MetroLaw Solicitors

An extremely positive experience. From the very start I felt confident that I was in good hands. Everything was explained to me in plain English with no legal jargon to confuse things. The fee structure was also very clear and the original fee quoted was the fee I paid. I always felt that my sale was top priority and I never had to chased for anything. I rarely had to wait more than an hour for a reply to my emails.

I first went to MetroLaw Solicitors in 2011 with a very complex immigration case. This year I received leave to remain in the UK through the incredibly skilful, honest and hard work from MetroLaw. What I really like about them is they tell you straight whether they can do something or not. I asked them about my wife’s case, my brother’s case and other cases and they told me either to not change from other solicitors to them as it would cost me or to not do anything as I would waste my money. Through my friends and family I know about many solicitors and I know how they charge so much money and make promises that they do not keep. Mr Sood and Mala at MetroLaw never made any false promises, always saw me when I wanted to meet them, always took my calls and never charged me more than they quoted up front. They are honest people that I trust completely.

Syed Shah

14:28 09 Apr 18

I have been dealing with MetroLaw since 2011. I have always found that they know what to do and equally importantly what to not do for you. I have found always that they take client confidentiality very seriously. This is not something to take for granted. They accommodate me when it is convenient for me rather than expect to work with me when it is convenient only for them. Not only are they professional in what they do but they are very good at strategising the way forward. They seem to have an instinct to spot problems before these occur. You should give them a try to see for yourself.

Mr kapila

08:37 11 Apr 18

I would absolutely recommend Metrolaw Solicitors. I was kept updated regularly and was very involved in every step of the process. I was fully aware of everything going on behind the works, and this made dealing with my immigration matter easier. The immigration team really took the stress off me and made it as comfortable a process as possible. I am very grateful to the team at Metrolaw Solicitors for their hard work in dealing with my immigration matter, and I am very satisfied with the outcome.

Very professional Team. Sumair Iqbal was very helpful and very friendly, kept me up-to-date when i purchased my very first property late 2017. Always a prompt response. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again. Thank you Metrolaw.

We recently used Metro Law Solicitors for our home move conveyancing . Our case was assigned to Manesha Fernando, and she handled it very effectively throughout the process.She spent enormous amount of time on our matter, advised us on each and every step of the way & prepared all the necessary documents . Communication was absolutely ontime, without any delay & very clear also office appointments were very welcoming.Costs were very competitive and there was no compromise on service.

I have dealt with Metrolaw Solicitors for many years now. They always answer my phone straightaway or call back immediately even out of office hours and on holidays. They will see me straightaway and if I have a big or small problem they will deal with this straightaway. Recently when I approached them with a problem by texting a few details to them before I could even send a follow up message asking when they would get time to deal with my matter, they messaged back saying they had dealt with everything and giving me details. I never have to chase them for updates as they keep me updated without being prompted to do so. The thing I like most about Metrolaw is that they treat you with complete respect and they never focus just on money. Their focus to is solve your problems and to keep a healthy relationship with you long-term. I am 35 and have been looked after by people at Metrolaw since I was 19.

Marta Aguilar

16:54 21 Apr 19

I went to Metrolaw having heard very good things about them just under one year ago after my immigration case was completely messed up by another firm. Even though my case was so complex the team at Metrolaw did not make me feel anything but comfortable. I was detained 3 times, went to court once and still they looked after me and always with a smile. They even saw me on a Sunday as it was very important for me to get my matter progressed due to a tight deadline. I now have right to stay in the UK and simply cannot thank Metrolaw enough. I am overwhelmed by the respect they showed me every time I went to see them. I cannot say more than that I felt that they treated me as if I was their family member. I asked them about other cases such as my brother’s case and they said they cannot help as there was no merit in these cases. This was a big difference I felt with Metrolaw compared to other firms because they just do not take on cases just to take money from you like others do. Go to Metrtolaw if you want an honest and respectful service

PJS Global

We have instructed MetroLaw a number of times on leases and on evictions of tenants, and on every occasion we have been provided with an excellent, cost effective and friendly service. We are not surprised that the firm is a multi-award winning firm.

17:44 17 Jan 20

We received a beyond excellent service from start to finish regarding our probate matter with Metrolaw Solicitors. From the start, the solicitor in charge of our case, Mr Sumair Iqbal was understanding and very transparent regarding what was needed and how Metrolaw would proceed. There were no hidden costs, no unforeseen surprises later on in the proceedings. The charge for their services quoted at the initial meeting, was what was paid. Everything was explained clearly from the beginning so we knew what to expect. They scored highly on accessiblity also, we were able to email or call Mr Iqbal with any queries throughout the whole process. Having never had to deal with probate matters in the past, this put my mind at rest, as other local solicitors have a reputation for terrible service and non-communication with their clients who are often left hanging. This, however, is absolutely not the case with Metrolaw Solicitors. I now feel such confidence in recommending Metrolaw Solicitors and in particular Mr Sood and Mr Iqbal to anyone requiring the services of a highly reputable solicitor.

Ilir Dobraci

23:04 24 Aug 20

After being with so many solicitors and spending so much money without any success friends recommended I try Metrolaw. Straightaway I knew this was a good firm. They gave me an appointment for the following day after my call to them, explained the charges for this meeting and who would meet me and everything was exactly like they had advised. In my first meeting they explained the chances of success of my case, what the costs would be and the timescales. Everything was exactly like they explained. The whole experience till I got my leave to remain was smooth and painless thanks to them. They have changed my life and I will never forget this.

I have been a client of Metrolaw's since the past 8 years and have just returned to them having been dealt with by solicitors in the North of England where I currently live. I had to return to Metrolaw in spite of the distance as this is the only firm to have treated me with respect. All I can say is it is worth travelling miles to come to this firm if you want a good service from a firm of solicitors. Thank you to Metrolaw for dealing with my very delicate matter and for re-instating my confidence.

M Ahmed

16:01 15 Sep 20

I have been using this firm since 2003 when the immigration services caught me. They never make a big deal about anything and are always available to discuss or deal with any problems that my family or I will have. They know how to speak my native language and this helps. They are always polite and listen to what I have to say, which is very important to me. I never use another firm and send anyone who asks me for a solicitor to them. Everyone I have sent has been happy with their service.

I heard of this firm last year and brought my Immigration Case to them. They dealt with everything in a very professional manner even meeting me without keeping me waiting when I turned up without an appointment, even after Covid-19. I feel really safe in their hands. They deal with everything in a positive and humorous manner. I received my right to stay in the UK due to them. Well done Metrolaw!

13:17 03 Apr 21

I have known the people at Metrolaw for a very high number of years and have instructed them on many matters and sent many of my friends and family members to them for Immigration, Crime, Property Law, Conveyancing and Litigation matters. Not only have I never once been disappointed but I have always been very happy with their service and especially with their attitude which is exceptional. I have called them so many times in those years and no matter if it is a Sunday or a holiday or late in the evening they have not only answered my call but have always cracked jokes but at the same time been very serious about the work they have done for us. They will always contact me when they say they will. Also, they charge very reasonable fees unlike others.

Besnik Daci

10:52 06 Apr 21

I have worked with people at this firm since 2004 in a number of areas of law. They are very honest and will never mislead by saying they can do something when they cannot. They never charge more than reasonable fees and are always available to speak with me no matter when I contact them. I can ask them the most complex questions and they will always find a solution. They are a very pleasant team with a very good sense humour and will always deal with me with dignity. I cannot recommend them enough.
