I went to Shubha during probably one of the most stressful situations I've ever been through. It started from an online friendship with someone living in America. We spoke pretty much every day, became very close and over time money became involved.
I trusted this person and sent her money on a number of occasions because I genuinely believed I was helping someone I cared about. We eventually made plans to meet in New York and I travelled there from the UK, having spent a lot of time and money organising the trip. When I arrived, I was blocked and she didn't turn up. I ended up becoming seriously unwell while I was there and my family had to fly out to get me because I wasn't in a position to travel home by myself.
After that, everything became a complete mess. I felt like I'd been emotionally and financially taken advantage of and all I wanted was answers and my money back. My attempts to get answers eventually resulted in allegations of harassment being made against me and solicitors becoming involved. I then received legal correspondence full of serious legal language and warnings about litigation, contempt, fines and even imprisonment. As someone who wasn't legally represented at the time, reading things like that genuinely scared and confused me.
That's when Shubha stepped in. The case wasn't straightforward because I was in the UK and the other person was in America, so there were complicated cross-border and jurisdictional issues, with a UK law firm involved as well.
Shubha didn't just read the allegations and make assumptions. She actually listened to the full story and went through everything properly — how we'd met, the messages, the money I'd sent, the New York trip and everything that happened afterwards. She also challenged the tone of the correspondence I'd received and explained the legal side to me in normal language, which took away a lot of the fear I had at the time.
What stood out just as much as her legal work was how Shubha treated me personally. She could see how much the whole situation had affected me and was genuinely kind, patient and understanding throughout.
I never felt like I was just another client or another file on her desk. When you're already stressed and dealing with lawyers in two different countries, having someone in your corner who actually listens makes a massive difference.
Thank you, Shubha. I genuinely won't forget what you did for me and I'd happily recommend Nath Solicitors to anyone dealing with a difficult or complicated legal situation.
