Testimonials
Balahl Khan represented me in what was listed as a final hearing of a child arrangement order for keeping custody of my daughter. Although it being last minute, not even a weeks’ notice, I emailed over all the information I had about my case to him and he made sure he had thoroughly studied my case. He had clearly spent a lot of time preparing as this was shown when he represented me and got me the exact outcome I wanted. I have been very impressed with Mr Khan’s professionalism and communication and the continued support he has shown me as well, I would highly recommend him anyone who is needing a barrister. I am extremely happy with the outcome that I do not think I would have gotten without Mr Khan.
