Testimonials

I would like to thank Jane and Lucy personally for all your advice and invaluable experience during my recent divorce. You have made a horrible experience so much more bearable. Your knowledge and advice delivered the best possible outcome and I would highly recommend your practice.

Ms Watt

We have been extremely pleased with your work Berin and found you very informative, approachable and willing to explain the process in understandable terminology. Thank you.

Anne Slater

I couldn't recommend Jane and Lucy in the family team highly enough. From start to finish they have been so professional, understanding of what I wanted and required whilst managing expectations properly in an honest way. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending KBL Solicitors for family matters, so much so we have since instructed KBL to deal with our property purchase.

D. Ashmore

I recently met with Jennifer Cooper at KBL Solicitors to draw up my Will and Lasting Power of Attorney.

From the very first meeting Jenny filled me with confidence, she made me feel completely at ease and took the time to explain everything in a way which was understandable. I really appreciate Jenny’s guidance and reassurance throughout the process, her professionalism has made the whole Will writing experience easy.

I would like to thank Jenny and the team for all their help, advice and patience in providing a truly wonderful service, I’m so pleased I found you and can’t recommend you highly enough.

J. Robertson

Initially I used a different solicitors for my divorce. I was disappointed and not confident to continue with them to the next stage. I switched to Jane's team at KBL and immediately I was pleasantly surprised how easy and completely different my experience has been.

Mr Yorke

We have been working with KBL for over 15 plus years and more recently with Debbie Roberts on the purchase of a commercial property and it truly has been an excellent experience. Debbie has in-depth knowledge of property law and has been a pleasure to deal with, always approachable and contactable, pragmatic and extremely efficient. She was quick to understand our requirements and the need for commerciality, she was very hands-on, proactive and able to keep the deal moving. I cannot recommend Debbie and KBL Solicitors highly enough.

Mr H

Bolton

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for all your help and advice given when drawing up the Lasting Power of Attorney documents and in particular your attention to detail in completing this process.

Mr W Ellard

My experience from start to finish with KBL and Michael Slater was nothing short of exceptional. This is the first time I have ever needed to seek legal advice at this level of complexity or detail. Michael from the initial meeting to the conclusion of the case numerous months later was unbelievable in every area from communication, advice, expertise and knowledge when I was uncertain and feeling anxious. I coined Michael ‘a master chess player’ because on numerous occasions he negotiated things I didn’t think were possible and used his decades of experience in litigation. My company and I will exclusively use Michael and KBL. I can’t recommend them highly enough for the service they offer.

Aaron Thomas

ACT Global Trading Limited

I have recently used KBL solicitors for conveyancing the sale of my property. I have to say Sarah Bell and the team were absolutely brilliant. They were quick to respond to any queries and gave professional advice. The whole transaction went very smoothly and I would highly recommend KBL to anyone.

Deborah Doyle

We were advised to contact KBL Solicitors on a recommendation and have had no regrets in doing so. Right from the initial meeting to the final conclusion we felt confident in the advice and support that we were given. No restrictions were put on the number of times we could contact them to ask questions and all work was completed on time and to pre-stated costs. We have no reservations in recommending KBL Solicitors to anyone needing help and advice.

Mr & Mrs Ogle

Professional and approachable! Detailed explanation of the full process then at each stage explained each procedure. Michael and his PA were fantastic!

Mr & Mrs Lomax

Having had numerous dealings with KBL, for different projects I can honestly say having dealt with Gillian Hindle on a commercial conveyancing basis, the process was outstanding service, never had to chase up sale / purchases of properties & always finalised quickly with exceptional detail. Using this firm especially this lady I know I’m in good hands.

Joanne Hamar

Thanks to all at KBL for supporting me through a horrible time. I have always been met with kindness and friendliness which helps enormously when dealing with an issue that results from a bereavement and a contentious family member. A special thanks to Michael, Maria and Kirsty who have been at the sharp end of this matter. Together, we got across the line!

Cath Christopherson

Thank you so much Gillian! We’re both so grateful for all of your support during this process, you’ve been fantastic at keeping us up to date and doing everything to make sure we hit our end of June deadline - just want to say how happy we both are with the service we’ve had and would definitely recommend you to anyone buying a house.

E. Allison

I’ve dealt with KBL and Debbie Roberts for many years and have always found them to be on the ball. Debbie’s expertise in property law has been vital to my business, she is an excellent communicator, very responsive and always gives me clear, concise advice. The professional relationship I have with KBL is invaluable and I would have no hesitation in recommending KBL to businesses and individuals alike.

You replied promptly to all phone calls or emails and we received the drafts by the date advised, a very professional service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing advice and you will certainly be our first point of contact should we need similar services in the future. Many thanks.

Mr & Mrs Harris

I hereby recommend Michael Slater for the litigation work he provided to resolve the dispute in the matter of a contentious probate. The advice provided, and preparation done by Michael resulted in a satisfactory settlement of a complex and contentious dispute over my aunt’s estate. At all times Michael extended professional courtesy, considered and supportive advice and guidance.

Gill Whitfield

I was introduced to Sarah through a colleague in the physio world. I needed help with some agreements for my self employed staff. Service was efficient and the required agreements sorted quickly and professionally. I am happy to recommend the service and will use KBL again.

