NRI Legal Services Omdömen 

Very clear about the process from the outset and very regular updates about progress which rarely gave me confidence about the whole matter. All the staff, but especially Gurjit, are really nice to deal with and happy to deal with any questions

I had a very positive experience with this legal team. Their communication was excellent, and they always responded to my emails promptly and kept me updated throughout the process. They were professional, supportive, and helpful at every stage.

Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to get my property back in India. I truly appreciate their efforts and the way they handled my case.

I would highly recommend this legal team to anyone who needs help recovering property in India, especially those living abroad who are struggling to get their property back. They are professional, reliable, and committed to helping their clients. Thank you for all your support and hard work!

NRI Legal Services worked well as a team , Nidhiji who we met personally, Savinder in Stanmore & Abdul based in India all worked hard and provided a professional service in dealing with our required services .
Thank you very much to all involved in helping us to get our desired outcome .

I had a very good experience working with the NRI legal team for changing the name on my utility bills in Hyderabad . The process can sometimes feel complicated, but the team was helpful, supportive, and professional throughout. They guided me through the process and kept me informed, which made things much easier and less stressful for me.

I would like to give special thanks to Ms. Monika Malik, Advocate Tasmin, Advocate Vrinda, and Advocate Tushar for their assistance. I also sincerely appreciate the Client Communication Team, especially Ms. Sonal ,Ms. Mansi and Ms. Babita, for their responsiveness, coordination, and patience in answering my questions.

Thank you all from bottom of my heart for your time, effort, and support in helping me get this matter taken care of. I truly appreciate the team’s service and would recommend them to anyone who needs assistance with similar matters.

Truly professional experience. Dealt with by Neha and Priya who explained the whole process and made things so easy to understand.

My name is Rita Pathela.

When my parents and brother passed away, I was living in Canada and had no experience of the Indian legal system. I needed to obtain a Succession Certificate from the courts in New Delhi and to complete the transfer of inherited immovable property in India, and it felt like an enormous mountain to climb from abroad. NRI Legal Services made the whole journey manageable, step by step, over the course of nearly four years. The whole process also involved much complexity because there were many legal heirs living in different parts of the world.

Advocate Nikhita, Advocate Ashok, and Advocate Aparam and their teams guided me through the succession proceedings with real patience and professionalism, and stayed with me through to the transfer of the immovable property in India. Alongside them, the client communication team — Ms. Mansi, Ms. Sonal and Ms. Babita — kept me consistently informed and looked after, which as an NRI client mattered enormously.

Together, the team understood not just the law but also the human side of what my family was going through. They represented me in court and before the banks, and followed through consistently even when the process required patience. In the end, the Succession Certificate was issued in my favour and the immovable property transfer in India was completed successfully.

If you are an NRI facing a difficult inheritance or property matter in India from abroad, and wondering whether you can trust a firm you may never meet in person, I would recommend NRI Legal Services without hesitation. They are simply magical and can get the work done with utmost professionalism.

I sincerely appreciate and cannot find words to express my gratitude to the NRI Legal Services team.

So far, I have been pleased with the service provided by the NRI team. They have successfully completed the transfer of ownership documentation relating to my father's property due to his ill health, and the process has been handled professionally and efficiently. The case is still ongoing, but communication and support to date have been very good.

The team were very helpful and supportive in assisting me in selling land in the Punjab , India. I honestly believe that without their guidance I would not have been successful in the business transaction. The business transaction that was handled by the team made the whole process so much simpler and alleviated the stress from me.

NRI dealt with my request very efficiently and any issues I had I could ask them direct and Gurjit especially understood my anguish over the legal side of things in India. I would recommend NRI to anyone needing advice for any overseas inquiries. Mrs S Bagri

I had a complex case involving the transfer of a property name, and the team at NRI Legal Services handled it exceptionally well. They were professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout the entire process. Despite the complexity of the case, they managed everything efficiently and made the process much easier for me.

I truly appreciate their hard work and dedication. I highly recommend NRI Legal Services to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal assistance with NRI property matters.

