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.

    I cannot recommend Shah Hague Solicitors highly enough. They supported me from start to finish throughout my case, keeping me informed every step of the way. They were always honest, transparent, and realistic about the possible outcomes, which gave me confidence and trust in their advice. They were reliable, professional, and trustworthy throughout the entire process, leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to ensure the truth came to light. I am extremely grateful for their dedication, commitment, and support. If you are looking for solicitors who genuinely care about your case and will work tirelessly to get to the truth, I would highly recommend Shah Hague Solicitors.

    I was definitely in a difficult predicament, but Shah Hague firm really helped me out! Their experience and understanding of the law is critical, meaning whoever they deal with can have a profound result in terms of what they offer. I’m very happy with their resolve and advice during my case and would recommend anyone else to contact them regarding their services.

    I am a young 19 year old driver, who has newly passed. I needed a solicitor who specialised in motoring offences and was recommended Zed from Shah Hague solicitor from a family friend solicitor. I was in court for a number of very complex and serious motoring offences I was definitely facing a driving ban which would have serious implications for our family business. Initially I spoke to Mitchell who was brilliant explained everything throughly was very knowledgeable and helpful. I was represented at the police station by the company’s solicitor advised me to no comment as the police was putting serious pressure and intimidating during the interview as the evidence against me was very strong. Before the police interview I felt frightened and under a lot of pressure but the solicitor made me feel calm. Zed took some notes prior to the court date Zed was very confident knowledgeable understood the law around motoring offences he presented my case to 3 judges and prosecuting solicitors and persuaded them brilliantly. I wasn’t banned from driving due to Zed. Thank you so much by the best solicitor.

    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.

    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.
