Contacted Witan to discuss and seek advice on our situation, had an excellent conversation with Qarrar, who grasped and understood the complexity of our situation, throughout the conversation he was reassuring, empathetic, personable, very ‘down to earth’ ,knowledgeable and he cared. Everything we needed at our time of need.
Highly recommend their services

Constructive advice

5

An unscrupulous so called business man ignored the business arrangement he had with my Father and wrongly issued a notice to quit the premises and wrongly named me as a defendant. Mr Somji reviewed the case and gave constructive advice on how to proceed.

I strongly recommend Witan Solicitors especially Mr Qarrar Somji who has been so helpful in my most difficult time. I really appreciate all the legal advice and help that was provided, he went above and beyond regarding my situation. It was so easy to speak to him, and he was so understanding and approachable. Other businesses that I have tried lacked this quality, making clients comfortable and making their journey feel easy is something that this firm excelled at. Thank you very much for all your help, much appreciated.

I have participated in a summer internship at Witan Solicitors in their Birmingham office. From the onset, I could see a high level of dedication to delivering exceptional service to clients. Qarrar, the managing director, leads a team of highly skilled and reliable solicitors to provide excellent tailored advice to their clients. As a student, I benefitted from the personal and individual approach that Witan takes to its clients because I gained high exposure to a broad range of legal matters - commercial and personal. I got engaged in client meetings, attended a court hearing where Witan was representing its client, drafted legal documents and gained an insight into the business management perspective of leading a law firm. For a law student, this level of exposure to the legal world was unprecedented and unlike anything that I would gain in a big corporate law firm. I was given a high level of responsibility which meant that my learning curve was very steep.

The firm's culture is also amazing. I was welcomed by a group of hard-working friendly solicitors who all shared a strong team spirit and tackled their tasks head-on. I have witnessed the respect and dedication with which Witan approaches its clients. As a student, I can only recommend Witan Solicitors. If I were a prospective client, I would feel confident in choosing Witan because my legal needs would be in the hands of professionals whose number one priority is client satisfaction.
