Shortlands Solicitors - London

Shefali P.

The director, Shabana Walayat at Shortlands has successfully handled my complex case of domestic abuse since May 2021. I have had justice and success in both - child care arrangement and financial remedy case. Her paralegal Wajiha has been immensely helpful with prompt response always.
Shabana uses her years of experience in family law and she is passionate about her work. She is diligent with eye for details. She has been able to support the psychological needs along with court cases. She chose the right solicitors for both cases and multiple hearings.
I have felt very supported throughout my ordeal.
Shabana worked hard to keep my costs as reasonable as possible. Her firm works smoothly with good transparency.
I would highly recommend Shortlands to anyone going through family court case.

During my initial inquiries looking for a divorce solicitor, I realised that big franchise solicitors were not suitable for me.

I had no idea how to find a good divorce solicitor, but I finally came across Shortlands Solicitors.

I chose Shortlands Solicitors because Shabana and her team, Wajiha and Rouslan, were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry. After my first meeting, Shabana answered all of my questions and covered everything I needed to know. She advised on what the process would be and explained the first steps forward.

From then onwards, they were always quick to respond back to me and kept me updated. They were quick, efficient and kind.

I highly recommend Shabana and her team and I would like to say a big thank you for making sure I had the best possible outcome.

I contacted Shortlands to create a basic will under the WillAid campaign. Wentworth Cecil Gurney explained to me the process and specifics of UK wills, helped me understand how to structure mine, provided detailed guidance and information on every step. I felt supported in the process and that my needs were understood. Wentworth was very responsive, accessible both by phone and e-mail. I definitely recommend his services. Thank you!

I was warmly welcomed by Wajiha, Legal Assistant to Shortlands Solicitor, Shabana Walayat for an initial consultation.
The whole experience with Shabana was comfortable and professional.
Clear, easy to understand relevant questions and explanations were given during the meeting allowing me as much time as I needed.
It was clear to me that I was getting good, sound legal advice.
I left well informed with the information I needed and follow on support if required.

At a very difficult time Shortlands helped with will writing. Shabana Walayat acted quickly to put me in touch with Wentworth Cecil Gurney who was extremely professional but with a very friendly, collaborative approach. Wentworth worked out of normal working hours to ensure every detail was covered. Shortlands will be my first port of call for any future legal work required. Thank you Shabana and a big thank you to Wentworth.

Highly recommended!!Sadly they don’t do legal aid and I wasn't able to go all the way ahead with them...but certainly they helped me soo much! I really think some people might need to use such a professional and outstanding service since the legal aid system doesn't offer such outstanding solicitors!Shout out to Shabana for her competence,professionalism and understanding of my delicate situation and Shout out to Wajiha for her kindness and understanding!
