.

Shaista has assisted me over a number of years and has always been so helpful and explained everything to me and answered any questions I had regarding the matter. She always went above and beyond for me and it felt like what ever I requested wasn't too much trouble for her. She always achieved the desired outcome for me and I would not hesitate to contact her again if ever needed. I appreciate massively what she has done for me over the years and would highly recommend her.

Don’t use this solicitor

Ms Shahnaz clearly didn’t know what she was doing. She did not understand the pernicious nature of domestic abuse, was so nervous in court that she could barely speak, did not explain any of the procedures I was being subject to, and as a result left both me and my daughter open to my ex-husband’s abuse for years after my marriage ended. Under her ‘legal guidance’ my daughter was removed from my care and left exposed to ex husband’s behaviour, without any other adult protecting her. My daughter has suffered immense and indescribable harm because she failed to represent my case in court. Fortunately I found a decent solicitor and my daughter is back with me now.

Truly grateful

I went to Henry Hyams to be my representatives at family court. I had Shaista as my solicitor and I'm glad that I did. She was very professional, punctual and intricate with all the complicated details and always gave me sound advice. I cannot thank her enough for her service and highly recommend her to anyone who may need a solicitor for family court.
