Client quote
My experience with Shoosmiths, in particular my solicitor Mahira Butt, has been excellent. I always felt informed, and that she cared about my case. They went above and beyond, which got me a great result to the case ( a result which I wanted, infact better). She always had what result I wanted on her mind and is a excellent solicitor. I would highly recommend Shoosmiths, and especially Mahira, to anyone and would definitely use again. She is caring, experienced, knowledgeable and easy to deal with, Mahira did everything she could possibly do to make me feel at ease. I would like to say thank you to Shoosmiths and Mahira, for everything they did to get me a great outcome.
