Testimonials

“I have my life back thanks to Abbas and his team. I would say to anyone that believes they have the impossible case, Abbas will make the impossible…possible.”

Nash

“Honest, professional, empathetic, genuine people who tell you how it is. Up front about costs and keeping you in the loop of your case phone calls out of office hours if necessary.

I won my case, but even if I had been less successful, I would have said it was money well spent.

Would not hesitate to use again.”

YB & HB

“Excellent advice received from start to finish from Mr Lakha QC. Mr Lakha QC did not have long to prepare the case, but he was very reassuring and right at the outset explained the technical points he would use to fight my son’s case. He also explained the importance of getting the case closed quickly so it favoured my son’s position. He was very thorough and presented the case excellently. “

Mr S
