Beth Pettifer has been nothing short of extraordinary.

During one of the most challenging chapters of my life, Beth was a constant — calm, clear, and unwavering. Never flustered, always composed — like a swan gliding effortlessly across still water, with strength and resolve quietly at work beneath. Where I faltered, Beth held the line. There is a rare quality in Beth — a quiet authority paired with deep humanity — bringing reassurance and strength in equal measure. Even in the most uncertain moments, there was a steadiness that carried me forward. Beth and her remarkable team moved with grace, precision, and unwavering commitment throughout. I will always be profoundly grateful for the way they stood beside me, and for the protection shown to both me and my children. I recommend Beth without hesitation. You could not wish for better guidance.

I had an excellent experience working with Antonia Clarke on my cohabitation agreement.

She was incredibly attentive throughout the entire process, always taking the time to explain things clearly and ensure I felt confident in every decision. What really stood out was her empathy and ability to truly listen. She made me feel heard and understood at every stage, which made a potentially stressful situation feel much more manageable and supported. Her level of experience was evident throughout. she handled negotiations smoothly, and guided everything with professionalism and care. I always felt that my interests were being properly protected. She was also very efficient and thorough, getting everything done to a high standard. I would highly recommend Antonia to anyone needing a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive family lawyer.

I transferred my case to KJSmith Solicitors after feeling very disheartened by my experience with a larger, well known firm, and I am so glad I did.

From the very first contact, Beth Pettifer and Antonia Clarke have been outstanding. They are highly professional, genuinely empathetic and consistently go the extra mile to ensure that I feel informed, supported and respected at every step. All communication has been in writing and always clear, well structured and easy to follow. Their advice is expressed in straightforward, practical terms that make even complex issues easy to understand. Their communication is always prompt and thoughtful, and they handle sensitive matters with remarkable care and attention to detail. Most importantly, they truly listen, something that makes all the difference when you are navigating a challenging time. I can’t thank Beth, Antonia and the wider KJSmith Solicitors team enough for their professionalism, compassion and integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a firm that truly puts clients first.

I decided I should like to have a Cohabitation Agreement for my partner and I. I chose KJS Solicitors as they were very polite and professional on the…

phone and swiftly arranged a meeting time for me to meet with Beth Pettifer. Beth’s knowledge about the Cohabitation Agreement and her calm, professionalism whilst I explained my situation made me feel very respected. The first meeting set the pace for the agreement to get under way with clear instruction on the way forward. Callum Pitfield from KJS Solicitors also attended some of the meetings, Callum was also very professional. The Cohabitation Agreement is now complete and everyone is pleased. I am very impressed with Beth and her team at KJS Solicitors and would highly recommend them. Susan

Review for Antonia Clarke I had the pleasure of working with Antonia Clarke on a prohibited steps order and child arrangements case, and I honestly…

can’t thank her enough for the support and guidance she provided throughout what was a very difficult and emotional process. From the very beginning, she was incredibly personable and approachable, making me feel at ease and confident that my case was in safe hands. She took the time to listen carefully, understand my situation, and explain each step of the legal process clearly, ensuring I always felt informed and supported. Her professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. She handled my case with sensitivity but also with a firm, strategic approach when needed, which gave me great confidence in her representation. What really stood out to me was her genuine care she was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but also compassionate, which made a world of difference during such a stressful time. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, I achieved a positive outcome, and I truly felt she had my and my child’s best interests at heart every step of the way. I would highly recommend Antonia Clarke to anyone seeking dedicated, professional, and empathetic legal support in family matters. She is an exceptional solicitor who goes above and beyond for her clients.
