Kingsfords is a long established highly reputable firm providing expertise in many areas of law both to commercial concerns and private individuals. Kingsfords was founded in the mid 1880s by Julius Kingsford and the firm’s development since that time was initially linked to the growth of Ashford and East Kent, but now our clients are based nationally across England and Wales and beyond. Kingsfords has developed both in response to and in anticipation of the needs of our clients and today, with over 50 staff, we are able to provide a wide range of services to both private and commercial clients. We have achieved Lexcel accreditation (a symbol of excellence within the legal profession). In a recent survey, over 99% of clients responding said that they would use our services again.

We had the privilege of dealing with Elizabeth Isaac-Garner to assist us with our wills etc.
We found Elizabeth to be friendly, helpful and made what we thought to be a daunting experience very easy. We also found her easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable.
We would certainly recommend Kingsfords to our friends and family.
Many thanks

Helen has represented me at every court hearing. She is an ultimate professional. The service I have received has been excellent. I received correspondence and documents before anyone else in the case. Helen worked in the evenings and weekends to make sure that this was achievable. Everything was explained and every question answered. She has worked hard for me. I would recommend her.

Helen has represented me in court for a year. The proceedings are now over. She has been extremely professional, nice, courteous and a good explainer. She also has not been biased, which has been helpful as I understand the case from everyone's view point. I would very much recommend her.

Helen was my solicitor. She has been excellent throughout. She has taken the time to make sure that I have understood the court process. She has always been very clear with me, broken down the legal jargon and explained everything to me in a sympathetic way. She has given me sound advice, represented me in court and has had a lot of appointments with me in the office to go through lengthy court documents. I have got the result that I wanted. I would have no doubt recommending Helen to anyone else requiring the services of an excellent family solicitor. Thank you Helen you've been brilliant.

Helen Cojeen and the team at Kingsford helped beyond my expectations, brought in late on a difficult case and yet relieved pressure almost instantly and then made things easy. I felt they understand my requirements and my opinions and kept me updated with all documents and a very helpful summary. I held total confidence Helen Cojeen whom performed swiftly and accurately on my behalf.

We have recently sold our apartment in a French city and asked Kingsfords to provide legal support from the UK. We already knew something about the process, but needed the reassurance of expert advice to oversee the transaction. Marie-Antoinette and Renee were very helpful in providing quick and clear advice both on the French documentation and on the various stages of the sale.

Our solicitor Helen Cojeen was incredibly sensitive and worked hard for us in and outside of court during difficult child care proceedings where my partner and I were assessed as special guardians. We were appreciative that Helen could help us using legal aid and did a great job. We would strongly reccomend working with Helen.

We recently used Kingsfords for the conveyancing for our house and honestly couldn’t be happier. The service we received from Donna Trewerne and Helen Wilson was professional, quick and very efficient . We didn’t feel the need to ‘chase’ them up at all and everything went smoothly. Thank you

Hi Sarah, Make thanks for your glowing feedback about Donna and Helen. We really appreciate it and shall pass this on.

Celia is an exceptional human being, and an incredibly valuable contact to us. She managed the conveyancing when my husband bought his last home, and after many changes on both the buying and selling sides (nothing due to her input) she has helped us across the finish line, and into our new lovely home. Celia is 'on it' - you can trust her completely that every minutiae is considered, and she is so very thorough in her work. She is quite happy to spend time explaining complex legal terminology in layman's terms, and helped us to feel empowered and updated throughout the process. I cannot stress the relief of being in such a safe pair of hands, and we can't thank Celia enough for her efforts and kindness that made such a difference to us.
A representative from Kingsfords Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 17 April, 2025:
Dear Susannah, thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We really do appreciate it.
