“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
