Abdul Mueed Kayani

Tagged solicitor Abdul Mueed Kayani

Abdul Kayani steered us through this complex and sometimes frustrating matter, professionally and speedily. The matter involved liaising with an American law firm in relation to an intestate estate in America. Not surprisingly, the matter presented Mr Kayani with novel and unusual issues, which he dealt with very competently.

Tagged solicitor Anwar Zeb Khattak

I strongly recommend Blackfriars Law Solicitors, 24th Jan 2023 I have visited them by just walking in and received warm welcome at reception. They speak multi languages Urdu Panjabi etc beside English I find easy to explain that I am looking to get legal documents attested. Without appointment Mr Anwar is Super Professional (LLB) give me all briefing on my Documents and make me understand about all my rights and legal status with 3rd party which I can read in English but technical points and law wise hard to understand for me as a new to British society. Blackfriars Law Solicitors are super-fast with customer service in all way phone call, email or in person with descent fee in Birmingham.

Hilary Coles

Tagged solicitor Hilary Coles

Hilary Coles from Maitland Walker Solicitors handled 2 inherited property sales for me. Both of which were complicated and drawn out. Hilary dealt with any and all issues in a professional manner, she always returned my calls, answered my emails, kept me updated throughout and made what could have been a very stressful time into an acceptable experience. I would thoroughly recommend Maitland Walker to anyone.
