I contacted Aletta Shaw as they seemed like a nice local solicitors firm and once I phoned them my expectations seemed correct. I needed to speak to someone about buying a commercial lease and after speaking to the Efe who deals with them I was confident that they were the right firm for me as they seemed quite knowledgeable and helpful. I needed to get a search from the Land Registry and It appeared that I was unable to get what I needed from the Land Registry website. Efe offered to buy this on my behalf for £24. The following week I phoned and paid for this fee and I assumed it would be a pretty straight forward procedure to obtain the information I needed. However pretty much after this I was left disappointed with the service. Every time I called to chase, Efe was not available, then when I did get hold of ger she informed me that another colleague was now dealing with it. Emilia eventually emailed me the documents however it did not have the information I needed and was not the correct document. I did email back and try to contact Efe but to no avail. Emilia did eventually contact me back and basically said they were doing me a favour and that I hadn't formally instructed them and if I needed more information I needed to pay more and formally instruct them. Which may be the case, however I made it very clear what I needed and therefor they should have either quoted me more or taken the hit and provided me what I asked for. The attitude was not impressive at all. I asked for Efe to call me back, which she did and her attitude was pretty much the same. At the end of the day, I was very specific in what I needed, they did not deliver this, were difficult to contact and then made excuses and made out I was unreasonable! Also I want to mention, it took just one call to the Land Registry to find the information I needed for free! And to think they made me feel like I was asking the world of them and that I was being unreasonable!

I recently seeked the help of Samir at Aletta Shaw, after finding myself potentially facing prosecution for fare evasion. Travelling on the day of a major sporting event, the platforms and trains were packed full of people. I arrived on the platform running late and thought I would be able to purchase a ticket on the train. Due to the volume of people on the train, there was no such opportunity. On arrival at my destination I seeked a way to pay for my travel. Several members of staff pointed me in the direction to purchase a ticket. On arrival, I found myself (along with loads others) being questioning by multiple train staff and transport investigator staff on why I had travelled without a ticket and that I had committed 'fraud'. In despair I had a panic attack; I always had full intention of paying for my travel. In a moment of panic I answered a question incorrectly, stating the wrong station I had travelled from. They conducted a report on me and told me they would be in contact, informing me I could be facing prosecution. A few months and several sleepless nights later I received a letter to provide an opportunity to mitigate the case, if the information was not correct. At this point I contacted Samir. Throughout the case, Samir was reassuring and helpful. He was open and honest about my chances and set my expectations well. Samir responded directly to TIL on my behalf and thankfully my case was dropped on agreement of paying administrative charges. I could not be more grateful. If prosecution took place, I would have lost my job. Samir was brilliant and I would thoroughly recommend him - an expert in this field. Thank you for all your help, Samir.

I would personally like to echo the review of John Lambert, this Law firm was not helpful after given a substantial amount of money to draft me a letter for my ticket evading offence I was left to actually write the body of this letter. I also gave a lot of hard evidence where I feel half of this was not even presented. The solicitor wrote his own letter but to no avail, I still had a pending court case and if anything the communication was pretty poor after a few e-mails only then would I gain a response. The solicitor only was interested in payment really and kept on reminding me of representation at court if needed instead of assuring me that he can actually put forward a case with positive results. I would not recommend these solicitors as you would be wasting your hard earned money. My solicitor was Samir Moftah, I cannot comment on other solicitors there but this was the solicitor who was dealing with my case from start to finish. Samir failed to actually represent me nor did he give me any real legal advice which I could of sought to find myself. I feel really let down by Samir with the extortionate amount of money charged for a letter you would feel it would have some weighting. There are other solicitors who charge a fraction of the price and it was my mistake to even feel Samir would understand the situation I was in all he really cares about was the money I gave him at the start of this process. Conclusion: was not helpful just left me out of pocket. Go to a better solicitor who will give you more value for your money, I read the same reviews about this solicitor before I asked for their services hoping they will do a great job...I was wrong.

