Very professional and honest firm. Shaf is a total genius, very knowledgeable and straight forward. I received a wealth of information and advice in the initial free consult which I was totally surprised by and not really expecting. Five stars all round for AY solicitors in Ealing.

I usually don't write reviews on Google, but was compelled to recognise the exceptional level of service I experienced with A Y Solicitors. They turned an almost impossible case into a flying victory; with a personalised level of service which made me feel like I was their only client. The constant advice, personalised care, and an impeccable attention to detail has convinced me that they're the best firm in the London area. I'd like to mention that I was represented by Shaf. This man is a hard worker (working till 3am at times!), yet also quite soft spoken - but firm - in and outside the courtroom

From the day I needed AY Solicitors, they were there for me. On a personal level they were extremely supportive as well as being totally honest and managing my expectations every step of the way. Very professional services provided by a highly experienced solicitor. If you are in need of legal support for anything family related I highly recommend AY Solicitors.
