Excellent Solicitor

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the team at Scarsdales Solicitors, for their exceptional service and support. From the outset,Shazia was completely honest with me clearly stating that she wouldn't take on my case unless there was a real chance of success,her honesty and transparency was both refreshing and reassuring.
communication was prompt, and the dedication was evident throughout the entire process. Thanks to her expertise and persistence, we achieved a positive outcome.

I’m incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scarsdale Solicitors to anyone looking for straightforward, reliable legal representation.

Thank you again for everything!

Shazia was the best

Scarsdale Solicitors was recommended by google. From the pre assessment and call back from the representative of the firm I felt assured. My free scheduled meeting with Shazia was so helpful and she completely understood all my concerns and answered all my questions. Shazia gave me the advice I needed.
Highly recommend this firm.

After receiving a settlement visa for my family,

I had an incredible journey from the first application, refusal, court appeal and having indefinite leave to remain in the UK scardale was with us step by step as a professional firm. They support me emotionally as no other solicitor can do for you whole team was amazing but Shazia was, is and will be like my friend. She treats me like a family. even I went this morning to visit Scarsdale just to say thank you for being so kind to me. She has been busy to moving her office to the new big place and I am so happy to see her business growing day by day 👏. I just called her in the morning to check is showing available today in the office she answered my call Straight away and confirmed meeting for 15 minutes which is fine for me as I just want to show my excitement and for personally thanks.

Huge thanks to Shazia and her team

I recently contacted Shazia and the Scarsdale team as I had received 2 speeding tickets. Shazia agreed to pick up my case at very short notice. Huge success today as I walked out of court holding onto my driving license. Massive thanks for their hard work and due diligence, I cannot thank them enough, a huge dark cloud has been lifted and I can now move forward again.

Dark clouds lifted.

I honestly cannot thank Shazia enough for her help in dealing with the legal challenges and stress that me and my family have faced in recent months. Shazia has, in the past week, secured a positive, life changing outcome for us, and throughout the process she has been positive and very fair - always upfront and honest.
Her communication is professional and courteous, yet it is obvious that she has her clients' interests at heart right from the outset, which is so reassuring.
If you are thinking about who to turn to when it comes to advice and guidance on legal matters that could seriously impact your life, then I wouldn't look any further than Scarsdale solicitors and Shazia Ali. One hundred percent recommended.

Thank you so much for the legal representation to my Immigration

Today is like a lucky day for me I just have been inform by Shazia Ali I have received an indefinite leave to remain in the UK. I truly want to say thank you shazia she rang me out of hours as it’s Saturday but she seemed excited more than me. Shazia always provided me with friendly and professional advice even though I was sometimes impatient. She valued her client so I always had direct access to Shazia instead of being dealt by her assistant. Scarsdale make my dream come true honestly. My immigration journey was impossible without them as I struggled a lot before entering this office. I do recommend Scarsdale to others regarding immigration as she is efficient in different legal matters. Once again, thank you shazia thank you so much.❤️

Exceptional Service!

I have been working with Scarsdale Solicitors for a considerable amount of time to support me with immigration matters. Their extensive experience and expertise in the field of immigration law have been evident throughout the process, providing me with confidence and peace of mind. Among their exceptional team, Shazia Ali stands out as one of the most professional and approachable solicitors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients' needs make her an invaluable asset to the firm. I am truly grateful for their guidance and support during what can often be a stressful and complicated journey.

Very bad experience. Wrongly advised from the start. Went into more debt because of fees and ended up losing my job my home is next to go. With a pregnant wife to take care of too. Guys don't do what I did by contact first solicitor you come across, reviews can be faked. I have been completely ruined by today's outcome. They have lack of knowledge about transport and regulations and in general. I was even asked for my pregnant wife to take extra shifts at work by a representative from there which is fully unacceptable. My only wish is that I searched around for a full competent firm. Beware guys and avoid.

I'd just like to thank Shazia and the team for delivering a fantastic outcome today. Around 3 months ago I was looking at potentially losing my license for careless driving, failing to stop and failing to report an accident.

After shopping around, I spoke to Shazia who gave me a free video call consultation where she was very professional, understanding and reassuring.

I decided to go ahead and instruct them to represent me and they got to work quickly, building a case and gathering written representations to put before the police. The team (special shout out to Foyin and Dan) kept me up-to-date throughout all of the proceedings.

Today I received news that the original charges have been dropped and the matter can be settled out of court by paying a very small fine with no penalty points.

This is the best result I could've hoped for and I couldn't thank them enough. I can finally move on with my life and put this behind me.

I would highly recommend Scarsdale for driving matters, or any legal matter you may have.

I was referred to Scarsdale Solicitors by a friend for a spouse visa for my son's wife. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Shazia and all her team. The whole process seemed to be so easy as we were guided throughout. Communication was excellent, as well as professional. All required documents were provided promptly and effieciently when they were requested. To our surprise, although the timescale given was three to six months - the visa was granted in less than five weeks. The whole process was stress free. Cannot thank you enough for all you have done. You have made our family very happy. I will definitely recommend Scarsdale solicitors to other friends and family.