Earlier this year I was threatened with prosecution by TfL after in my haste I inadvertently forgot to tap my debit card immediately on boarding one of the new ‘multi-entrance’ routemaster buses. The fact that it was an honest mistake or that there was technically no loss of revenue to TfL as in line with their ‘hopper fare’, this was my second journey within a 1 hour window and I had already paid £1.50 on the first bus I boarded that morning, made no difference. From the tone of TfL’s letter to me, I realised that they were not planning to take this issue lightly and their threat of prosecution was very real – particularly in view of their strict policy which maintains accidents/mistakes are not a valid defence. Realising that my response would make all the difference between maintaining a clean criminal record and almost overnight, being unfairly branded a criminal, risk losing my job, family stability plus a range of opportunities a criminal conviction would prevent me from accessing, I followed my instinct and sought legal advice. I approached Aletta Shaw and was helped by Samir Motfah. After an initial Skype consultation, subsequent letter and follow-up correspondence to TfL, not to mention the agonising wait, I have finally received notification from TfL that there will be no legal action taken against me. To be honest, although it was costly, it was money well spent as I firmly believe I would not have got the result without Samir’s legal advice and experience in these matters. I would definitely recommend Aletta Shaw to anyone else in my position.

I contacted Aleta Shaw Bexleyheath last week for some legal advice. After multiple phone calls and left messages I finally managed to speak to someone. After providing basic details it became clear that Aletta Shaw did not want to help as they continued to say they were to busy without even getting a full understanding of the complaint. I just wanted initial legal advice what I was happy to pay for but the lady kept trying to put off making an appointment. I then requested that I would like to book an appointment with the senior solicitor of the practice only to be informed that she was to busy and as she was on holiday she could take no further business on. I said I was happy to wait until she came less busy. I sent an email requesting an appointment when she returned from holiday. Once again this company didn’t have the courtesy to reply. After leaving it another four days I called the company again and left a message. Once again no call back. When I did finally speak to the senior solicitor she refused a meeting before she had even heard what the case was and then could not explain her reasons why. All in all a totally shocking experience from this company and I would not recommend them to anyone. Incredibly poor service and a total lack of common courtesy. I have given them one star only to be able to post this review but in my opinion they are not even worth that.

I was dismayed one morning when my step-daughter phoned to tell me that she had been stopped for using my Freedom Pass. Dismay turned to anger but after a few days I thought that she had made a stupid mistake and she would just have to pay the fine when it came. It was only much later when I noticed an article in the newspaper that I realised this was something more serious. I googled and top of the list came Alleta Shaw - and Samir Moftah. I made contact. Samir talked me through the processes both good and bad. Despite the cost we decided to go with having Samir represent her. After several Skype calls with my step-daughter and other relevant facts produced, Samir sent off the first representation to TFL Within a week they responded in the negative. Once again Samir was the voice of calm and suggested we obtain letters in mitigation from a further two sources and try again. We did so and happily this second representation proved successful. The whole process was extremely distressing but at all times Samir was kind, positive and considerate. This helped us all enormously. My step-daughter was wrong. She made several bad choices but TFL do not go lightly! I cannot recommend Samir and this company highly enough and would/will gladly use their services again, only the next time it will be concerning other hopefully less stressful matters!

I was stopped for using a freedom pass in February and my life has been in disarray since then but I am writing this to give you hope to trust this firm if you have a TFL fare evasion case. I used my dads freedom pass for a number of months just because I was not making enough money and was helping my family out. I understand what I did was wrong but in all honesty I never thought that it could lead to a criminal record and thought if I got caught it would be a penalty. Anyhow I did get caught and was threatened that I could get prosecuted. I am planning on being a speech and language therapist so the thought of losing the chance to pursue my dreams had me severely depressed. I went with this firm mainly because it has good reviews but I was unsure. I had to pay upfront before a consultation which I obviously found strange at first, but so worth it now. Anyway I saw Samir, he told me about the aggravating factors of my case but also my mitigating circumstances. My letter was sent out yesterday and today I have out of court settlement. Emilia handled my case when Samir was on holiday and she is a lovely person and so prompt with answering emails and just overall has a kind and supportive demeanour. Thank you Emilia and Samir. You have saved me.

