Lawstop Avis 

Sameera made a stressful situation feel effortless. Calm, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout, fantastic service from start to finish.

Everything want on well. I love 💕 the communication and the time the Lawyer spent with me during my case. People around me was asking and wishing for the Lawyer to be their immigration lawyer. The Lawyer is very good, he will have time to explain and make sure everything is well with you. Everything was excellent!!!

I had an excellent experience with Lawstop.
Carla Silvi was extremely professional, supportive and attentive throughout my case.
She took the time to explain everything clearly and always kept me informed at every stage.
Her dedication and commitment gave me confidence during a very stressful time.
I am truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend Lawstop to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I can’t express how grateful I am for Sameara Maqbool. She didn’t just represent me in my housing case—she fought relentlessly for my rights. Beyond that, she was a pillar of emotional support. In every step of the process, she was there—a true lifesaver. She is not just an exceptional solicitor; she’s a genuinely kind and capable person. I can’t recommend her enough. I cant thank enough for the support i was provided by her and the firm.

I would like to sincerely thank the education team at Lawstop for their outstanding support throughout a very long and challenging SEND tribunal process for my child.

From the beginning, Bruna Geada handled the case with professionalism, patience and genuine care. Communication was always clear and I always felt that both my child and our situation were understood.

The preparation for the hearing was extremely thorough and well organised. Barrister Matthew Banks represented the case with exceptional professionalism and clarity during the hearing, which was incredibly reassuring during what is naturally a very stressful process.

The outcome of the case was a double win, which truly reflects the strength of the preparation and the dedication of the team involved.

SEND tribunals can be incredibly overwhelming for families, but having a knowledgeable and supportive legal team makes a huge difference. I would highly recommend Lawstop’s education team to any parent navigating the SEND system.

Thank you again to Bruna, Matthew and the wider team for everything you have done for my child and our family.

My son with disabilities was unfairly kicked out of college for reason/action entirely linked to his disability. LawStop Solicitors took on the case. It was a very professional experience. The communications were very clear and timely. We were kept updated on all the steps and implications throughout the process, which enabled us make informed decisions and choices. They stepped in each time either the LA or college were not acting as they should, which helped put things back on track. They handled the matter every step of the way. Eventually we got the exact outcome we wanted at the Tribunal. It couldn't have been better.

I used Lawstop to appeal my child’s EHCP sections B,F and I. I cannot tell you in words how amazing they are Bruna in the education team is phenomenal. She replies to all emails promptly, chases the local authority and tribunal. Most of all she is the most amazing person you will meet in a professional capacity not only is her knowledge of education law and the tribunal process second to none. Her ability to listen and empathise is outstanding, she genuinely cares and takes an interest. I honestly cannot recommend this firm enough. My son’s specialist placement at our chosen school was secured as was most of the provisions for B&F. My little boy starts his specialist school in September, with his big brother who already attends after almost a year out of school due to trauma and that is all thanks to Bruna. I honestly cannot thank or recommend her enough.

Law stop have been brilliant for me when my landlord tried to take me to court with a section 21. Every phone call, email and just knowing you have a professional on your side helped me a lot and we eventually won all thanks to Siobhan. She was amazing and I'd do anything to help get lawstop more known to help more families out who are having problems.

I am forever grateful,I can’t express my joy enough. Elliot my solicitor is a well experience and good working ethic. I highly appreciate all that you did on my family reunion case. I want to thank you and to thank Lawstop solicitors. On Behalf of my family because you made the impossible possible. Thank you so much Elliot and be blessed.

A very competent, professional, kind, considerate, friendly and respectable legal office.

Superb!
I was very impressed with the efficiency, professional and knowledgeable service that Dani and her colleagues from Lawstop provided for my daughter.
They were a lifeline for me at a very stressful time. Thank you😊

I was more than happy with the service I received from Lawstop. I was lucky enough to work with an amazing guy James Rogers, he was so patient and helpful I can’t thank him enough for all his help and support! I was going through really tough time with my housing issue my children. They were really sick from poor placement from the council and he made sure my kids and I were provided with suitable accommodation, he is professional always available to reply back to emails he made us feel safe and well looked after. I don’t have words to explain how grateful we are to have him. May God bless him more and more with his life! Thank you James you are a treasure!!!

they so nice and help as much as they can and you can get quick answered the questions you ask and they update you all the time the best solicitors i’ve known 👍👍👍👍

Elisa is an Amazing lady, she helped me changed my life around with challenging the council for a property. I finally got a home. I’m Forever greatful it was a pleasure to have her work with me.

