The Barrister Group Reviews 

From start to finish this was a great experience. It was a very stressful time for me and the whole process was quick and efficient and great care was taken by Amy, initially, to match me with the right barrister for me. Nadeem was calm cool and collected throughout. He was very thorough and really fought my corner well. He is hugely personable and reliable and I would thoroughly recommend him

Fantastic knowledge and expertise in child proceedings matter. I would highly recommend Mr Aslam.

Nick Wright of Counsel was instructed by me to prepare a particulars of claim for a complex GDPR breach matter. Nick was very responsive to my query and provided the particulars of claim very quickly of me providing my instructions. The Barrister Group responded to my query with a cost-effective quote for the services that would be required bearing in mind this was a small claims track case and Nick's particulars of claim was very detailed and clear about what the claim was about.

Recommendation:
1. The only feedback I would provide to improve the service provided by the Barrister Group would be to update Nick's profile as it is clear he has very good knowledge of GDPR breach claims and his profile does not contain this information and helps lay clients like me understand that Nick is more than suitable to be instructed in these types of cases as clients do review counsel profiles before confirming instructions.

Mr Asim Hussain - Deeply Disappointed — Unresponsive and Negligent Barrister - I had an extremely distressing experience with Mr Asim Hussain, whom I hired to represent me in a sensitive family law matter. Despite repeated follow-ups, he failed to respond to my messages and completely ignored my concerns.

Shockingly, he accepted a draft court order from the opposing solicitor without consulting me — his own client. This order excluded key directions given by the judge during the FDA hearing. Because of his negligence, I had to fight to get the order reissued, which delayed my FDR hearing by four months.

As a single parent fighting to recover life savings siphoned abroad by my ex-husband, I was left emotionally and financially drained. Mr Hussain showed no regard for my situation, charged a hefty fee, and caused more harm than help. His lack of care and professionalism was appalling.

I would strongly caution others against instructing Mr Hussain. Clients deserve better — someone who listens, communicates, and advocates with integrity.

Great service from the clerks and team and Lynne Counsel was excellent. We got a great result from the hearing and were immediately updated by Lynne with the outcome.

Christopher Cant is extremely knowledgeable on CIL, we have been receiving some excellent advice over the years as a Charging Authority, would highly recommend Christopher if you have a CIL issue

My family and I was unexpectedly thrown in a court case where we were innocently accused of things. We didn’t know what to do and started looking for representation. Thomas from the barrister group contacted us back and after discussing the situation with him he got us a solicitor that helped us. We got Farah as a solicitor and we could not have asked for someone better. She was on our side from the beginning and reassured us throughout the whole case. We could not have asked for anyone better and we are glad we got to deal with them both. We will always be grateful to both Thomas and Farah for all their support.

We instructed Clark Gard for a possession hearing.

The client was very impressed with Mr Gard, describing him as "excellent" and "extremely effective in obtaining the court order for the repossession".

His communication before the hearing was good, he understood and implemented the instructions well, and he provided a detailed written attendance note.

Farhan was so friendly and helpful. I was so nervous and he put me at ease and made this horrible process so much better. I can not thank him enough and highly recommend him.

Thank you again :)

We were extremely impressed with Nadeem Aslam’s representation. He was very attentive, quick on his feet, and clearly had a well-thought-out strategy which he executed effectively. It was evident he had read the papers in great depth and detail, and his preparation was thorough, including arriving well before the hearing to hold a detailed conference.

His professionalism, courtesy, and excellent communication throughout were outstanding, keeping both us and the client fully informed at every stage. Most importantly, Nadeem was able to achieve the desired result for the client, which was our primary objective. The client was delighted with his services, and we will be retaining him for the remainder of this matter. We would not hesitate to instruct him again in future cases.

Barrister Abbas Khan was great and client relations was superb.

He stepped into the case last minute and was able to grasp and pick up the issues immediately with a fantastic turnaround.

His advocacy was incredible. He was very good with the client and made them feel at ease.

I will highly recommend Barrister Abbas Khan.

Instructing Barrister Asim is great experience, he is always available to help you with quick advice.

Paul O'Callaghan was great.

He stepped into the case last minute and was able to grasp the issues imediately.

His advocacy was incredible and secured a great result for my client. He was very good with the client and made them feel at ease.

Highly recommended.

Farhan Ahmad was very professional. He clearly explained the process of what would happen in Court and what was expected of me. He kept me calm, was supportive and won my case. Thank you

We would not hesitate to work with Philip Hodder again and highly recommend him. He demonstrated professionalism and efficiency. He responded promptly to all correspondence, ensuring that communication was clear, timely, and constructive.

Expensive waste of time. Fruitless advice that 4 year old would have known was illogical. When I complained they just closed ranks and brushed it under the carpet. Avoid at all costs. Stay away and find another organisation that is honest.

Do not USE James Osborne.

Farhan Ahmad

Was amazing, knew exactly what do to and had a plan of action to win the case. Very confident in his work. Reassured me thought the case making the case less stressful!

I recently instructed Stephen Bishop, and have been doing so for a considerable period. Stephen is fantastic to work with. He is accessible and demystifies the law for the lay persons. Comment from an HR manager, "wish we had instructed Stephen earlier, and would have been able to manage the situation better". I highly recommend Stephen.

DO NOT USE
awful, tell you they will find you the best barrister for your case.

Not true, find a good local barrister
DO NOT USE Philip Bowen.

Recently received legal advice from Balahl Khan. Very professional, knowledgeable and experienced in family law. Would definitely recommend him for anyone that is in the unfortunate situation of going through a difficult divorce. You won't be disappointed.
