Shameela Chopdat

What I do

I qualified as a Solicitor in 2011 and have since specialised in all areas of family law including (but not limited to) divorce, financial settlements, issues regarding children and cohabitation disputes.

I combine my expertise with empathy to ensure clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.

I am also a member of Resolution which promotes resolving matters in a constructive non-confrontational manner.

I like to think I am a good listener, and this coupled with my caring and compassionate approach, helps build an excellent rapport with clients.

I am also a big team player and am happy to help my colleagues in any way.

I am mum to three beautiful boys who keep me busy outside of work.

I also enjoy a bit of retail therapy, eating out and travelling whenever I can.

Shameela Chopdat acted for me in drawing up a Pre Nup agreement. Despite a few twisty turney pensions arrangements, all was completed satisfactorily in the timeline. Would recommend.

I used Shameela and smith partnership for both our house purchase and more importantly for a family law case. The team for both items are brilliant. Excellent communication and made all the legal stuff easy to understand, I cannot recommend them enough!

I was recommended by a friend to use Smiths Partnership for a family matter. Shameela has been my solicitor for the 8 months and she has been fantastic. I would highly recommend. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Couldn’t thank Shameela enough.

Very happy with the level of care and service from Shameela during my divorce proceedings. From my very first meeting with Shameela she took the time to explain things to me in great detail and answer any questions I had. The whole process I believe was conducted in a quick manner and she was honest and did not cause unnecessary costs I feel I was treated very fairly and I would recommend Shameela to anyone needing her professional services.
