Manak Solicitors Avis 

Fantastic experience with Manak Solicitors. Rosemary Dean and Margaret Akinbode and team were incredibly efficient and professional with excellent communication throughout. Would highly recommend!

Being detained for using my mum’s Freedom Pass over several months was a deeply distressing experience. The realisation of what I had done and the consequences it could bring hit me really hard. A criminal conviction would have ruined my career and possibly even left me without a place to live. At that point, I realised I needed legal help.
Looking back now, I’m incredibly relieved and grateful that I made the decision to instruct Samir Moftah at Manak Solicitors. His support quite literally protected my future. I cannot thank him enough and would strongly urge anyone in a similar situation to seek his help.
From day one, Samir approached my fare evasion case with professionalism and empathy. He was clear, honest, and didn’t sugar-coat anything. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence I provided, he recommended a psychological assessment with Dr Emma Gray, who was both compassionate and insightful in her approach. Her report added crucial context to my case. Once the report was in, Samir and his brilliant Team, Sarah and Holly acted quickly, submitting a Letter of Representations to TFL. Five weeks later, I received the outcome: a formal warning instead of a prosecution.
Words can’t fully express how grateful I am to Samir and his Team. If you’re facing a similar ordeal, don’t panic—reach out to him. Trust Samir to guide you through it and fight for the best possible outcome. Be patient, the process takes time.

My experience with Manak has been professional from the start. They acted as solicitors for the sale of my parents house. They informed us of every step and ensured communication between agencies.

I had an excellent experience with Manak Solicitors. The team were highly professional, clear in their communication, and very understanding of my situation. They guided me through the process with great care and efficiency, which made a difficult matter much easier to manage. I would happily recommend their services.

Samir’s perseverance and courteous character were reassuring throughout the process of an evasion case. He did everything he could to the best of his ability and was realistic about the probabilities of the case, which helped influence the overall successful outcome. I, too, had looked at these reviews and felt confident I would be submitting a positive one after experiencing Manak Solicitors’ legal care, and here I am doing just that. I’d recommend this team to anyone considering their services.

This became a tricky situation which dragged on a bit but my contacts at Manak Solicitors were very helpful and kept me informed until it reached it's satisfactory conclusion.

Manak Solicitors are truly the best. They successfully settled my TFL case outside of court with only six weeks of preparation. From start to finish, they were professional, understanding, and made what could have been a very stressful situation feel completely manageable. I’m so grateful to have found them, I always felt my case was in safe hands.

Sold and purchased a property with Manak’s earlier this year and were very pleased with the service. Arjan and his team are incredibly responsive and work very efficiently to ensure things are moving along. We had a tight deadline to meet before the stamp duty changed and the team really put in the work to make sure our sale was complete which saved us thousands!

We would highly recommend Arjan at Manak who we have found to be the most efficient conveyancing solicitor in our experience over the last 30 years buying and selling property.

I never write reviews but I have to let those who happen to be in need of legal assistance to resolve disputes/ fare evasion/ delay repay claims with Northern Rail know that Samir at Manak Solicitors is your go to man without any doubt.

I came across very positive reviews of Manak Solicitors on the UK rail forum and I am so glad I contacted them. The reviews were 100% legit.

My story in brief:

I contacted Samir at 7.30am on a Saturday morning, he called me back in the next 2 minutes and reassured me that he would settle my delay repay drama with Northern Rail (my fault entirely that I got myself into this mess). I had a zoom meeting with Samir on Monday morning to go through the case and it was successfully settled out of court on Thursday (today).

I can't put it in words how grateful I am to Samir. He has totally delivered what he said he would in just 3 days, even though he didn't promise such a quick turnaround. If you are feeling anxious about your situation with Northern Rail (or any other train company as I believe he deals with all of them), I can highly recommend Samir without hesitation.

We used Manak Solicitors for the sale of our property.
We found their services to be extremely professional and precise.
Particular thanks to George Osman who dealt with all our queries promptly and efficiently.

We were very satisfied with the service, and would definitely use Manak again

Massive thanks for Manak Solicitor team including Liz and Natalie for completion of 2 transactions recently. very smooth operations, providing timely guidance. always a step ahead of solicitors on the other side.

