case steps, and the clear guidance offered as matters unfolded.

Long custody battles and domestic violence cases appear, with clients describing the steadiness and encouragement they took from the representation, and suggestions on limiting costs are noted without any hint of grievance. Several reviewers describe the reassurance of being kept informed from first instruction through to resolution, and note that questions were answered without delay. The combination of technical knowledge and human understanding comes up often, particularly where children and safeguarding were central to the case.

Very thoughtful solicitors, with a swift and deep understanding of your case, clear relevant advices and reasonable costs. Natalie and Flavia both looked after my case extremely well which took a lot of pressure off the whole Court Proceedings. I have recommended them to friends and will use their services again should I need to.

I have been a client of London Family Solicitor for several years and cannot thank them enough for their unwavering support. They have guided me through a very difficult and emotional journey involving child custody matters. Throughout this time, Natalie and team has always treated me with compassion, professionalism, and respect. What stood out most was their dedication to protecting my best interests and, more importantly, the wellbeing of my child. They were always available to provide clear advice, explain my options, and give me the confidence to make the right decisions. I never felt alone in the process—they truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported, both legally and personally. I am extremely grateful for their expertise and persistence, which helped me achieve outcomes I never thought possible. I would highly recommend London Family Solicitor to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and highly skilled firm.

My case was long and difficult and Rachel was there all the way. I am forever grateful for her help and her kindness being able to put herself in my shoes. And to make sure I will get what’s right. And if I have my daughter back in my life today is because of her.

I was referred to London Family Solicitors when my divorce mediation failed in 2021. I was introduced to Natalie Friday, who was my family Lawyer. Natalie showed great empathy towards me right from the onset, was very calm throughout and paid attention to details. When she realised I was struggling financially, she did not hesitate in giving advice on how to keep costs to a minimal. Alongside with Flavia Cretu, who was a paralegal, I received an astounding service that made me feel I was their most important Client! They would always pick my calls, respond to my emails and reassure me throughout the process. I even remember a time when Natalie was sending me emails and sending forms to the court on her hospital bed, just so as to meet deadlines!! I am glad I followed their recommendation, which gave me the outcome I was expecting. I couldn't have asked for a better deal. I am so grateful Iand would not hesitate in recommending London Family Solicitors. Thank you Natalie!! Thank you Flavia!

I had the best experience with London family solicitors when they represented me with my divorce settlement case. My solicitor kaja vicknes was truly professional and very competent at all the time we had discussions regarding my case . She is a true asset to her company and because of my best experience I would highly recommended London family solicitors to anyone interested.
