Testimonials

Mehtab M. had been recommended to me as my barrister couldn’t attend my scheduled hearing. Naturally, I was hesitant to work with a new barrister, but wow, I was blown away. From the moment she got on board, I felt she quickly understood my case, but importantly, she presented a great strategy to win the case. I was most impressed with how Mehtab adapted her approach and strategy to the flow of the conversations in the courtroom. I felt Mehtab handled my case as though it was very personal to her, which gave me confidence in relying on her expertise. Additionally, I felt Mehtab did an incredible job getting the judges to see the case from our perspective, which is a very important skill! I’m grateful we worked together on my case, as she was instrumental in me getting my desired outcome.”  – Leks O
