What my clients say
Ms V. D-M. – Commercial Client, London
"Forz could not have been more helpful with my case. It was an incredibly stressful time for me, but his professionalism and empathy was invaluable in preparing for my day in court. I could not recommend him more highly".
Deniece E Lines - Solicitor & Partner, London
"Forz Khan is an excellent lawyer with an appreciation of what matters to the individual client. His practice is professional and efficient. I have found him a pleasure to work with and would not hesitate to instruct him in the future".
Mr K. - Chartered Accountant & Businessman, London
"A first class service with excellent professionalism. Throughout the six months of overseeing my case I was informed in detail of every action and possible outcomes. This helped greatly in reducing any anxieties I had regarding my pending case. I was grateful for the reassuring support and confidence of Forz who ultimately delivered on the favourable outcome which he had advised would be the most likely outcome. I will use Forz again in all my future Counsel requirements and I would absolutely recommend his chambers as the first point of call for anyone else".
A Bhailok - Solicitor & Senior Partner, Lancashire
“I particularly enjoy attending his trials and make sure I am present for the closing speech in which Mr Khan excels in turning around the most hopeless of cases, as a number of my defendants have themselves discovered. Mr Khan has particularly excelled himself in a number of regulatory matters that I briefed him on getting excellent results on highly technical points of law and thus securing acquittals when the facts warranted convictions. I particularly recall 2 cases, one a counterfeiting conspiracy and the other a company charged with planning breaches when the prosecution offered no evidence having read Mr Khan’s skeleton arguments on the law. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to you whatsoever”.
