Testimonials

I wanted to just say thank you to one of your colleagues Gemma. She is just such a delight to work with. She is very efficient, helpful, polite and has great attention to detail.
I was looking for a solicitor to help with a transfer of equity but no one had the capability to do this before Christmas. I spoke to Gemma and from the start she explained everything clearly, was very lovely with the client too. Updated me all the way through and took time out to draft paperwork the other party should have done. This meant the process was quick and easy. This has taken less than a month - I’m so impressed.

All our mutual clients have spoken very highly of Victoria and I had no hesitation in using her for my own matrimonial affairs which she dealt with in a friendly, approachable yet professional manner. I would not hesitate in recommending Victoria and her team.

Joanne Ramsden

Joanne Ramsden Financial Solutions Ltd

You kept me completely up to date and informed of the process, you always take my calls or I receive a prompt reply or email, clear pricing and your extremely polite approach and professional manner.

As you are aware, I have been in business for 30 plus years and have used various legal services from time to time. We are very happy with your service and pricing, we will be happy to use your services in the future.

Mr John O'Brien

We were initially apprehensive and pessimistic, but from the outset we were put at ease by Michael Slater when he came out to our dental practice, largely by his confident and amicable manner.

We were not given false hope as we felt we had been by the previous solicitors, and his honesty regarding the possible outcomes raised our hopes for the case, of which at that point we had been prepared to stop pursuing.

We were after some compensation, and hardly thought we would achieve a 5 figure sum. To our elation we were not only awarded a 6 figure pay out, but our legal fees were also reimbursed for the trouble we were put through.

All the hard work and patience displayed paid off tremendously. I would highly recommend Michael to anybody who has lost their trust in solicitors, and is searching for a team that will take them seriously.

Chido Svosve

I just wanted to thank KBL Solicitors for all their support with the sale and purchase of our house. Sarah was supportive every step of the way giving honest advice as well as engaging with all parties and taking the stress of moving away from ourselves. As well as being competitively priced the service given was always professional. Again thanks Sarah and the team for your service and support.

Mr John Hooper

Philip Stephenson and Anneka Traynor are very good at keeping you in touch with what is going on and generally shepherding you through the obstacles and unfamiliar processes that are required when selling your business.

I found Philip to be very professional, approachable and able to communicate in terms I could understand. I have to say both Philip and Anneka showed great patience when answering my at times obvious (to them) questions. Make no mistake, as Philip told me at the outset, “You will be pleased when it is completed” and I was!

If you have a choice - I recommend you go with KBL.

Stephen Wall

Corporate & Commercial client

The service received has been excellent, from reception to appointments with Helen Grundy. I would recommend KBL without hesitation.

Mrs Davies

On behalf of my company Bolton’s Wood Investments Limited, I was recommended to contact KBL Solicitors in connection with a re-dress claim. Michael Slater was instrumental in assisting the preparation of the case for the Company and was directly involved with the proceedings throughout.

Suffice to say that without Michael Slater and KBL Solicitors’ involvement, the outcome would have been much less certain.

PMT Italia S p A , Italy

The family solicitors at KBL flex their legal muscles in what are undoubtedly some of the most personal and emotive situations imaginable.

My instructions to KBL arose from a very difficult and regrettable family separation. Not only were KBL utter professionals; they also dealt with the matter compassionately and appropriately at all times and as a result achieved a very good outcome.

Instructing KBL made a difficult set of circumstances easier to deal with and their support and commitment throughout was invaluable.

Mrs Hurst

We were referred to Michael Slater when a problem occurred with the sale of a property that was an essential part of the sale of our company. They advised us on a way forward and travelled to South London to attend a round table meeting where they negotiated a settlement that we were very pleased with.

We found Michael very friendly, helpful and professional throughout the process and we would be happy to recommend him.
