What Does a Barrister Do?

Barristers are legal professionals who specialise in advocacy, legal advice, and court representation. Unlike solicitors, barristers are typically instructed for complex or high-stakes cases where courtroom expertise is essential. At Demstone Chambers, our direct access barristers can be instructed by individuals and businesses without the need for a solicitor, saving you time and expense.

How to instruct a Barrister

What our clients say:

We recently instructed Barrister Mehtab Malhotra in a complex family law matter. Mehtab was outstanding throughout. Her advice was clear and reassuring, and her advocacy during the fact-finding hearing was both meticulous and persuasive. She handled a very challenging case with professionalism and secured a vital contact order. Our client was extremely pleased and grateful for her support and expertise.

Md Ashraful Alam

What our clients say:

I had the pleasure if working with Mr. Billal from Demstone Chambers. He took my case on a short notice and gave all attention required for my family case. I was particularly impressed by his attention to details, care, and genuine efforts to understand and communicate my case. Mr Billal presented my case in a very eloquent and truthful way that only helped in progressing my case into a favourable outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Billal to family and friends. Thank you very much!

Rami

What our clients say:

I recently had Billal Malik represent me in court (Direct Access). He has a direct transparent approach which is perfect for explaining what is required and the procedure going forward which put me at great ease.

Kaz

What our clients say:

I have had the privilege of being represented by Barrister Billal Malik since 2020, and I cannot emphasize enough how valuable his expertise and dedication have been throughout my family case and Home Office application. Mr. Malik has proven to be an exceptional barrister, providing valuable legal guidance, support, and flexibility every step of the way.

Chris

What our clients say:

I used their barrister service recently and found them to be quite fair, pretty flexible and extremely professional. These guys know what they’re doing. Communication (which I think is a very important factor when it comes to a service like that) was fast, and efficient as well.
