First Class service

Helped me through a very difficult case, and was kept in the loop all the way, had things explained to me and supported.

Mr A.N.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Dedicated with Exceptional Attention to Detail

I can’t thank Rizwana enough for her hard work along with her caring emotional support during a very stressful time. My case took 6 years to get to trial. What had started with a family dispute over how I believed my mother’s money should be used to provide the dementia care she needed rather than a family inheritance, resulted in myself being falsely accused of the most terrible crimes. Whilst West Yorkshire police were quite happy to state to myself, in writing no less, that they WOULD NOT be working through the phone messages and emails as well as the evidence from the Court of Protection and Adult Social Care for any clues as to my innocence, Rizwana painstakingly and forensically poured over all of these effectively undertaking the desktop investigation I would have expected them to have carried out in the first place! She also ensured I secured a fantastic KC and barrister who proved to be as invested as her in ensuring innocent people like me have the truth heard. In court, the records that they, along with Rizwana, had collated and studied in great detail, were used to support the allegations were indeed false. I was unanimously acquitted in just over 3 hours. I would recommend Rizwana to anyone finding themselves in such a distressing situation through no fault of their own and I thank Kamran for assigning my case to such a dedicated member of the team whilst also thanking Zen for the paralegal support provided to Rizwana.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Charged with false Allegation

I had been charged with allegation . My family life went upside down. Lost access to my children and wife. I could be jailed for false allegation. Then i was referred to Whiterose Blackman law firm. To be honest there success rate is over 98%. I have seen the results. I was found not guilty on april 2026. I cannot explain the credibility of Mr Kamran and Rizwana Mehmood. They are well experienced and have incredible Criminal defence lawyers. Just because of these guys I'm free man today, living life with my wife and children after 12 months. Highly recommended

Dreadful, Stressful Experience

Legal Aid. First with Ali Khan who just didn't reply to my emails, then didn't inform me of the time of my PTPH, left me waiting at court for over 5 hours, then neither he nor my barrister turned up. I had several panic attacks. Changed to a different solicitor in the firm, Rizwana Mahmood. She was just as bad if not worse. Totally ignored emails, to the point where I had to email her 3 times and refuse a meeting before she actually realised that the CPS had not submitted all the evidence. She was abusive on the phone, gave me the inaccurate legal advise on several occasions. DO NOT RECOMMEND

There are two sides to every story and we do not wish to engage further on this matter.