  • Faraz Ahmed

I would recommend Aletta Shaw solicitors to ANYONE with a problem - in particular SAMIR MOFTAH who dealt with my TFL case. My situation was worsened in dealing with another solicitor previously in relation to a TFL fare evasion matter. The previous solicitors has pretty much given up after a response from TFL but then we approached ALLETA SHAW- Samir Moftah. After just 1 meeting he had given me confidence through a clear and practical plan of how we can approach the case. I was very worried and couldn’t think straight but he helped me along the way by always being there for any questions. Absolute legend in my and my family’s eyes !!! The one advice I will tell everyone is - FOLLOW WHAT HE SAYS. Trust me he knows what to do. He’s pretty much saved me with 1 day to go to court with a formal warning from the TFL. Emilia was fantastic too with always being there on the other end of the phone to answer any questions and assured me the case is being taken of. Tfl case went on for 6 months but Samir and his team managed to turn around the prosecution decision with 24 hrs to go to court. Thanks Aletta Shaw for saving my future. Will always be indebted to your help.

  • B S

I recommend Samir Moftah for all fare evasion matters - he is the best solicitor for this. I had a problem with TfL regarding fare evasion for using a freedom pass that wasn’t mine. My case was very difficult and there was a very high chance that I would lose my job. I had many sleepless nights and I was going through a tough time. I spoke to several lawyers that I found online that were money-hungry, gave me zero hope and they had no idea what they were doing. We had a meeting with Samir and he was very honest and dealt with my case with confidence. He gave us all the information we needed and was very transparent. I trusted his decisions because I know he is the most experienced solicitor in fare evasion matters. He was supportive throughout the whole case. He answered calls and emails promptly when I had questions. We finally received a response from TfL agreeing on an out of court settlement. I would like to thank Samir for all his support - there are no words that can do him justice. If you are facing a similar problem please don’t waste any time and contact Samir at Aletta Shaw.

  • Mr Cohen

I was recently threatened with prosecution by TFL (Transport for London) for fare evasion on the Underground. The consequences of a successful prosecution would have been devastating to me and my career. I contacted Samir Moftah at Aletta Shaw and instructed him to deal with my case. Within two weeks of contacting them, Aletta Shaw secured an out of court settlement with TFL on my behalf. This meant no attendance at court and no criminal conviction. I was extremely impressed with the way Aletta Shaw handled matters on my behalf. They were friendly, professional and had a thorough knowledge of the relevant law as it applied to my case. They also had a good working relationship with case handlers at TFL. The episode with TFL was incredibly distressing, and Aletta Shaw helped me resolve matters and get my life back. Highly recommended!

  • Mac E.

I had inadvertently got into trouble with the law after being duped to buy an oyster card illegitimately. TFL accused me for Fare Evasion, which is a crime and you risk a criminal conviction. I desperately tried to contact several legal firms, but none of them accepted my case as they said TFL is very difficult to deal with especially for fare evasion. Ms. Emilia Aletta at Aletta Shaw Solicitors accepted my case and she travelled from her office to their another office (they have 3 offices) which is closer and easier for me to have meeting and consultation. At the end she managed to help me to withdraw my case from the court. I got a formal warning. I am so happy with them, she is professional, supportive and had a good communication with me. I really appreciate it.

  • Adeola Amphlett

I contacted AlettaShaw via their website after receiving a summons from TFL for irregular travel, Samir got in touch quite quickly and after a consultation I left it to him, he explained the process and his success rate of reaching an out of court settlement, he was supportive and reassuring however I was a bag a nerves because I was not as optimistic as it took me a while to obtain some of the documents he required, 2 days before I had to enter a plea he obtained an out of court settlement. This was a very distressing time for me, TFL are very heavy handed dealing with these incidents, they scare you into paying them. Samir thank you very much for your support and assistance in reaching this settlement with TFL.