I would like to thank the people involved individually

Outstanding Service & Unmatched Expertise for NRIs!
Managing property matters from abroad can be incredibly stressful, but NRI Legal Services made the entire process seamless and worry-free. I had a complex property situation involving both partition and kabza (possession) proceedings, and their team handled it with absolute professionalism, precision, and efficiency.
Thanks to their relentless effort, both the partition and possession issues were resolved successfully without me going to India even once.
I am extremely grateful for their dedication and highly recommend NRI Legal Services to any non-resident Indian needing trustworthy legal representation!

Amazing services regarding all legal matters for OCI citizens. International and well established, was very helpful in our request. Highly professional services and good turnaround time, they kept us informed on every step of the process. The staff are all highly professional, in particular Salim and Sonia of the UK team and Neelam of the team in India were brilliant. Highly recommended.

I engaged NRI Legal Services to complete a transfer of property. They were absolutely transparent about the fee from the get-go. Although the process took longer than expected, ultimately it concluded successfully, without requiring my physical presence in India - as agreed upon. Highly recommend them!

Very good service, recommend using them.

As a lawyer (Barrister) in the UK, it was important to me that the transfer of the my parents' house was handled sensitively by highly qualified and highly experienced lawyers, specialising in the law of Ludhiana; had the contacts in the relevant departments, had a transparent charging structure and understood me as a person (a woman) and my back story, as well as the brief. I also wanted to be part of the legal team and not an outsider. I investigated a couple of organisations, I had meetings with both. I met with NRI, Leicester (in person and by Teams) and the other law firm was no competition for NRI. I was immediately introduced to the legal team in India. Neelam was my point of contact over there and she was absolutely fantastic - emailing me every 2 weeks with regular updates, dealing with all my questions and holding my hand every step of the way. Sonia and Salim are my Leicester contacts and they were part of the team dealing with my work from this end. They arranged for the Notary Public to come to my house to prepare all the Power of Attorney documents (which had to be sent to the High Court in London to be notarised). The property team in India physically attended the house in Ludhiana, assessed the property, valued it, made sure that it was secure and liaised with all relevant departments (including applying pressure where there were delays). They handled everything from beginning to end without me having to go to India which was helpful, given that I'm a busy lawyer myself. They were also very happy to listen to my ideas about things and provided their very candid legal advice and where appropriate, were not afraid to disagree with me (and they were right to do so). All in all I have been extremely happy with the work done by the property team and i would like to send my thanks to Neelam (India) and Sonia and Salim (Leicester) who took all the stress out of it for me (during the most difficult time of my life).

I have just instructed the Banking team to commence succession proceedings to deal with the 13 bank accounts in my parents name. I have already had a teams meeting with the banking team that has been put together specifically to do the work for me. They walked me through the entire process and what would be involved and what they needed for me in the way of documents to commence the work. They were extremely knowledgeable, a very confident, proactive and a fiercly supportive and protective group of individuals and I left that meeting feeling that they knew my case inside out and totally had my back. Again, we discussed some ideas of my own, my concerns and fears and together, we came up with a plan and a strategy on the way forward.

I rate them very highly. I would not hesitate to recommend them and my stand out people have been Neelam, Sonia and Salim.

We engaged NRI Legal Services to assist with the transfer and title-related legal matters for a family property. They guided us through the process in a clear and professional manner and were very responsive to our questions along the way. The team helped ensure that the required documentation and filings were handled efficiently. Overall, we had a positive experience and appreciated their support and consistent communication related to our matter.

We are former clients of NRI legal from 2019-2026.
There are a few things prospective clients should be aware of before employing this company.
First of all the legal advice is provided from India ; NRI legal is not regulated to provide legal advice in the UK.
If you have problems or complaints with NRI legal as we did, you do not have any legal protection in the UK.

As the Head Office is based in India, the Legal Ombudsman can not help, The Trading Standard can not help.
They do not belong to the SRA, Solicitors Regulation Authority, so they cannot help.
You, the client have no legal protection.

