I would recommend Dawoods Solicitors to friends and colleagues. Kumari was not only professional and efficient throughout the whole divorce process, her fees were very reasonable, but most of all she was supportive to me during such an emotionally stressful time and I valued this

Mrs R W - wife in divorce and financial settlement

It is a comfort to have an expert who you know will give you the most sensible advice during what can be a very daunting and emotional process. I could not have got through it so well without the friendly and professional support from Kumari and Rosemary

Ms C B - party in dissolution of civil partnership

Throughout a difficult time and complex issues and long drawn out court proceedings Ms Dawood was not only empathetic, but extremely honest and professional, keeping me updated and ensuring that I understood all my options. The result was the best possible outcome for all parties, especially the children. I would not hesitate to recommend Kumari for any family law matters
