THE KINGSLEY SMITH TRUSTEE COMPANY

Boundry disputes take a long time and can leave clients in a panic to switch solicitors.

In a rush to contact solicitors (and potential guidence) Elizabeth Kingsley went out of thier way to briefly hear about our boundry case.

She provided advice and explained why process' are long in general and that switching would cost more financially.

Elizabeth Kingsley was the only honest solicitor that reached out and advised us on the big problems that would happen if we switched lawyers (futher delays and futher financial spendings) whilst other lawfirms were fast to encourage switching and spending.

Her advise was taken and after many months later things were finally finished and completed and resolved :)

If I could, i would absolutely recomend KSLaw for any cases and have them as our solicitors (if you dont have a solicitor)

Nicholas Kingsley Smith

Added to which given very bad advice from a local planning consultant,I did a search and found KSLaw ,
HOW LUCKY WAS I !!!!
After speaking to Elizabeth Kingsley Smith,Nicholas called me .
I explained the very complex issues surrounding my case and at first he wasn’t optimistic,but one by one he broke down all of them ,he is a master at unraveling the nuts and bolts of any legal argument .
Put simply he is exceptionally knowledgeable in all aspects of planning law.
He responds promptly and is very consise and measured,always ahead of the game,steering you in the right direction,his experience is second to none .
Extremely lucky that he was on MY side !
I would not hesitate in giving the highest recommendation to Nicholas Kingsley Smith .
I will be putting the fear of god into the Council,when they realise he will be representing me in the next phase ,Planning !
One really good piece of advice ,when speaking directly to Nicholas
DO NOT interrupt him in mid flow !!!
I look forward to the next chapter …….

Disgusting experience. A complete and utter waste of money.

The entire setup feels designed to extract fees rather than deliver results. Every breath, every phone call, every sentence is chargeable — at eye-watering rates — with very little to show for it. Instead of focusing on winning or progressing the case, the solicitor spent more time arguing, deflecting responsibility, and making sure the blame was placed firmly on the client.

The attitude was rude, dismissive, and frankly unprofessional. Collaboration was non-existent. I introduced experienced planning consultants and architects to assist, and every single one independently reached the same conclusion: unhelpful, combative, and poor value.

What makes this worse is that the service appears to prey on clients who are already under pressure — turning stress into a revenue stream rather than offering genuine legal support.

I am genuinely disgusted at how much time and money was wasted. There is nothing of substance here that justified the fees charged. I would strongly warn anyone considering this firm to look elsewhere.

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service provided by Kingsley Smith Solicitors in dealing with our enforcement notice case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, clarity, and confidence, which immediately put me at ease during what was a very stressful time. Nicholas dealt with our enforcement appeal and was straight talking and to the point.

Their attention to detail, thorough understanding of planning law, and strategic approach made all the difference. They guided me through every step of the process, kept me fully informed, and handled all communication with expertise and efficiency. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, the enforcement notice was successfully dismissed—an outcome I couldn’t be happier with.

I highly recommend Kingsley Smith Solicitors to anyone in need of strong, reliable legal representation. Their commitment, competence, and client-focused approach truly set them apart.

I have to say they are not the cheapest to use but in my experience you get what you pay for.

I recently used Kingsley Smith Solicitors for advice on a settlement agreement and couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Everything was handled efficiently, clearly explained, and I felt supported throughout the process. A special thank you to Chris for his guidance and professionalism — he made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier. I would highly recommend Kingsley Smith Solicitors to anyone needing expert legal support.