  • Keith Roberts Roberts

Aletta Shaw - a professional legal company, whom I have no hesitation in recommending. I used their services to sell my freehold property in Chislehurst, and again using their services to purchase leasehold property in North London. Selling your property can be stressful, however my legal representatives made this transaction relatively easy and stress-less. Special mention to Sue Carey and Efe Ejaife. I would also like to mention they are professional, friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. They are easily contactable, and respond to questions without delay. Thank you for all your help, I will when necessary use your other services as and when needed.- Keith Legal Fee's are reasonable also.

  • benjamingriffin7777

I was stopped using someone else's freedom pass which I had been doing for a while not knowing the seriousness of my action and was about to be prosecuted by TFL and most probably getting a criminal record affecting my future. I contacted a few solicitors and after a quick conversation with Samir Moftah decided to go with Aletta Shaw, I was not disappointed at all. Samir with his knowledge and contacts got me out of trouble when I looked dead and buried. Since I shopped around before choosing Samir I can easily say that the price I was charged by Aletta Shaw was by far the cheapest and clearest, there was no hidden cost like with some other firms. I highly recommend Aletta Shaw.

  • H S

I strongly recommend Aletta Shaw, especially Mr Samir Moftah. He is a great solicitor and is very clever. We had a problem with TFL. The case was difficult and we thought there was no way out, then we met Samir and he was honest and spoke to us about the case very clearly, we went through a worrying time. Finally, we received an answer from TFL to resolve it out of court sattelment. Mr Samir Moftah, thank you very much for all your help, we are truly indebted to you for life you gave us all the advice and was not pushy/forceful like other solicitors. I suggest anyone with a TfL problem not to waste their time and just go to Samir and listen very well to all his advice.

  • Gaston Lamarque

Four months ago, our mother passed away and we approached Aletta Shaw to help with the probate process and contacting the banks, utility companies etc whilst we were handling the funeral arrangements. Katrina helped the family through the process and we are now in the final stages of completion once our mothers property has been sold. Because of the professional approach, support and clearly explaining the costs involved, we will also use Alleta Shaw for the Conveyancing. On behalf of my brothers and I, a big thanks to Katrina and the team, we appreciate your support. Highly recommended and trustworthy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Ann “Bungyann” Chap

We approached Aletta Shaw a few days after losing a possession hearing due to being given wrong advice by our insurers when serving Section 8. We were seen by Samir within 2 days of our call and found him to be direct and precise in formulating information and very clear in his advice. This was a very stressful time for us and a counterclaim was lodged by the tenant a few day's before the court hearing. We were represented by a Barrister in court, appointed by Samir, who we would highly recommend. Delighted to say we now have our property back and would recommend the services of Aletta Shaw.

  • Patricia Rowland

Patricia Lyon. I think we all try to avoid solicitors as best we can. Generally because we think we will be spending too much money. This was not the case with Aletta Shaw everything was outlined at the start and explained thoroughly. To say I have been very lucky to have found Luke Dixon is an understatement I could not have wanted a more polite and friendly young man to help me through a very difficult time. I like the fact that Aletta Shaw are local and we should all help our local businesses. I will most certainly use them again and recommend them to you reading and my friend.

  • Ian Honeysett

Appallingly slow service, Nearly two years since my Uncle passed and still a simple estate with no contests or queries. Still unresolved. I did not hire them, was hired by the trustee. As a beneficiary Im now being fobbed off and I believe I have been given false "advice". I was basically told you are not our client go away stop asking for this to be resolved. Apparently it is illegal for me to contact the tax office regarding my Uncle's estate. If I had the option of 0 stars I'd give it. I can see that they are only responding to positive reviews. THAT alone speaks volumes.

