I specialise in Criminal defence work and Immigration. I am regularly instructed as a junior alone or led junior in serious criminal cases. Before joining the independent Bar I was a Legal Adviser to Magistrates in the West Midlands.
I have defended in a wide spectrum of Criminal cases ranging from serious violence, fraud, drugs, and sexual offences. I have a High Court Licence to Practice in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and I am able to accept instructions to undertake work in Pakistan.
I have lectured in Pakistan on Immigration Law and have advised on UK related legal matters. I am well versed with the Pakistani Criminal Code. I regularly appear before the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal. In addition I advise and draft grounds of Appeal for Appeals subject to reconsideration and matters before the Court of Appeal. |
