  Shabana Walayat was my lawyer. Her compassion, attention to detail and the highest level of preparation is outstanding. Together with her supporting team they did a magnificent work. I couldn’t wish for a better service and care, in this most difficult time of my life. Thank you with all my heart!

  Wentworth Cecil Gurney has represented me for the past year in a probate dispute. I am incredibly blessed that I have found someone whom has shown empathy, understanding and positivity. Never once has Wentworth failed to support my mental wellbeing in these heart wrenching and distressing times. I am so incredibly blessed to have found such a hungry fighter in the ring defending my every corner, he has left no stone unturned. He is highly intelligent and informative of every directive and avenue of law that is relevant to your case. Wentworth shines light on your dark corners of insecurities of not always understand the legalities of law. He is in it, to win it. It's not about the money, (I would have been charged hundreds more with any other law firm), this firm is all about doing the right thing in supporting you as an Individual and human being. It is their passion, determination and knowledge of Law that you have entrusted them in making the wrongs you have endured to them being successful in achieving the rights you so justly deserve.

  I've used Shortlands on a couple of occasions. I found Wentworth Gurney efficient, meticulous to detail, easy to contact and a pleasure to work with.

  The firm is only interested in your monies not about your case and situation, when it comes to the real work which is personal and unique, they will try to avoid engaging any deeper or resolving in a super effective way unless you are wealthy and generous enough to keep donating your money to their "business". Which is their genuine interest to happily collect your money. There are plenty of supports and legal advice over the U.K. including Oversea complicated cases ( like mine ) that you can reach for, for instance gov.uk, Rights of Women, Advocate and Free Family Representation & Advocacy Project - FFRAP where are truly human cares about your family situation and willing to extend their footage to assist on your case. Which I personally worked with all of these organizations and successfully won all the family cases. Before you sending ridiculous money to a firm like this, think twice and research yourself, don't be fooled by the concept of " money = professionalism " especially you have not received any service yet but being asked to pay a sum in front. Lastly, you are fully entitled to use "legal ombudsman" to retrieve your lost and ask for compensation if you were unfairly charged by this firm.

  I'm delighted to express my appreciation of Wentworth who helped us as a family to prepare our our wills and register lasting powers of attorney for future use in the event of our incapacity. These are not exactly the most cheerful topics to deal with but Wentworth's friendly and humane attirude made the experience less stressful. He explained everything to us in great detail and in a form we non-legal-eagles could understand perfectly and he answered any queries in full. It was a delight to deal with him.

  Alastair Dobbie is an exceptional solicitor who was extremely helpful and insightful throughout the entire process. It was a very stressful time of my life - and his professionalism (not to mention patience) helped immensely. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you, Alastair, for guiding me through from start to finish with such impeccable attention to detail.

  I am immensely grateful to this firm and specifically Wentworth Gurney who quickly grasped the complexity of my probate/multiple marriages case, advice accordingly and wrote a powerful letter for my case. The letter, packed with case laws, formed the foundations of my case. I highly recommend the firm, in particular Wentworth, who advised me well and worked hard for my case.
