Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

My interest in law and in particular criminal law began at University. Criminal Law was a subject I enjoyed immensely and it ultimately ignited my passion for the subject. The State has many powers, powers which must be exercised appropriately and not abused. The idea of being able to hold the State and its organisations to account when potential abuses occur along with my personal strong sense of justice made the decision to become a criminal defence lawyer an easy one. Originally called to the Bar at Lincolns Inn in 1998, I completed the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test to become a solicitor. Born and bred in London, I gained experience at a specialist criminal practice in North London. I remained in practice in London for 16 years representing clients at some of the busiest police stations, Magistrates Courts and Crown Courts in the country. Protecting the rights of individuals is a fundamental right and one that underpins everything I do for my clients. I am measured in my approach, put clients at ease during difficult times and explain things in plain English. I am a persuasive and tenacious advocate not afraid of making strong representations when advancing the case for my clients at the police station or in court. I have worked with leading barristers and gained invaluable experience dealing with the some of the most complicated, technical cases and clients. I continue to have strong and established links with barristers and their Chambers nationwide but particularly in London and Yorkshire. I am currently a duty solicitor and a higher court advocate. I am passionate about training future lawyers. I have been a mentor to law students at the University of Derby for over 10 years and have previously taught Advanced Criminal Litigation on the Legal Practice Course at Nottingham Law School. I have featured in the Legal 500. Previously I have held positions on the Criminal Practitioners Group (Law Society) and the Ethnic Minority Lawyers Division (Law Society). I have been a former committee member for the Society of Asian Lawyers, a school governor and a member of the Valuation Tribunal of England and Wales. I speak Punjabi and conversational Urdu.

    Good experience

    Zed was recommended to me, and from the very beginning he came across as incredibly attentive, reassuring, and meticulous in how he approached my case. He took the time to break everything down clearly — what the process involved, what I should expect, and how to navigate each stage. It never felt like I was dealing with things on my own; he guided me throughout, making sure I always felt supported and confident. He gathered all the information he needed and prepared my case with real precision, and thanks to his dedication and expertise, I was able to keep my licence. I’m genuinely grateful. Thank you, Zed — your support truly made a difference.

    I had an excellent experience with Mr Shah, who represented me in a recent court matter. From the outset, he was clear, professional, and reassuring during what was a very stressful situation. He took the time to understand my circumstances in detail and provided practical, honest advice throughout. On the day of the hearing, his preparation and advocacy made a real difference, he presented my case clearly and effectively, and I felt fully supported. Thanks to his expertise and approach, the outcome was far better than I had feared. I would highly recommend Mr Shah to anyone needing legal representation, particularly in motoring matters. Thank you again for your support and professionalism.

    Exceptional Criminal Defence Representation

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Zed and Alia at Shah Hague Solicitors for the outstanding support they provided during a very difficult time for our family. Zed, in particular, was exceptional throughout my son’s criminal defence case. From the very beginning, he was professional, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, kept us informed at every stage, and made what was a very stressful situation feel much more manageable. His dedication and expertise truly made a difference, and thanks to his hard work, my son received a very positive outcome. We are incredibly grateful for the effort and care he put into the case. Alia was also very helpful and supportive, always responsive and kind, which meant a lot to us during the process. I would highly recommend Shah Hague Solicitors to anyone in need of legal support. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to their clients are second to none. Thank you again for everything.

    My experience working with Zed was very positive. From the start, he was professional, clear, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was straightforward and understandable, which helped ease a lot of stress.

    Zed was referred to me, and we arrange a meeting to discuss my case. At that 1st appointment it was evident to me that Zed genuinely cared about the circumstances for which I was requiring his representation. He was diligent, compassionate and fully comprehended my predicament, and more importantly, the detriment it would have on me if I was to loose my driving licence. After eliciting the necessary information from me, Zed put his case notes together which were presented in court, and I was able to keep my licence. Even if my outcome had not proven favourable I still would have no hesitation in recommending Zed or his colleagues, as they truly have your interest front and centre. Thank you again Zed.

    I recently used the services of Zed at Shahhague Solicitors, and I am so glad I did. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also extremely understanding. Zed took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Everything was handled smoothly, and I felt confident in his expertise. Highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal support.
