Client Testimonials
"I was charged with conspiracy to arm robbery and remanded in to court Hassan dealt with my case managed to get me bail and put through a lesser plea of assisting an offender with basis of plea and today I was giving a suspended sentences. And my co defendant got 5 years in prison. Make sure you reach out to them best in the game."
"Hassan was able to quickly and efficiently support us and advocate for us when my son got in a spot of bother, and helped us to navigate the system"
"Hasan represented me in relation to a dangerous driving case involving extremely serious allegations. The incident involved driving at dangerous speeds with my vehicle door open, colliding with police and other vehicles, and a prolonged police pursuit, all while I was already on police bail for unrelated matters. From the outset, Hasan gave me clear, honest advice that it was in my best interests to plead guilty in order to receive maximum credit. He worked tirelessly on my case, obtaining a psychological report that provided compelling mitigation and taking detailed character references from my family and friends to present the strongest possible case on my behalf. At court, Hasan’s advocacy was exceptional. Thanks to the mitigation he prepared and the way he presented my case, I received a suspended sentence instead of immediate custody. The judge expressly stated that I would have been sent to prison had it not been for the mitigation put forward. I genuinely believe I owe my liberty to Hasan. I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism, dedication, and outstanding representation. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional defence solicitor."
