Client Comments
- “I was recommended this firm by my neighbour for a disrepair issues in my council property. I was with the firm for nearly 2 years as these type of disrepair council cases take time to settle. My assigned solicitor Imran was impeccable with his professionalism, communication and execution of administering a great service to me. He was always highly personalble throughout the case and we always accomplished tasks, i.e, paperwork, sending over evidence and him keeping me updated with any changes to the case if there were any.
I felt secure and never once felt a sense of apprehension about the outcome because he would discuss everything with me and the proceedures which gave me full reassurance surrounding the knowledge of the case. I was informed about the law around what governs me as a council tenant yet ones that protect me too. I felt listened to and all of my concerns and worries were seen as valuable and important as with these cases they can be very distressing and of course create worry. My feelings and experience were always taken into consideration and recognised as valid and substantial. There was a lot of paperwork thoughout the time however, Imran always ensured if I had any questions or quries I should contact him regarding them. I had a wonderful experience with other members of the team who at times I had to liase with. When the case finally went to court I never once doubted the outcome. “YES WE WON” that was amazing after such a long duration of time. The Barrister was great and we disscused all possible outcomes before the hearing went to court. All I can say is the firm has a great reputation because of the individuals who work there. They represent the excellence to their clients, with my case I received the best possible outcome and won. A highly professional group who know the law and work with clients at the highest possible service in my opinion. I have nothing but praise for them all and the experience I had was excellent. If you chose this firm to represent you, you will not be disappointed.”
- “You provided very good service. You processed my housing case in a very efficient manner.”