  • Hiren Patel

I would recommend Aletta Shaw solicitors to ANYONE with a problem - in particular SAMIR MOFTAH who dealt with my TFL case on mu daughters behalf. We had one initial consultation between him, myself and my daughter to gain a background into the transgression and the next day he contacted me to say my case was resolved and was not going to proceed to court. I ended up paying a reasonable fine and my daughter escaped a criminal record which was the best outcome I could hope for. Thank you Samir for all your help getting the case resolved so quickly and painlessly

  • Yana Andreyeva

I was going to be prosecuted by Southern for fare evasion. After some research I decided to get legal representation and contacted Samir. Throughout the process he was calm, professional and very supportive. Samir clearly explained the law and all steps we were going to take in case of negative response from the rail company. Finally 3 weeks later southern agreed to out of court settlement.I was so relieved and extremely pleased that I can have my life back on track. A big thank you to Samir and certainly highly recommend if you are in a similar situation.

  • Nicki Hutchins

I felt like the luckiest person to have chosen this company. My solicitor was Samir Moftah. He was attentive to every detail and extremely insightful and kind. He employed Kate Chidgey of 3 Temple Gardens on my behalf to be the barrister at the court hearing. She was brilliant and a splendid person also. The team looked after me royally at a difficult time and secured a positive result in a slightly tricky case. I highly recommend Aletta Shaw and Kate Chidgey of 3 Temple Gardens. My deepest thanks go to the team there.

  • Giuseppe Vecchio

Samir and team at Aletta Shaw have provided me with an outstanding service. Samir is professional, positive, approachable, calm, nolegiable and most importantly he takes his job very seriously with passion and helps you through that long process also with moral support that gives you the energy to carry on. He managed to turn my very difficult case arrownd and achieve a settlement. I highly recommend Samir at Aletta Shaw to everyone. We will never stop thanking you for saving our lives. God bless you.

  • Dhruve Patel

I would highly recommend Aletta Shaw and in particular Samir Moftah. He dealt with my case in a calm and professional way and was transparent about the process from the beginning. Within 2 weeks I had received a letter to say that the case would be settled out of court. He does not judge you and makes sure he does everything he can to help you. I would highly recommend Samir and Aletta Shaw if you have a train evasion issue as you will be going to someone who will make sure to put 100% into your case.

  • Nate P

While in my current predicament I have wasted money on other law firms, who only seemed only interested in debiting my bank account while offering a substandard service, like waiting four weeks for the other firm to draft a letter for me!!! Aletta Shaw solicitors, particularly Mr Smair Moftah have been on point from the get go. I am now in a better place and am I track to reach a better place with the professional service I have been provided. I could not contemplate using another law firm.

  • Roberta Corinaldesi

Aletta Shaw Solicitors offered an outstanding service with the purchase of a house. The whole team, and in particular Efe, Sue and Emilia are very helpful and always explained to us each step of the process. Thanks to their exceptional attention to details we were able to choose with confidence how we wanted to proceed across complex issues related to the property. We would highly recommend Aletta Shaw Solicitors, and we will definitely use their property services next time.

  • Lewis England

I recently had a Fare evasion case with TFL which was extremely worrying for me and could have led to criminal conviction and ruined many aspect of live and lost me my job. Thanks to Samir for working very quickly and building the case for me and supplying a excellent barrister i was able to secure a out of court settlement and lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. Anybody going through something similar I would highly recommend Samir and his Team the service was excellent.

  • Maryam F

Aletta Shaw managed to get a result for us in a very speedy manner. An out of court settlement was achieved very quickly. The representative, Samir Moftah was very good and attentive, and supported us throughout the whole process. He was always available and gave us advice on the phone. We have no hesitation in recommending Aletta Shaw as an excellent firm who can deliver quick results. Also their price was transparent from day one and a lot cheaper compared to other firms.

  • Keith Ross

I would just like to say a big thank you too Quang Huynh ( Petts Wood branch of Aletta Shaw) and all the hard work you put in to my case. Your professionalism and quick response were first class.I felt that I could certainly rely on you. Many times I came away from your office knowing I had the right person for the job, which helped me through the uncertain times. I will certainly recommend your services. I can now move forward with my life. Again I cannot thank you enough.