Very bad experience at Lawstop. Represented by them up to 2024 following a transfer from the Brighton branch which had my case open since 2023 with one of their fee earners then was passed on to another one, stalled for over a year by a third one and then passed on to a fourth fee earner in Hammersmith which closed my case down and Lawstop never reopened it.
Since December 2024 and then early 2025 as a rough sleeper when I filled a new entry application form via the new applicants delegate which reassured me to reopen my case quicker since I was a previous existing client, Lawstop persistently claimed to have no capacity for housing care / homelessness matters however they are to date accepting right in front of me new housing applicants but will not even hand me a form to be considered. All very discriminatory and random and bottom line they do not care about their clients or homeless, vulnerable adults with disabilities but just to immorally make legal aid easy money as they can.
The head of housing I was referred to by the head of Human Resources in January 2026 first said to be willing to look into my case but then, as I requested my up to date case file for them, they changed their version and told the head of human resources they could not help me and this without even knowing what my case is about as they never took a look at my files. The head of housing claimed they are not getting paid but would not accept my legal aid live certificate transfer or re-apply for a new certificate for me. For them to get paid they have to apply for it as this firm exclusively work on legal aid basis, so claiming they are not getting paid is a profanity as they have to apply to get paid to the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) in the first place and my case has merits as was already previously evaluated by the LAA. The head of housing claimed they do not work for the LAA… they are so, so rude and liars as they though gets paid only via legal aid at Lawstop so obviously they have got to have dealings with the LAA.
In 2023 Lawstop Brighton got a huge private payout from RBKC Council for settling my homelessness matter out of court however they abandoned me living across loads of hotels and communities as well rough sleeping to then close my case down and now the new applications delegate claimed I am the problem.
Like the front desk reception worker stated if they truly had no capacity for housing matters since early 2025 they would not be making any money as would be one whole year they do not take even a new client in! So they are obviously lying because they do not care about their clients as myself whether we live or die in sufferance. Appalling service from whoever is at the top managing Lawstop and glad if others had a good service from them but that was not my case. I was discriminated against, my experience with them since passed on to the third case worker was awful as they also lied to me that were progressing my matter when they were not. Lawstop only brought me more rough sleeping and extreme sufferance to date not to count how negatively their misleading and dishonest ways affected my mental and physical health how they treated me, so rude, unprofessional and uncaring. If I could I would let them close down!

I appreciate your unstopped support thank you

A good help reliable service my dislike is I get kicked for getting arrested again and am going not guilty

These positive reviews are very dubious. They have a high turn over of staff just vanishing. They lose evidence, do not follow instructions, do not offer sympathy or understanding and co- erce clients. We found them to be disorganised, unhelpful and dangerous. Maybe there are some good eggs but the egg we had a female solicitor we can't name just yet was appalling. She forgot details, she miswrote legal documents then pushed for deadlines, she routinely left things to the very last minute to sign off on, she ignored credible evidence to the point we were left wondering who is she working for? Us or the other side. She abandoned the case several times, then fixated over tiny matters whilst never addressing her own shocking errors in drafting. She mischaracterised instructions and gave appalling advice that lacked sense. She disclosed confidential information to the other side. How this person goes home and lives with themselves whilst destroying lives is beyond us. Just watch after this review they'll be a flurry of 5 stars to bury this one. Don't trust the 5 stars. Don't use them. Read the bad reviews.

I can’t recommend Lawstop enough. I had a pervious terrible experience with a firm of SEN solicitors who really knocked my faith in the professional support available to parents like myself, who were desperate and exhausted with the process of SEN needs assessment, obtaining an EHCP, various tribunals and then trying to get the specified provision implemented.
Bruna Geada was incredible, she supported and advised me throughout the working document process. She was highly responsive, understanding and conscientious, keeping me informed and chasing the local authority throughout. Bruna assisted with obtaining additional professional reports and drafting multiple amendments to the various versions of my daughter’s EHCP working document. Through Bruna’s hard work and tenacity, we got all of the amendments I wanted for my daughter included in her EHCP. I felt like my faith had been restored and a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I am incredibly grateful to Bruna and Lawstop for their hard work, professionalism and the result achieved.

Couldn’t thank Sara burcham enough for what she has done, she has been patient but professional through my whole journey and my family are grateful thank you excellent service