This is a grey area which we feel has been exploited by this company. This is an area that the authorities should look into to protect UK clients/ citizens.

Another issue is their payment scheme.

Under its operating model the prospective clients are offered a free consultation and performance assessment. The legal team in India then provide feedback on the success prospects and indicative timeframe with a flat one off inclusive fee for managing the case from start to completion in court. The full cost is notified, and the contract for services signed in the UK. The contract sets out the full fee and the schedule is structured over the agreed timeframe

In our case, 15 months with payments being triggered every quarter over that term regardless of performance.

NRI Legal completely underestimated their own capabilities and has grossly exceeded the agreed timeframe of 15 months for our case. Even with the onset of COVID we were told there could be a possibility of yet another 5 years. So in our case at least 10 years all together.
By 2026 due to the automatic payment schedule the majority of the fee had already been paid with negligible results and declining interest and effort from NRI Legal Services.

We, the clients have no leverage, we were told by NRIL that from once being a strong case which they themselves stated in their review, it is now weak and we should request a settlement. A settlement is an easy option for the company as it would requires little work or effort from NRIL

Apart from meetings with the marketing team based in the UK, the Indian team had shown no interest in meeting with us, the clients. To be fair they have arranged Microsoft teams meeting when asked, and respond to emails promptly. At these meetings it was very clear the staff did not understand our case.
You would assume a professional legal team would want a meeting with their clients, to introduce themselves, to ask us questions about our case, take statements from witnesses, but no, they have never requested a meeting with us to discuss our case or take statements.

The only time they had ever requested a meeting was when they wanted more payment.

A relative also a client of NRI, has never had a meeting with their lawyers in India even after several years of being their client. She also was offered a settlement even though she had not requested one.

I shall provide another review with a more personal account with our dealings with this company, and our case.

We received excellent service from them. On our first appointment, they were upfront with their costs and time frame. Yes, there were additional costs, but they were expected and mentioned.
They have been a great help and understanding.
There was constant communication between us.

We enquired about doing transfer of land for my father with other solicitors in Birmingham - but they did not fill us with confidence. Their processes were unclear, they had personal files lying on the floor of offices etc.

We ended up having an introductory meeting with Gurjit and Rajiv at the Smethwick offices of NRI. Both clearly explained the process, yes a bit of a sales pitch, but we felt confident they could meet our needs and work to timescales we were looking for. They are a big company with good resources in India and are professional.

The costs are not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. We personally felt confident enough to pay half the money up front to get things moving. Gurjit was our main contact moving forwards. I found Gurjit clear and helpful and she kept me informed. Some elements of work were time sensitive and she worked to ensure those timescales were met. She kept in touch with the Indian team and provided updates from them and translations of key document for me, as I don't read Punjabi.

As part of due diligence, the NRI team found some extra land that my father was entitled to through heritage. This increased the costs to register and transfer, but Gurjit didn't proceed but asked for my permission before proceeding with this work and was transparent about all costs. Copies of the Indian deeds were sent electronically initially and then original copies were available to collect from the Smethwick offices.

All the work was completed in a timely and professional way and I can fully and honestly recommend NRI Legal Services in Smethwick. Thank you Gurjit and all the team in the UK and those in India.

I would like to take this moment to express my deepest gratitude to the entire solicitor team in both the UK and India for their exceptional support throughout the sale of our house in India.

A special thank‑you goes to Sonia Sandu, who coordinated everything here in the UK with such care and professionalism, and to Neelam Kaur, who managed all aspects in India with equal dedication.

I am especially grateful to Salim Mulji who kindly visited our home in the UK to explain the process clearly to my elderly parents, ensuring they felt comfortable and informed at every stage.

My heartfelt thanks also go to Dhananjay who oversaw the sales process in India and stood by my parents throughout the key moments, offering reassurance and support when it mattered most.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge Savinder, whose contribution during the final stages helped bring everything to a smooth and successful conclusion.

Thank you all for your hard work, patience, and commitment. Your efforts made a complex process far easier for our family, and we are truly grateful.

Kind Regards

Chetna & Family