  • John Smith

Unhappy! Would not recommend to anyone. Seemed more interested in my money than providing a good service. Spent half my consultation taking about charges and tried to charge me for more time HALF WAY THROUGH the consultation! They were quick to prepare documents but I did not find the work completed to a satisfactory standard. They weren't great on the details. Won't go into too much here as it was a personal matter but I would not use them again or recommend them.

  • Andrew Smith

I can highly recommend Aletta Shaw and Samir Moftah in particular. Samir was extremely sympathetic and reassuring during the initial consultation whilst giving a detailed and frank outline of of the potential outcomes of my case with Transport Investigations Ltd. A very professional service was provided and I was kept up to date with proceedings. An out of court settlement was reached (much quicker than I expected) and for that I am extremely grateful.

  • Kevin McCarthy

To whom it may concern: Deidre Barnes (Chartered Legal Executive) and Katrina Reid (Legal Assistant) were found to be extremely friendly and professional in handling our late mother's probate. One could not have asked for more and I would thus have no issue with giving the 'Wills and Probate Department' my highest recommendation. It should also be added that I found their fee structure to be highly favourable when compared to other local solicitors.

  • Rod Oates

A really professional organisation. Emilia was fantastic, reassuring and always on the end of a phone when I needed her. She was incredibly patient with me during an extraordinary stressful time. Her professionalism and dedication ensured a great outcome. I would highly recommend using this firm if you need professional legal help. Thank you again Emilia I do not think the outcome would have been as positive if I hadn’t used her legal services.

  • Glenn Southam

I used Aletta Shaw to represent me on the sale of my house and the purchase of a new property. It wasn't the most simple of processes. We had to abort one purchase and start a new one amongst several other challenges. Brooke and Sheryl in particular, were brilliant at keeping things moving, keeping me up-to-date and always answering questions in a timely manner. If you need conveyancing then you won't go far wrong by instructing Aletta Shaw.

  • Stephanie Jarosova

I highly recommend Aletta Shaw, and particularly Samir who I worked with directly. I was in a difficult employment situation and previous solicitors seemed more intent on figuring out how to make money from me rather than on what would be best for me. Samir took time to listen and understand and seemed to genuinely to have my best interests at heart. I would definitely use this firm again and recommend them to others.

  • Jesan Kamal

I would highly recommend Aletta Shaw to someone who is looking for representation with TFL cases. Samir Moftah is an excellent lawyer. He is calm, collected, will listen to you and always there to provide you with support. If your situation is quite bleak don't worry just get in touch with him. He can get a positive result out from a dire situation. They are very upfront about costs and worth every penny.

  • Heather Moore

Simply excellent. I used Aletta Shaw for both estate agent and solicitor for my flat sale. Michael and Brooke found me a buyer really quickly, kept me informed every step of the way throughout the legal process and put the sale through as quickly as possible. The team is also very responsive, I received a response the pretty much same day for every query. I wouldn't hesitate to use Aletta Shaw again.

  • Jonathan

Aletta Shaw had been very professional and helpful in handling my case. I was able to explain my issue through Skype and I got clear explanation of my rights and made clear plans quickly to resolve the issue. I was able to contact my solicitor at anytime after consultation and through their helpful advice and representation, the charge against me was droped. I would strongly recommend their service.

  • Dan

Samir, thank you for handling my case in a professional and efficient manner. Samir agreed to handle my Employment Law case on short notice and continued a friendly and professional disposition throughout the entire process. He is very competent in this area of Law and others also and my case was concluded positively. He would be my first port of call in the future. Many thanks Samir. Dan :)

  • DAVID GIBSON

My son was looked after by Samir who was excellent after a very difficult divorce and child arrangements in particular.There were many court appearances and was represented very good indeed.It has taken almost 2.5 years .But we got there.Without Samir we could not have done it and got the result.The finnace budget was clear and precise and did not go over it.Well Done Samir and Aletta Shaw .

