“Mehtab was fantastic. She put my mind at ease from the first introduction. My bundle was enormous and she very quickly assimilated the key allegations. She sought clarification when necessary which was important as the information was quite technical.

Mehtab’s cross examination was flawless and so inspiring to watch. I’m sure it helped the court to get to the heart of the key issues being discussed. I enjoyed her positivity and she’s fantastically professional. Thanks for your help last week in getting us connected.”

Kindest regards,