I can’t thank Mr. Samir and his team enough — they are incredibly professional and experienced in handling TFL-related matters, and truly saved my life.

‼️Disappointment with other firms‼️
Before finding Mr. Samir’s firm, I had contacted another law firm, but the experience was extremely disappointing. They asked for my payslip right away, and I suspected they used my income level to decide what kind of service I would get. Because my income was modest, they assigned me a trainee solicitor.

That trainee solicitor started reading my documents only during our paid consultation, reading them word by word without preparation. He didn’t appear experienced, gave no opinions or direction, and the session ended up being a complete waste of my time.

‼️Efficient and professional service‼️
That’s when I decided to look for another firm — and luckily, I found Mr. Samir. I truly feel fortunate to have discovered his firm.

I first reached out on a Saturday, and the experience was excellent from the very beginning. I submitted all the necessary documents through their website, saving me the hassle of back-and-forth emails. I didn’t expect to be contacted the same day, but one of the team members reached out promptly and asked for additional documents. By Monday morning, they had already scheduled a consultation with me for that afternoon.

Throughout the entire process, their responses were always prompt, which made me feel genuinely cared for.

‼️Highly experienced‼️
From the very first consultation to every step afterward, everything was efficient and smooth. Mr. Samir had already reviewed and analyzed all my materials in advance. Thanks to his extensive experience, he quickly identified the key issues in my case and the most effective strategies to deal with them.

‼️Integrity and honesty‼️
Mr. Samir is a lawyer with true integrity. He didn’t try to offer false hope just to earn legal fees. In fact, he told me very honestly that my previous actions (I had written a letter to TFL on my own) had made the situation worse, and that my chances of success were only about 10%. He let me decide whether to proceed and even said he didn’t want to waste my money. That honesty truly impressed me. I still decided to move forward, and I’m glad I did.

‼️Reasonable pricing‼️
The firm offers various service packages at different price points, making it easier for people to choose according to their needs and financial situation.

My advice is: at a critical moment like this, don’t try to cut corners to save money. Many people contact law firms every day, so I didn’t hesitate to choose the fastest service option — and that decision proved to be the right one.

Lastly, I’m also grateful for the mental health expert Mr. Samir recommended. She was kind, patient, and incredibly supportive.

This can happen to anyone, really. I had got off the wrong stop and gone to the train official myself to let them know- I am not so long in the UK, so I assumed the best thing was to go and let them know about the situation. They took my details and I had got an email where they had pulled all my travel history from 1 year ago, asking me my entry and exit points (most of which I didn't remember), as well as some cancelled tickets which for some reason they assumed I travelled on. I went online and got a few recommendations on who to contact. Manak reached out and it was so very seamless from first conversation to settlement email. I really would recommend Samir, and the firm. It's a 4.99 star I am rating them and the only reason I am not giving a full 5 star is for some very minor reason.

A massive thank you to Samir. Through my own naivety, I had been caught fare evading.

I contacted Samir on Saturday afternoon and we were speaking on the Bank Holiday Monday morning. I chose Samir specifically due to the number of exceptional reviews he had and throughout the whole process Samir was nothing short of exceptional. He is clearly very knowledgable in this area, however he was also very empathetic throughout. Samir provided honest assessments, never over-promised and made assurances throughout. He said the process would take around 4 weeks and we were able to settle at around the 3 week mark.

I cannot thank Samir enough for his support and if I ever found myself in need of a solicitor again for other matters (I have very much learnt my lesson here) I wouldn't hesitate to contact him or the wider Manak team.

Dealt with Tanya at the Orpington office. Kept me informed throughout. Very professional. Ensured everything was done to ensure the process was completed in a timely manner. Would highly recommend.

I used Manak for both my sale and purchase and I cannot rate them highly enough. ALL staff were highly professional, efficient, friendly and accessible and ALWAYS responded quickly to my queries and concerns. I felt treated like a person not just another client and this meant a great deal to me. A HUGE thank you to Rosemary, Liz, Natalie, Agota & Rebecca for working so hard for me it is greatly appreciated.

We had a very good service throughout our property sale. We have used Manak previously and always been very happy with them.

Used Manak for recent house purchase and sale. Couldn’t recommend them enough! Natalie deserves a special mention for being so great! Thanks each of you for all your help