Judith Callow

Willaston Physio & Sports Rehab

Although we expressed our appreciation to you for your help and guidance, we wish to formally register our thanks in writing. From the beginning of the transaction to complete the sale of our business premises, Gillian Hindle at KBL was always available to discuss any developments both by phone or email. As matters progressed, and became somewhat stressful, her advice and reassurance was particularly appreciated, leading to the successful conclusion of the sale. In addition, we always felt that our matter was given priority as important individual clients. Thank you once again for your professionalism. We wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending KBL’s services.

Annie Boland CEO

P&A Medical Ltd

I just want to say a massive thank for everything, Sarah and the team have been nothing but professional all the way through. Nothing could have made my experience any better, absolutely first class service, professional kind and caring with fantastic communication. - I will certainly recommend KBL to everyone I know.

Caroline Cox

Greg Gardner-Boyes has been very helpful and honest about my case and the possible outcomes from the start. He understood the issues and provided insightful, expert guidance throughout. I’d have been lost without his skills and can’t thank him enough for his support and backing. Greg is a nice guy, very easy to get on with and I hold his opinions in high regard, especially his insight into how other parties may think and act.

Dave Balbi

Gillian Hindle has worked on several legal matters for me and I have always found her advice to be sound, timely and crystal clear. In addition, she has always been unfailing polite, attentive and readily available. She is both a consummate professional and a delightful individual. She also offers amazingly good value for money!

Martin Patrick

I have used various Solicitors in KBL for many years and not only do they deliver, they do it with great work ethic and customer service. I would have no misgivings recommending their services. I would also personally like to thank Kathryn Maclennan (Insolvency Partner). The service provided has been second to none!

Mr Lowe

We came to KBL with a very complex and difficult issue and Michael Slater provided us both with the energy and belief in the case which enveloped our lives.

Our worry, stress and sleepless nights could well have decided the case but Michael gave us hope and professional skill and analysis. His focus on the issues and facts surrounding those issues was instrumental to our case and without his skill and attention we would not have survived as a family now looking forward.

One more observation, Michael is a caring, approachable and thoroughly nice man. We would not hesitate to recommend him and his very supportive staff.

Melanie and Ken

As a first time seller I found everything straightforward and clearly explained, thanks for making the house sale stress free and no trouble.

Nigel Crompton

I have been instructed regularly by the Litigation Team at KBL on a wide-range of commercial litigation matters.

Led by Mike Slater the team adopts a refreshingly commercial and tactical approach to litigation disputes all designed to identify and achieve as quickly and cost effectively as possible the best outcome for the client making use, as appropriate, of Court and Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Mark Harper KC

A huge thank you to Sarah Sayers for assisting with our house purchase.

Being first time buyers we were anxious and uncertain of the home buying process, Sarah’s response to queries was prompt and we were made to feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

Mr & Mrs Smith

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

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.

Mr & Mrs Underhill

Surrey

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

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.

Nick Kos

Bolton's Wood Investments Ltd

KBL provide a very personal, trustworthy and professional service, each transaction that KBL has dealt with has run smoothly and been hassle free.

Mr Martin Patrick

KBL have been awesome in this legal minefield for all employees left devastated by our sudden redundancy.

Mike Young

Always prepared to listen and work with you as individuals rather than just another client. Very caring approach and always goes over and above. Truly professional approach where things are dealt with in a timely manner, never have to wait or chase for answers.

Thanks for all the effort and time you have put into my employment claim. If ever I am in need of legal help, you and KBL will be my first port of call and I will recommend you going forward.

Bryan Kemp

KBL acted on my behalf during a long and drawn-out divorce. They were very supportive, professional and knowledgeable during the 18-month case and provided me with great reassurance throughout this difficult time.

Mr Hulley

I needed to seek employment law advice - I found the professionalism and understanding approach of KBL amazing, they made the whole process of my settlement offer stress free, cost effective and satisfying. I would recommend them to anyone.

Mr Pilling

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.

Mr F

Preston

KBL have proved to be a valuable asset in helping me manage our rental portfolio. The services that they have provided over the last few years have been invaluable. I have found them to be friendly, accommodating, efficient and professional.

Phil Orme

Landlord

Many thanks again to you both for guiding us through this process and making it as pain-free as possible. I've yet to meet anyone who's been involved with a divorce and had anything good to say about the experience, so I think you can be very proud of the work you have put in!

Mrs Hurst

I had been owed a substantial amount of money by a private individual since 2015. The matter was not straightforward as payment was reliant on the sale of a property which should have had a charge placed on it, but it later transpired that this had not been done. Over the years several unsuccessful attempts had been made by various solicitors to recover the debt. I instructed Paul Formby at KBL Solicitors who prevented a sale taking place without an agreement being reached on the monies due to me and ensured that payment was made on completion of the property sale. Paul grasped the situation very quickly and took immediate action, which was immediately successful, saving me considerable stress and money. Not only was he was very responsive and kept me up me date at all times, he was also extremely professional throughout, whilst at the same time taking the time and trouble to explain everything in a way which made it easy for me to understand. I would not hesitate to use Paul again and indeed to recommend him to both friends and family.

Richard Maxton

KBL provide a fantastic legal service and cost-effective advice. Gillian Hindle and David Johnson deal with our properties, and we have always found them to be quick to respond, professional and reassuring. Their attention to detail and depth of knowledge regarding commercial property law is first class and they are able to complete transactions in a smooth and timely manner.
