Ms Naz was very personable and very supportive. She took on my case so midway through, which I was worried about. However I need not have been worried, because she was very knowledgeable and very committed to my case. Ms Naz's guidance was clear, her advice was realistic and invaluable in. She was very thorough and kept in constant contact with me to guide me through my matter. I always felt fully informed about the progress of my case and confident that Ms Naz was doing her best to achieve the best outcomes for me.

My matter was handled very professionally. Ms Naz successfully resolved my matter and delivered the best possible outcomes for me. I am delighted with the service that I received and I would I happily recommend Ms Naz.

I was represented by shabaz Ahmed who was extremely competent in his work. He was very reassuring through out the process and kept me informed. He explained every step to me in a way that I could understand as the case progressed. He was very easy to talk to and didn't judge me which made me feel at ease. I recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer. A+++ service. Thanks again for getting me and my family through these difficult times. I hope to never get in trouble again, but if I do, I know who I will be going to. Thanks again.

I would like thank Edwards Duthie for representing myself recently in a private matter. Whilst the situation was unfortunate, I needed representation due to the technicality of the matter. I was represented by Shabaz who was very thorough in attaining a detailed report and setting up an agenda to defend myself in the case. I was very impressed with the way the case was handled and would recommend his services.
