GOOD Based on 13 reviews Natasha Mungrah-Koria2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seema Kansal has been amazing… I would highly recommend her for child court proceedings… before Seema came along , I went through several barristers but Seema was by far the best in her advice, her preparation, her robustness in court… she got me to the end of my proceedings which have gone on for over 3 yrs!!! And she pushed and pushed to get me the best result… audie2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend Seema to anyone considering a Family Barrister. My experience was very collaborative, empathetic and friendly, something that any customer would need in a stressful situation. I was impressed at how Seema quickly she could assimilate the facts in the case and provide an effective strategy in line with the realities. Seema was not provided with the applicants offer and full particulars until midday Friday before a court date on the following Monday. Even with a very small window of time and making the effort to consult me on a weekend we arrived in court ready. Tessa Welsh2024-06-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Seema Kensal; a top class barrister who helped me finally get a result in my very complex financial remedy, where many others failed, she succeeded. She is sharp, professional, patient, logical, incredibly personable and compassionate. She had my back & I am extremely grateful to Seema. Thank you! Tarak Mekni2024-02-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Barrister Seema Kansal at Fourteen has been an exceptional experience. Seema's expertise and knowledge of the law are truly commendable. She provided thorough guidance and representation throughout my case, ensuring every aspect was meticulously handled. Her professionalism and dedication surpassed my expectations, resulting in a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Seema Kansal to anyone seeking legal assistance. She is undoubtedly an asset to the firm. Meeta Patel2023-09-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Throughout my family court proceedings, Seema Kansal was my rock. She was supportive, kind and empathetic. I felt safe in her hands. She was thorough and picked up on even the smallest relevant details. Her planning and execution in Court were excellent and I couldn’t have asked for more. I actually don’t have the words to describe how grateful I am to her for everything she has done in achieving the best possible outcome for me and my children. Bucks Aesthetics2023-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am unsure about why there are negative reviews on here. My experience was excellent. Dan was an excellent clerk. Quick and efficient. I used Dominic Brazil as Councel for my family proceedings. Particularly good with dealing with unusual aspects of a case. I have used him around 4 times through direct access and every time, he has produced an excellent position statement and I have witnessed excellent advocacy. He genuinely cares and communicates to the client the other side effectively and politely. When I haven’t used him, the case has always fallen due to my initial failings which as I have learned the hard way, is difficult to remedy as judges won’t allow new evidence -even if central to the case. I would recommend that everyone uses a legal professional to complete statements. I found Dominic to be an excellent advocate. Highly intelligent, well spoken and grasps the important points of the case very quickly. I am pleased to say that I have exposed him to northern banter too ;) Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Rosie Dove2023-06-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service provided by Seema Kansal - she has such a personable, understanding and empathic demeanour and I believe this also led to her winning the favour of the judge in court. But make no mistake, she's very strong in court and advocated excellently well for me for our 2 day final hearing. We won the case with everything requested and we even managed to secure a few incredibly rare clauses in the final order. Many thanks to Seema - I couldn't recommend her more highly!! Claudie Paddick2022-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Camini Kumar is outstanding and one of the only barristers in London that I would trust on a complex children act case Jack Faber2022-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent chambers. The clerks are very helpful and Paul has been great from the start. My barrister, Gayan Samarasinghe, couldn't be more helpful, knowledgable, strategic and is truly an excellent choice if you need a barrister specialising in family law. Highly recommended. Monica NB2022-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just to say to all people who they’re read my comment. Barrister Joanna Smith representing me in Court the wrong way and Not the way how I told her, she is unprofessional the way how she represents me in Court she was careless for my case , she didn’t speak too much she was leave another Barrister to talks more than her. I removed her from my case too. She trying to cover her mistake when i was informed the Director Fourteen . She doesn’t know how to deal in cases of Family Law or Children matters .
