What clients say

I have been a client since 2018 and I am very happy to see that Hira Rauf, who gave us all support as a legal assistant, is now a great solicitor who I strongly recommend. Thank you.

I spoke to Hira Rauf over the phone and disclosed my situation which she listened to with professionalism before recommending Linda Pope.

Linda was understanding of my situation and carefully and considerately explained my options and provided invaluable advice, support and guidance. Linda Pope, Olivia Chatfield and Hira Rauf are a valuable asset to Miles & Partners.

Extremely grateful to Linda, Hira and Olivia for their efforts, support and valuable time to respond so comprehensively when I am not a client. I would highly recommend Miles & Partners in London because their lawyers are highly knowledgeable, understanding and hardworking.
