Zubair was helpful and friendly

Zubair was helpful and friendly. He helped during family proceedings, I had him only on the one occasion but if it required it, I would definitely use him again without hesitation. Top barrister and top bloke. Would recommend to anyone.

Outstanding Representation

Zubair knew my case inside out and was completely dedicated from start to finish. He advised me to slightly alter my position statement and thanks to his guidance and document drafting we achieved a Shared Care Lives With Order, an outcome better than I ever expected. He was always professional and supportive. I can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him to anyone going through family proceedings.

Excellent barrister

Mr. Zubair Mughal represented me in private family law proceedings. He thoroughly examined my case, identifying both its strengths and weaknesses. His cross-examination skills were excellent, and his knowledge of family law was impressive. I also used his services for an appeal, which was successful. I would rate him 10 out of 10 and highly recommend him.

I sincerely appreciate Mr

I sincerely appreciate Mr. Zubair, a barrister with exceptional expertise, for handling my extremely complicated family case. Alhamdulillah, the matter was resolved in my favor. After three long years of not seeing my children, they are finally living by my side. I truly value Mr. Zubair’s dedicated efforts and professional skills. Even the honorable judge admired his presentation of exhibits and the way he represented the case.

Online at online-barrister provides good guidance overall, but my experience was mixed. While knowledgeable and empathetic, delays and some shortcomings affected the outcome. Although helpful initially, the final result wasn’t satisfactory. The company has potential, but further improvements in communication and consistency are needed. An average choice for legal representation, based on my experience.

Highly recommended

First things first , I would highly recommend Zubair to represent anyone who are having difficulties seeing there kids .
After going though a very painful and stressful time having access to my son , I was recommended by a friend to have Zubair represent me at my final hearing After getting in contact with Zubair and booking him in for my final court date , he was very quick with responding to my emails and phone calls which makes things a lot less stressful . When we got to court , and I heard the way he spoke to social workers and the defendant solicitor , I thought this guy is very good and befour the decision was made I couldn’t thank his enough for what he has done , when we got back in the court room and the judge read out the decision I was just over the moon I got everything I purposed could not thank him enough. It wasn’t a very nice process but it was worth every penny thanks to Zubair

Barrister

I would highly recommend Zubair Mughal as a family barrister. He navigated us through a very long and stressful final hearing for shared custody of my son and we achieved a positive outcome. I honestly believe we would not be in the position we are today without the expertise and knowledge of Zubair.

Zubair is a good barrister

Zubair is a good barrister. Having used a few barristers for private child matters I would say he knows his stuff and gives good advice. He is familiar with what actions displeases a judge which is also helpful in a court room. Furthermore, Zubair has a clear, methodological, style when presenting himself in the court room. I personally used him for a fact finding hearing last year and had good value for the cost. I’m sure he will do well in his career and wish him the best.

Zubair was amazing on my child custody…

Zubair was amazing on my child custody case, as the non biological father, he was still able to get me a lives with both parents order with a 50/50 shared custody arrangement. I was very impressed with how quickly he picked all the important points from all the paperwork and he made the final court hearing a very relaxed experience, something that I never expected to happen. Thank you Zubair

Exceptional support and guidance

I am immensely grateful for the exceptional support and guidance provided by Zubair, during the final hearing of my child arrangements case.

Zubair demonstrated a profound understanding of family law and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome.

His expert advice and strategic approach were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the case.

I highly recommend Zubair Mughal to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate family law barrister.

Distraught

I am really shocked by the reviews that speak so positively of Mr.Mughal. This was certainly not my experience, my case was very poorly handled, myself and my children are now losing our family home, all of us are suffering from severe anxiety and stress due to losing our court case. Mr Mughal was unprepared and didn't give my case the effort and time it deserved. I was given financial aid due to the abuse I suffered by my ex, I will now have to pay this back even though I lost my case.

I find your response patronising and condescending, and an insult to people that suffer with anxiety and depression. The fact that responded in this manor further validates my point of how unprofessional you are. I have taken my complaint further to the law ombudsman, the repercussions of your handling of my case are still ongoing.

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from severe stress and anxiety. It seems like you’re struggling and I hope you get some guidance and professional help soon.

Having said that, I do not agree with anything you say in your review, and I am entirely comfortable with how I handled your case. Unfortunately, I cannot go into the detail, as I would be breaching confidentiality.

However, given you've mentioned that you were "given financial aid" and you "now have to pay this back even though I lost my case", I will explain how legal aid works.

Where a party is legally aided, a statutory charge will, subject to certain exceptions, apply to property recovered or preserved in the proceedings. This is governed by the Civil Legal Aid (Statutory Charge) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/503) (see Regulation 4) The exceptions are set out at Regulation 5.

What this means is that where someone has gained or preserved assets (cash or otherwise) through legal proceedings, they will have to pay back the government the legal aid funding they were granted.

The regulations apply to every legally aided party who fits the criteria.

Zubair has been excellent

Zubair represented me twice in family court hearings and his dedication, work ethic and professionalism to my case has been outstanding so thank you so much. I would have no hesitation in recommending Zubair as he will go the extra mile and truly dedicates himself to your case.

Helpful and Professional service.

Zubair has been absolutely amazing. He has been very professional and consistent throughout. He has helped us with a very painful and emotional case and he has done it sensitively and also been very honest throughout with the advice he has provided. He has also gone above and beyond his role in terms of time spent and we haven’t quite finished but he has been a very trustworthy person to work with and hope to continue with him during this difficult process.

Successful hearing

Mr Zubair has represented me twice on a family related case. I admired his devotion to my case and his strong work ethic. The advice that he provided was extremely helpful, and I am happy to say that we were successful. As a result of his expertise, I have been able to reconnect with my daughter and continue building a beautiful bond with her. I'd highly recommend Mr Zubair and cannot thank him enough for his services over the past 6 months.