  • Patience

I came in to the Bexleyheath branch of this firm for a statutory declaration my work place needed. The lady lawyer was polite and asked to see ID and the declaration,then she witnessed me signing it and put a stamp.Best bit it cost only £5. The office environment is clean and very calming and they reply to email enquires quickly. ild definitely use them when i need legal representation.

  • Anji Petersen

I am very happy with services provided by Aletta Shaw. I have used them for conveyancing matters three times now and they are currently dealing with a property purchase for me. They are friendly, easy to get in touch with on the phone and email. I have found their prices are competitive and they explain legal matters in clear, jargon-free language. I would highly recommend them.

  • Lucy Martin

Cannot recommend Aletta Shaw Solicitors more highly. I had made what I felt was a genuine mistake with a train ticket and was going to be prosecuted, which would have impacted my job and my hopes to emigrate abroad. The speed in which they sorted the matter out was fantastic and I can't thank them enough. Anyone seeking legal advice on fare evasion look no further!

  • George McCarthy

I used Alleta Shaw because of the impressive reviews on google. Samir lead my case to whom I instantly fealt confidence in from the initial consultation. He had an exceptional barrister (Andrew Horsell) meet me at my first case hearing who again gave me great advice that granted me a better outcome that was ever initially expected. Thank you Alleta Shaw!

  • Jim Graham

I have used Aletta Shaw's property service twice and on both occasions - and I have used other solicitors in buying and selling houses - I have had an excellent service: good communications, efficient handling of and timely execution of paperwork etc and an reassuring understanding of property law where problems have arisen. Highly recommended.

  • Ash C

I was recommended to Alleta Shaw through a friend who had also used their services. I found Samir to be very professional, making Skype calls to me as I was unable to attend in person due to my disability. The advice he gave was first rate and was always available when I had further questions. I would definitely recommend Alleta Shaw and Samir.

  • Keke Edordu

Excellent service from start to finish. My wife and I are first time buyers and this transaction couldn't have gone smoother. We had bumps on the road from the seller's side but our solicitors were relentless in getting us over the finish line. They were recommended by a friend and I would highly recommend them as well. Thanks for everything.

  • Chris Duncan

Our recent move was handled by Brooke and Jordan. They were both friendly, efficient and professional, keeping us informed of developments in a timely fashion. When the vendor's solicitor proved to be unreliable and anything but professional, Brooke and Jordan persevered to get the deal done. Great service, highly recommended.

  • Denise Allen

I was recommended to Aletta Shaw by a family member who had used them previously and I received excellent service. I needed a very quick turn around for an employment issue and only had a few days to finalise. The team were very professional, gave good advice and completed in the required time. I would use again and recommend.

  • Koya Rose

The worst firm in terms of customer service and respect. I've worked with solicitors for over 6 years and have never had someone hang up the phone on me. I called back to speak to a manger about the way I was treated and was told no one was available to take my calls. The gentlemen I spoke with was abrupt dismissive and rude.

  • Luz Stella Facey

Aletta Shaw solicitors are very helpful , from the receptionist to the top management. I found them very reliable, professional, and good value. Soniya was always ready to deal with any issue during the sale of our property and made sure everything was understood , making the process less stressful. .I highly recommend them.

  • Paul Moynihan

I received a summons after a ticket misunderstanding with South West Trains. I contacted Samir at Aletta Shaw on Thursday, by the following Tuesday he'd negotiated a very good settlement for me. I couldn't recommend his services highly enough. Throughout my dealings with him he was courteous, professional and understanding.

I would highly recommend Aletta Shaw particularly Samir Moftar, who took on my TfL case. He was calm, professional, approachable and positive. With his help I received an out of court settlement which basically saved my life! From day 1 of my contact with Aletta Shaw the service I received was fantastic and swift. 10/10!!!

  • Ace 23

I would not recommend. I was not informed of restrictive covenants on the property I purchased. They also took 4 months instead of the 6 weeks they promised to complete. I'm still waiting for my questions about the covenants to be answered 3.5 months after asking them. I've sent follow up emails but I am being ignored.
