I rang KS Law to seek legal advice and spoke to Elizabeth, she was extremely supportive and empathetic to my situation and guided me correctly. Would definitely recommend!

I called Kingsley Smith solicitors seeking support for an employment situation, Elizabeth said she could book me in with Chris the following day, that meeting went ahead. Chris was clear and informative, he elaborated on certain aspects of the document that I didn't understand, Chris was amazing from start to finish and I can't thank him and Kingsley Solicitors enough. Highly recommended!

Nicholas was great from start to finish. We enlisted his services in appealing a council enforcement notice which was served on the basis of a planning issue. He fought our case with a thorough knowledge of planning legislation and won the appeal in our favour. Thank you!

Excellent service. Straightforward advice and reasonable fees. We had a business adjacent to our house in breach of their planning permission. Nicholas was able to support us in getting the situation corrected. I highly recommend Kinglsley Smith for good advice and value for money.

Excellent service, highly recommend! I was in the middle of my build, when Planning Enforcement advised my Planning Permission had lapsed. Kingsley Smith provided a quick assessment and gave me me clear advice about my options. They liaised with the Council, which resulted in their decision being overturned, allowing me to continue with Planning Permission confirmed. I couldn't be happier with the service. Kingsley Smith were easy to get hold of, they were open and honest and clear about their pricing.

This is the second time i have used KS and cannot praise them highly enough. After being informed by a local firm that we wouldn't get a Lawful Certificate, I returned to KS who challenged my local Councils views and suffice to say the certificate was issued. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending and will certainly return if any future planning advice is required.

I contacted KS after after a disastrous and expensive experience with a prominent and well-respected Kent planning agency and was delighted with their professionalism and dedication from the outset. Their costs were clear and transparent and they secured an LDC on a barn conversion. I cannot recommend Nicholas and Elizabeth highly enough and will certainly be using them for my ongoing projects.

Prior to contacting Kingsley-Smith, we spent a good few months going back and forth with the planning department unsuccessfully.

Elizabeth and Nicholas both took the time to understand our particular situation and what we were trying to achieve. They then patiently explained to us what our options were so that we could make an informed decision on the best way forward.

I am happy to say that with a single correspondence from Kingsley-Smith, the application was approved and we are now getting our project underway. I would recommend the services of Kingsley-Smith to others, not just because of our successful outcome, but because of the excellent customer service we received which helped us to understand the process and what our options were. Thank you for your time, care and attention.

Kingsley Smith have just produced a contract for my small business. Their service was efficient, friendly, thorough and reasonably priced. I have not had the greatest experience with some other solicitors in the past but Chris was a pleasure to deal with and provided a very flexible and personal approach. I would highly recommend.

Working with the highly efficient and capable team of Nicholas and Elizabeth was very rewarding. They represented my family, provided excellent advice and were clear and quick in their work. When events outside their control caused problems, they worked tirelessly to resolve them. The critical criterion for selecting a lawyer is "will they win?" In our case they did. We cannot recommend them enough for property matters.
