Surjit Verdi has represented me for the last 5 years and will always be my first choice should I need representation again. She is warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Ms. P, Essex

Mrs P, Essex

"I saw Surjit Verdi for legal advice regarding a house sale and she was extremely helpful and explained everything in detail, would definitely use again."

Ms H, Essex

"She was very professional and patient as there was lots I didn't understand."

Mr D, Essex

"It does not really need to be said that Surjit Verdi is completely on top of family law detail. Surjit is a very smart and exceptional problem solver, who is also clear about what can and what is unlikely to be achieved. I would unreservedly recommend her as solicitor for somebody like myself who did not have the first idea of what the process involved or what the implications could be. I feel fortunate that she was my legal representative at this time."
