I qualified as a solicitor in June 2020 and joined the Albin and Co Child Care department in June 2025 as a Child Care solicitor and supervisor. Prior to joining Albin and Co, I collaborated closely with domestic violence organisations such as DASH, Hestia and Women Aid. From a young age, I have been driven to assist vulnerable individuals. I was actively involved in volunteering and received the V100 award for dedicating over 100 hours to a charity called Aik Saath (together as one). Additionally, I served the local community in my role as a local Councillor from May 2019 until May 2023. I have experience in various areas working family law, including children law (live with orders, specific issue orders, prohibited steps orders, children arrangement orders and termination of parental responsibility), domestic abuse (Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders), divorce, child care, transfer of tenancy and financial matters. I have also conducted my own advocacy whereby I have successfully obtained Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders in favour of my clients. In respect of care matters, I have represented parents during the PLO stage and in applications for care orders, supervision orders, placement orders and special guardianship orders. Throughout my career I have handled a range of complex cases involving physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse, neglect, substance abuse, domestic violence, mental health issues and parental alienation.

    Above and beyond from start to finish.

    I can’t recommend Ruqayah highly enough. She took on my case in September 2025 after it had already been going on for around 18 months with multiple hearings, and she got across it incredibly quickly. What stood out most was how consistently she kept me updated without me ever having to chase - she was proactive the whole way through. She also helped me understand the situation in a clear, black-and-white way, which made a huge difference. It helped me take the emotion out of it and focus on what matters most - my daughter. She was also genuinely understanding about my ADHD, including forgetfulness and delayed replies, without judgement. Professional, sharp, and supportive - I’m really grateful for everything she’s done.
